As the only non-science person in a medical family, I know what it’s like to sit in a room full of people who are speaking their own language and not understand a word of what is being said.  Just like the medical field, the law tends to have a language all of its own. With a background in education and mediation, I love finding ways to explain complicated legal matters in everyday language and helping my clients resolve their legal problems in the most effective and efficient way possible. In addition to being an attorney I am also a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece and a mother of four.  I understand that whatever legal issues I am helping you with are intensely personal to you and likely involve your relationship(s) with family members.  Whether you are dealing with the death or incapacity of a loved one or are working on putting together your own estate plan, at the end of the day my goal is to give you the peace of mind that comes with understanding the laws and procedures that apply to the issues you are dealing with.

A graduate of Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College and the University of Oklahoma, Rexford A. Hagg was admitted to the Oklahoma and South Dakota Bars in 1982. His interest in law started was sparked by an excellent law professor that taught torts. Having grown up in a blue-collar family, he was interested in advocating for injured people who may not have had any experience with legal issues. He found it extremely rewarding and therefore focused his legal career to personal injury cases. He tries to discover the human connection that a jury can relate to by spending significant time with the client to understand how the injury has really affected them. His other practice areas include workers compensation law, lobbying, wrongful death, and contract litigation, among others. Concurrently, he has been a city attorney at Box Elder in South Dakota since 1984.
