I want to take a moment and answer THE question on everyone's mind. Why South Dakota?. I am licensed in South Dakota, California, and Arizona. So again, why South Dakota?. There is not a deep, dark, or mysterious answer, but the answer is twofold. Professionally, South Dakota needs lawyers. That is not a secret. It would be silly to run a practice in a state that is overrun with lawyers. There is a need here, so I am going to help fill that need.. Personally, South Dakota is the best place in the United States to live and raise a family. The people in South Dakota are bar none the best in the United States, and I am glad to count myself among them!
