Larson Latham Huettl

What Larson Latham Huettl does

Larson Latham Huettl is a North Dakota-based, full-service law firm founded in May 2007 and headquartered in Bismarck, with operational reach into Mandan and Fargo. The firm was established by Gregory C. Larson, Steven L. Latham, and Damian J. Huettl and currently operates with 11–50 staff, including 10–15 attorneys. Practice coverage spans criminal defense, family law, business law, estate planning, elder law, agricultural law, oil and gas, real estate, and personal injury, serving both individuals and small-to-mid-size businesses across the state.

The firm is organized as a traditional legal partnership and generates revenue through hourly and case-based legal fees tied to representation in litigation, transactional, and advisory matters. There is no evidence of a proprietary technology platform, software product, or alternative-fee subscription model; the offering is human-capital-intensive professional services rather than a scaled legal-tech business. Senior lateral additions such as Of Counsel Jonathan Byers (February 2019) and Dean J. Haas extend prosecutorial and government-side depth, supporting the firm's litigation and advisory capabilities.

Service delivery is anchored in Bismarck, with extensions into Fargo and Mandan reflecting a deliberate geographic build-out within North Dakota's two largest metro areas. The firm carries third-party credentialing including the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and a Lead Counsel Rating (2016) for Damian Huettl, which function as reputational assets in a trust-driven category. As a private partnership with no disclosed financials, headcount growth is the primary observable scale signal.

Regional players

• Zuger Kirmis & Smith: Bismarck-area law firm with overlapping practice areas in personal injury, family law, criminal defense, and general litigation. Direct competitor in the Bismarck legal market for consumer-facing matters.

Direct peers

• Vogel Law Firm: Full-service law firm headquartered in Fargo, ND with similar horizontal practice mix including family law, business law, estate planning, real estate, and litigation. Most direct comparable to LLH in terms of regional scope, North Dakota footprint, and multi-practice general service orientation.
• Nilles Law Firm: Established Fargo, ND-based full-service law firm covering family law, business, estate planning, criminal defense, and personal injury. Comparable headcount and practice breadth, serving the same North Dakota market with overlapping geographic coverage in the Fargo-Moorhead region.
• Serkland Law Firm: Fargo, ND-based full-service firm offering business law, real estate, estate planning, litigation, and family law. Similar size and multi-practice model to LLH, competing for the same middle-market North Dakota clients across the Red River Valley.
• Wheeler Wolf Law Firm: Bismarck-based law firm directly competing in the same local market as LLH with comparable practice areas including business law, estate planning, family law, and litigation. Head-to-head competitor for Bismarck-area clients and referral sources.

Broad incumbents

• Dorsey & Whitney: Large international law firm with historical ties to the Upper Midwest. Competes with LLH for higher-end transactional and litigation matters that escalate beyond regional firm capacity, particularly in energy, agribusiness, and corporate matters.
• Fredrikson & Byron: Large Minneapolis-based regional law firm with offices in North Dakota and broader Midwest footprint. Represents the larger, broader-scope competitor that can absorb matters LLH might decline, while competing for higher-end commercial and estate planning work in the Bismarck market.
• Husch Blackwell: National law firm with growing presence across the Plains and Midwest, including work in North Dakota energy, agribusiness, and real estate. Overlaps with LLH's oil & gas, agricultural, and real estate practices from a broader-institution position.
