Attorneys and staff of Cloquet’s 47-year-old Rudy Law Firm will become part of the Duluth-based Fryberger Law Firm, effective Jan. 1, 2020. On that date, the Cloquet firm will be known as Rudy, Gassert, Yetka, Pritchett & Helwig, a Fryberger Law Firm Practice Group. Rudy attorneys and staff will continue to operate out of offices at 813 Cloquet Avenue.
“We have long respected the superb work done by the Rudy Law Firm and are looking forward to using that experience to complement and strengthen the Fryberger Law Firm,” said Fryberger President David Oberstar. “Although there will be a change in the firm’s legal name, there won’t be any change in the exceptional guidance and community involvement the Rudy Law Firm has provided to families and businesses in the greater Cloquet area since 1973.”
The Cloquet office will continue to provide services in the areas of real estate, business, estate planning and probate, family law, transactional law, municipal law, employment law, intellectual property law and general civil litigation.
Rudy Attorney David Pritchett said he and his colleagues are looking forward to the additional strength and resources that will be available to existing and future clients.
“People throughout the Upper Midwest are familiar with the Fryberger firm and its reputation for excellent legal advice and counsel,” said Pritchett. “This is a perfect fit for Rudy clients, Fryberger clients and our future clients, all of whom will benefit from the combined expertise that will be available to serve them.”
