About

Severin Law Firm is a virtual law practice based in Bismarck, North Dakota, serving clients throughout the state in real estate, estate planning, bankruptcy, and family law matters. Founded on the principle that quality legal representation should be accessible regardless of where a client lives, the firm operates without a physical office, allowing clients to meet with attorneys remotely from home and benefit from lower overhead costs reflected in competitive fees.

The firm is led by Tom Severin, an attorney with more than a decade of courthouse experience and a background that combines practical expertise with global perspective. A Bismarck native who studied in France and attended the University of Minnesota, Tom worked in the oil and gas industry before earning his Juris Doctorate from Western Michigan University's Law School. He is admitted to practice in North Dakota and Colorado, and maintains membership in the North Dakota Bar Association, Colorado Bar Association, Larimer County Bar Association, and the American Bar Association. Tom's legal experience spans civil litigation, oil and gas transactions, and complex land title work—skills he applies across the firm's core practice areas.

In real estate, Severin Law Firm handles mineral lease reviews for clients approached by oil companies, ensuring favorable terms before signing. The firm also manages mineral acquisitions involving title research and resolution of defects, drawing on deep familiarity with land records across multiple jurisdictions. For estate planning, the firm works with clients of all financial backgrounds to develop comprehensive plans that protect interests and align with individual goals. The firm recognizes that estate planning extends beyond documents to peace of mind, particularly when clients face health crises or uncertainty about what comes next.

The firm also represents clients navigating divorce, including stipulated divorces where spouses have reached agreement on asset division, and provides bankruptcy guidance for individuals overwhelmed by debt. Client testimonials reflect appreciation for the firm's approachable counsel—one client noted that Tom's advice helped her relax during a contested divorce, which resolved favorably within weeks; another emphasized the importance of having competent representation when facing court proceedings.

Bryan, a second attorney at the firm, brings extensive energy sector experience, having worked as a professional landman researching mineral rights across Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. During law school, he gained knowledge in public utility regulation, electricity markets, greenhouse gas accounting, climate legislation, and grid-scale battery storage—experience that strengthens the firm's capacity in land and energy matters.

Severin Law Firm offers free initial consultations. The virtual model means clients anywhere in North Dakota can access the firm's services without travel, meeting attorneys by phone or video at times that work for their schedules. Contact the firm at 701-433-1411 to discuss your legal needs.
