About

Gerdes & McNeary is a general practice law firm serving northeastern South Dakota from its downtown Aberdeen location near the Brown County Courthouse. Founded over thirty years ago, the firm has built its reputation on accessible, cost-effective representation across criminal defense, family law, and civil litigation matters.

The firm is led by William D. Gerdes and Jerry McNeary. Gerdes has spent more than three decades serving the legal needs of the Aberdeen region and is known for an aggressive courtroom presence. McNeary, an Aberdeen native, returned to his community to practice law and has established himself as a trusted local attorney with particular focus on criminal defense and family law matters.

Gerdes & McNeary emphasizes early strategic counsel and, when necessary, vigorous court representation. The attorneys recognize that the legal system is complex and can work against those facing trouble, making experienced guidance from the outset essential. The firm handles a broad range of civil matters, including contractual and property disputes, debt recovery, professional negligence claims, and insurance litigation. In family law, the firm provides cost-effective representation while remaining mindful of the emotional dimensions of family breakdown, working toward amicable resolution when possible.

The firm's approach centers on achieving the best possible outcome for each client through knowledgeable, efficient representation. The attorneys work to resolve matters with civility while advocating vigorously for client interests. They serve individuals and businesses throughout the region.

The firm maintains convenient hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Saturday appointments available by arrangement. Their office is located at 14 South Main Street, Suite 303, in Aberdeen, directly adjacent to the courthouse facilities.
