Whether our client is a long term care facility with a difficult survey, a nurse facing her licensing board, or a manufacturer launching a new business venture, we're proud to help. Orbovich & Gartner will listen to our clients, find the relevant law and develop a targeted approach to solve our clients' needs and meet their goals.
When Sam Orbovich, Judith Gartner, Susan Schaffer and Tom Skorczeski formed our firm in 1993, they envisioned a smart, effective and efficient law firm where all attorneys would be conveniently accessible, helpful and responsive.
Our lawyers are smart, experienced, friendly and tenacious. That may be why most of Orbovich & Gartner's new legal projects come from clients who have been represented by the firm for years. Whether it's a long term care facility developing a new senior housing complex, a manufacturer acquiring a new product line or a Medicaid provider challenging an OBRA survey, our clients know they can count on us for quick daily advice on routine questions, or major representation in litigation or transactional negotiations.
Sometimes an ounce of early legal advice is worth far more than a pound of litigation cure. Our efficient clients ask our opinion and advice early to avoid costly and protracted litigation. When disputes and lawsuits are inevitable, we dig for the facts and law that prove our client's position.

Located in the Historic Hamm Building in downtown St. Paul, our firm is small by design.

Many Orbovich & Gartner clients are heavily-regulated businesses or organizations.
Our lawyers have an unparalleled, in-depth knowledge of the intricate state and federal laws and regulations facing these clients. We answer day-to-day routine legal questions promptly. We also negotiate private transactions, craft contracts, and provide advice on maintaining compliance with applicable laws. Orbovich & Gartner's litigators have successfully represented clients in federal court, state court, appellate courts, and administrative hearings.
A professional and devoted administrative team supports the Orbovich & Gartner lawyers. Our firm utilizes state-of-the art computer word and data processing, and has direct email to all personnel.
