Law Firm Overview

Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, combines the tradition and history of two of the state's leading law firms in the fields of local government law, public finance, and development. LeFevere, Lefler, Kennedy, O'Brien, & Drawz, P.A., founded in 1958, and Holmes & Graven, Chartered, founded in 1973, combined their law practices in 1989. Since 1989, we have continued to build upon the firm's strong foundation by expanding and diversifying our representation of public and private clients.

From our firm's strong historic foundation, our attorneys focus on the present and future needs of the clients whom we are privileged to serve, with a total commitment to excellence, personal integrity, and the highest ethical standards. The foundation of our success rests on solid, long-term relationships with our clients, many of whom we have represented since 1958. We are dedicated to the interests of our clients and the delivery of responsive, creative, practical, and high quality solutions to their problems.

We welcome the opportunity to assist you with legal representation, and encourage you to contact us for more information.
