About Dougherty, Molenda, Solfest, Hills & Bauer P.A.

General Practice Law Firm | Large Enough to Serve You, Small Enough to Know You

At Dougherty, Molenda, Solfest, Hills & Bauer P.A., our legal services are carefully tailored to fit the individual needs of our clients. Whether providing legal counsel on complex litigation, real estate or estate planning matters or offering day-to-day advice on contract issues or consumer questions, our attorneys are goal-oriented, and we understand that clients trust us to provide clear-cut advice and aggressive advocacy.

Through a culture of open communication and value-oriented legal services, we have developed many long-lasting relationships with our clients, many of whom return to us year after year. As we continue to grow, we are committed to maintaining the small-firm culture our clients appreciate. In that regard, we are continually examining new ways to provide more individual attention to our clients. We recognize that not all clients are the same, but we also understand that, whether a large bank or an individual homeowner, our clients appreciate it when we do the little things, like responding to client voicemails the same day we receive them. It's one of our commitments, and it's just one reflection of the firm culture that we believe sets us apart. Whatever the practice area or project, our attorneys work to create an innovative and collegial atmosphere with clients, and an environment in which the ethical practice of law and the strength of the attorney-client relationship are of primary importance.

Hired Attorney Brian Clausen

Dealing with separation and facing a painful divorce, I could not have asked for a better ally than Brian Clausen. Coming highly recommended by a trusted friend, he exceeded any expectations with his professional counsel and compassionate advocacy throughout my ordeal. It's not easy trusting a near-stranger at an emotionally overwhelming time in your life. But Brian offered a steady presence throughout my divorce, balancing compassion with candid guidance when I had tunnel vision. He tactfully held ground on my behalf in tense meetings and mediations without losing sight of big-picture goals. Brian and his team run an impressively organized operation that exudes professionalism in every detail. Above all, I felt heard, reassured, and empowered thanks to his strategies and accessibility day-to-day. He was my hero and worth every penny.

Christine and her team did an excellent job representing me. Christine was honest, respectful, and professional. She was an advocate for me during a hard time in my life. Christine was very knowledgeable of the law and court system. Not only did she work hard, but she also knew what issues to fight because of her depth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Christine Cassellius in all family law issues.

Hired Attorney Atty. Sharon Hills

Even uphill battles CAN be won with the conservative views of MN courts - Sharon was level headed, direct and a joy to work with. She is an asset to anyone's difficult Divorce/Custody issues.

Hired Attorney Ryan Bies

I received personal attention by Ryan and his staff and was made to feel a part of the whole process. He answered my questions and gave me personal, true-to-life, answers. He has a wealth of knowledge. He definitely made me feel as if we were a team. He truly understood my needs and made sure that I was given the best representation without making me feel as if I were just a number or "billable hours." I highly recommend him to anyone going through any legal issues that Ryan deals with.

Hired Attorney Ryan Bies

Ryan was very to talk with. He didn't try to impress anybody that he was a lawyer; rather he spoke to the level of the client - very professional and personable at the same time. I was very pleased with the services Ryan provided me during a time of major "challenges" in my life. Good attorney, but more importantly a great person.

I found Ryan to be extremely helpful in explaining details and walking me through a completely unfamiliar and difficult procedure. Very responsive, respectful, discreet and I felt at all time that I could completely trust him and his advice.

Hired Law Firm

Our nonprofit organization obtains help from Michael Klemm, Esq. to purchase 5 lots for our parking lot need. He has been extremely helpful in all aspects in protecting our interest for example...He makes sure that the purchase is a fair price, the zoning and soil testing are properly done. He is alert to make sure that we follow the rule and the law to make sure that we would not run into problem later on. I highly recommend Michael Klemm, Esq. and his law firm.

Member of the firm wrote wills for me and spouse. Later wrote an addendum to the wills. They were clear in their communications, easily met our requests, and were courteous and efficient in dealing with us.

Hired Law Firm

He was very aggressive and very thorough in his search for information on our case. He never made us feel like we were stupid for asking questions and gave us a tremendous amount of hope. He also was willing to work with us when we couldn't pay him because of our situation.
