It was originally a coal-burning power plant. The Minnesota-based law firm of Sieben Alexander P.A. has delivered nationally recognized legal representation to asbestos injury clients throughout the Upper Midwest for more than 37 years.

Minnesota Asbestos Lawyers for Black Dog Coal Power Plant Workers
We are known for our work on mesothelioma cases related to most of Minnesota’s largest asbestos sites. Our work on these sites means, in many cases, not only have we already processed and analyzed the evidence, we may be the only ones who have it. Many of these sites simply do not exist anymore.
For that reason, firms from around the United States seek us out when they want to bring their clients’ asbestos cases here in Minnesota. In some cases, people from here in Minnesota retained a firm based outside of Minnesota that advertised here and then works with us on their case. You can cut out the middleman by simply working with us from the start.
Our attorneys aim to recover maximum compensation for you as we have done in hundreds and hundreds of other cases. We also do so in a manner that is compassionate. Ultimately, we want you and your loved ones to focus on what matters: spending time with each other, not spending time in court if it can be avoided.
