I recently had the opportunity of having Michael Sabers represent me in my divorce case. Michael and his staff did an amazing job! I know that I was not his only client but they work so hard that it does make you feel that way. Michael took time on weekends if needed to meet with me so that we were fully prepared when we had a court date. I would very highly recommend Loos, Sabers and Smith for your professional representation!!! Thanks again Michael and Staff!!Posted on Google![]()

Fully recommend Hollie Smith as a family law attorney. Navigating a divorce that included child custody, real estate/property division, mediation, and court proceedings was a very challenging time in my life. Attorney Smith demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and compassion throughout the process. Thank you to Hollie and her team.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot reccomend Loos, Sabers and Smith enough. Mrs. Smith provided legal expertise as well as support through an extremely difficult period of my life. Having her and her team in my corner instilled me with a confidence and reassurance I would not have had otherwise. Taking very stressful situations and bringing the temperature down so I could navigate decisions from the right frame of mind. I am grateful for them.Posted on Google![]()

I was in a pretty bad car accident in 2024 that required ongoing medical treatment. Michael Loos and his team made this experience so much easier. I gave them the information and they took care of literally everything else. My only regret is not hiring them sooner. They were able to get me the maximum settlement possible. I will be referring them to anyone in need of a competent and compassionate lawyer for their pain and suffering.Posted on Google![]()

I had a life altering accident and did not know where to turn. I found Michael Loos online. He was so helpful, caring and ready to help. They put together my case of over a year and a half of surgeries and rehab. The whole staff was always helpful and caring. Ultimately, they got me the best possible settlement. Although my injuries are life altering, the settlement is comforting that I will have what I need for my needs in the future. I would highly recommend him and the firm. SJPosted on Google![]()

I am so grateful to Hollie and her team for everything they have done to help me with my case. Mine was unique and she really did her research to help me! She is so professional, knowledgeable and her team are so supportive and understanding about the emotions involved. She took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. She kept me informed on every step. She cares about families and what is in the best interest of the child and really had my back from the start. Hollie and her team gave me so much confidence, helped me gain a backbone to stand up for myself and my child and made it such a smooth process. She really stood up for us and got things done so that we can move forward with our lives. We are so happy how everything is turning out and we are forever grateful to her! Words cannot express how amazing she and her team are!! I highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney! Absolutely the best out there♡♡!!!Posted on Google![]()

Bruce Morgan13 February 2023
I recently completed an 18-month divorce proceeding with Hollie Smith as my attorney. I was referred to Clayborne, Loos and Sabers by another firm after getting nowhere with numerous calls from out of state. When I called, I was told that Hollie would be a good fit for my needs. It was very difficult trying to find a good attorney in South Dakota, sight unseen, from Alaska, on short notice. Hollie turned out to be the angel in a ballcap that I needed. Throughout 24 years in law enforcement, I worked with a lot of attorneys in 8 states in cities and rural areas. There were a few good ones and many more ‘not so much’, so I recognize a good one when they do come along. Hollie and Sherrie Rose did an excellent job overall, as well as Brenda and Betsy in accounting. Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. After 47 ½ years of marriage, the divorce may or may not have been the average divorce, but none-the-less was daunting & complicated in its own ways. Hollie’s prices were reasonable, and she did her best to minimize my expenses. From our initial introduction call, Hollie was always professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, understanding, and a skilled negotiator and strategist. She was respectful of my 24 years of federal law enforcement experience and let me work with her to optimize our case strategy, progress and budget. I submitted over 150 pages of detailed technical documentation and data to support our case, which was at times still difficult to sort out and follow. Hollie and Sherrie did an excellent job of strategically managing the bulk of evidence for Discovery and appropriate responses. They should have been a little overwhelmed at times, trying to comprehend and make use of so much data provided, but that did not seem to be the case. Overall, I was very satisfied with their efforts and ended up with everything I set out to achieve. Hollie showed her true colors during the negotiations, and I am very thankful she was on my side. It was obvious she truly cared and remained encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process. Hollie made me feel like I gained a true friend through the ordeal, and I would recommend her to anyone. She certainly hit the ball out of the park on this one.Posted on Google![]()

Hollie Smith and her office staff were excellent in assisting with my divorce. What could have been a difficult situation dealing with my ex-husband in another country (Brazil), she worked effortlessly to find the path of least resistance. Her staff sent updates via email and she called when necessary. I am a travel nurse and do not reside locally most of the year. She was able to represent me from afar and I was able to attend the final court proceeding via zoom from Hawaii. The entire process was almost effortless. Mahalo nui loa Hollie, from the bottom of my heart. -TMPosted on Google![]()

Autumn Berg28 June 2022
Holly Smith is very knowledgeable when it comes to family court. She listens well and remembers pertinent information and represents her clients well. My situation wasn’t straight forward, as we had already been through the process in another state. If there was ever anything she wasn’t 100% certain about, she wasn’t above asking her colleagues their opinions on a situation. Every time I had to go to the office, the office staff was always professional and courteous. Holly and all of their staff always handled matters in a timely effort. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing help with a custody matter.Posted on Google![]()
Loki Laufeyson28 June 2022
Holly was a wonderful attorney who really listened to what I wanted and needed as well as helped me navigate the sometimes tricky legal system.

I have known Mike Loos for years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with some of the biggest decisions in my life. He has helped me with simple things like wills to more complex things like contract reviews and general legal questions. He takes the time to understand my situation, he patiently answers all of my questions and gives me the confidence to move forward. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()
Matt Sinnemaki18 April 2022
Hollie Smith helped me through my divorce and she hands down is the best attorney that I have ever worked with. Her prices are incredibly reasonable and she was able to help me get everything I was asking for and was always readily available when I would have questions. She would always keep me in the loop of everything going on and helped me feel at ease going through my stressful situation. Watching her work in the courtroom was fantastic and the amazing work her team did behind the scenes have me incredibly impressed. She is committed to her clients 110% and I just couldn’t be happier. I wish there were more stars I could give these ladies. If you need a family lawyer she is the best of the best. Thank you for everything!Posted on Google![]()

Elaine Houghton13 July 2021
The best reference for a lawyer is that other lawyers hire him or her. That makes the lawyer a "lawyer's lawyer" -- high praise indeed. As a retired appellate court judge, my first experience seeking high stakes representation led me directly to Travis Jones. Litigation traumatizes. Travis and his terrific support team immediately lifted burdens from my shoulders and gained excellent results. He is a judge's lawyer and a lawyer's lawyer. Hire Travis Jones because he and his assistants are the best. Judge Elaine Houghton (retired), Washington State Court of AppealsPosted on Google![]()

I was pleased with the services provided by Hollie Smith. She was attentive to what I wanted, and efficiently made that happen. She delivered a level of professionalism to myself and to the opposing party that was polite and effective. My case was unique, yet we had the results we strived for. I highly recommend Hollie in regards to child custody cases. Also, the other staff members were very helpful and they have good coffee!!Posted on Google![]()

Good people. Courtney represents us with integrity and we're relieved to work with someone who has a deep understanding of how to handle our case. We worked with someone else in Rapid City before who we felt didn't uphold their integrity in our case and it was a fruitless and expensive nightmare. We're very thankful to have found someone who is responsible and respectful to all parties involved. I recommend this firm.Posted on Google![]()
Clyde Smallwood23 October 2020
Hollie Smith recently represented my granddaughter in a case. Hollie was pleasant and very professional, She discussed the facts surrounding the case and the difficulties that might be encountered. The case took a surprising turn however Hollie never lost focus, remained calm and was always in full control of the situation. Every time a "curve ball" was thrown at her, "she knocked it out of the park" and was completely prepared for every contingency. I have since recommended her to several people i know, who were in need of legal assistance and i will continue to recommend her in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Eric and his team provided excellent service in handling a traffic accident which occurred while on vacation (I'm not from SD).

I hired Eric Schlimgen as my attorney for a DUI which I was charged with last December. He represented me in the best light possible without any room for me to wonder what was going on within my case. He kept me up to date right away after court dates while I was out of town and ensured that he would find the best possible solution for my problem. He was available as much as he could be with his equally busy lifestyle. Eric maintained his professionalism and positive demeanor throughout the entirety of my case, and I would hire him again over any other lawyer in South Dakota without a doubt. Thank you again Eric!!Posted on Google![]()

FAQ
Motor vehicle accident compensation can cover your full medical care, including rehabilitative therapy, property damage (fixing or replacing your car), and any lost wages if you had to miss time at work. You may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering and emotional trauma from the event.
Yes, even if you were not wearing a helmet, that doesn’t mean that the driver who struck you wasn’t negligent. South Dakota doesn’t require motorcyclists over 18 to wear helmets. However, a judge may look askance at your not wearing a helmet and consider you reckless or uncaring for your safety, which could impact your award if your case goes to trial.
Yes, any medical professional may be named as a defendant in a malpractice suit. Nursing professionals must adhere to certain standards of patient care and treatment, and a failure to do so can be considered malpractice. Building a case against a Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner is much like building a malpractice case against a doctor.
Assigning liability in a pedestrian accident case starts with investigating the circumstances of the accident, gathering evidence, and seeking witnesses or a video of the accident. Your lawyer may also evaluate the driver’s behavior, including looking at the car’s event data recorder and possibly their phone records to see if they were illegally using the phone at the time of the wreck.
A denial from the insurance company isn’t the end of the road after a bicycle accident. Your bike accident lawyer can appeal the decision with the insurance company, and if that’s unsuccessful, then they may file a lawsuit against the driver who struck you. Bicycle accident lawyers are trained negotiators and may be able to achieve a better settlement for you than you could on your own.
Damages available for families in a wrongful death case include funeral and burial expenses for the deceased and any medical expenses they may have incurred after the accident before they passed away. Your family may also sue for the loss of financial support and benefits you no longer have because of the loss of your loved one, as well as pain and suffering, and mental anguish.
Your lawyer can negotiate a fair settlement with the trucker’s insurance company and, if their employer is also liable for the wreck, their insurance company. Insurance carriers tend to drag their feet and find any reason to deny a claim. Your lawyer can cut through the red tape and achieve a solution.
