About the Firm

Community-Based Lawyers

We’re a Minnesota Family Business Helping Clients Since 1924

So you’re facing a legal issue. Maybe you saw it coming or maybe you never thought this could happen to you. Either way, you probably have a thousand thoughts, worries and questions running through your head. What should I do next? How can I protect myself? How do I know I’m choosing the right attorney?

At Flakne Law, our firm is built on the principle of really getting to know our clients and building long-lasting ties within our community. We are proud to have served clients in Minneapolis and beyond for many years, and many of the relationships we have established—both personal and professional—are still standing strong.

Flake Law is a family business that’s been around for nearly a century. Our business was established by Kleve Flakne, who was a distinguished lawyer in Minnesota from 1924 until his death in 1960. Gary Flakne practiced law from 1960 until his retirement in 2014. Gary and Brian practiced together starting in 1981, after Gary left the Hennepin County Attorney’s office.

The firm is currently owned and managed by Brian Flakne, who takes pride in maintaining the family business and its dedication to always placing the interests of its clients first.

Our Values

We believe an educated client is a successful one. When you learn everything you can about the legal issue you are dealing with, you will be coming from a position of strength if you have to face court. It is also important that you choose an attorney you can work well with. By educating yourself, you’ll know what questions to ask a lawyer about your particular situation so you can accurately test their ability to handle your problem.

At Flakne Law, we want you to ask us any and all questions, and we are ready to take your call. We believe in taking the time to teach you about the specifics of your situation so you have the best chance of protecting yourself and your future when facing a legal issue.
