Haldor Sandvik
Founding partner, Sioux Falls
Haldor started the firm in Sioux Falls and leads its truck and wrongful-death cases.
Haldor grew up on a farm outside Canton and spent his first years as a lawyer defending insurance companies. He switched sides when he got tired of reading files about people he'd never meet.
He still takes the firm's hardest cases himself and goes to every scene that involves a semi.

Why Haldor visits every truck scene
A truck crash scene changes fast. The skid marks fade, the guardrail gets fixed and the truck goes back into service.
Haldor goes out with Emir in the first week, walks the road and measures it himself. Years later, at a deposition, he can still say what he saw.
