This professional organization represents the highest standards of family law practice in the nation. The firm is one of only two in all of South Dakota to hold this prestigious designation, reflecting a commitment to continuing legal education, ethical practice, and exceptional results in matrimonial matters. AAML membership is extraordinarily selective. Attorneys must meet stringent requirements including demonstrated excellence in matrimonial law, continued legal education focused on family law, and peer recognition of family law expertise. The fact that Strange Farrell Johnson & Brewers is one of only two AAML member firms in all of South Dakota—a state with numerous law firms—speaks powerfully to their standing and expertise. The firm's family law practice encompasses the full spectrum of matrimonial matters. Whether clients face straightforward divorces or complex cases involving substantial assets, custody disputes, or post-divorce modifications, the team applies both legal expertise and practical wisdom. Their experience with complex divorces means they can untangle intricate financial arrangements, business interests, and property divisions extending across multiple jurisdictions.
