Mary Ann Pfeifer

Mary A. Pfeifer was born in Minot, raised and educated in Watford City, North Dakota, and went on to earn a B.S.W. from Minnesota State University—Moorhead in 2001. She received her Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law in 2004 and is licensed in Minnesota, as well as the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. With roughly nine years of practice experience, Mary concentrates on family law and also represents clients in tax matters, probate, and estate planning. In family cases, she helps with everything from divorce and paternity to adoption, custody, parenting time, child support, and third-party or grandparents’ rights, as well as protection orders, harassment matters, and termination of parental rights. Her tax practice includes resolving unpaid state and federal tax issues, handling audits, and pursuing options such as offers in compromise and penalty abatement. She also assists families with wills, contested and uncontested probate, and related disputes, including power of attorney and property issues. Mary’s approach is practical and people-focused: she prefers negotiated resolutions or mediation when possible, but she is fully prepared to litigate and guide clients through court when necessary.
