Haynes Melbye Law Office | Criminal Defense and Family Law in Dickinson, ND (h1)

Haynes Melbye Law Office is located at 2048 3rd Avenue West, Dickinson, North Dakota 58601, where the firm has served Western North Dakota for more than 40 years. Led by attorney Jami L. Haynes, who joined the practice in 2013 after earning her J.D. from the University of North Dakota School of Law, the office also includes attorney Elizabeth Hill, who was sworn in to practice in North Dakota in 2023. The firm can be reached at (701) 483-1700 for consultations covering criminal law, estate planning, probate, and family law matters.

The firm’s criminal defense work spans the range of charges typical in Stark County and the surrounding region, and clients are guided through each stage with an emphasis on plain-language explanations rather than legal jargon. Haynes and Hill describe their approach as “professional and compassionate,” taking time to listen to client concerns before mapping out available options. That grounding in clear communication carries over from the firm’s broader family law and estate planning practice, giving clients facing criminal charges a single point of contact who also understands the collateral effects a case can have on custody, employment, and financial matters.

The office traces its roots to founding attorney Diane F. Melbye, who established the practice in the mid-1980s as Dickinson’s first permanent female attorney and practiced for 42 years before retiring in 2022. That long local history, combined with Haynes’s own ties to the community as a Dickinson native, has helped the firm build a steady reputation among clients in Western North Dakota seeking accessible, straightforward legal representation.
