From Established Litigator To Firm Founder

For years, Adam built his career inside established firms, most recently as an attorney with Livgard, Lloyd & Christel in Minneapolis, where he focused on litigation and complex insurance-related matters. He developed a reputation for being detail‑oriented, protecting clients’ assets and legacies, and guiding them through stressful claims and disputes.

Over time, Adam wanted more control over the kinds of cases he accepted and how he served clients day to day. Launching Hagedorn Law Firm, P.L.L.C. became the path to align his work with his values: straightforward representation, practical advice, and strong advocacy when it matters most.

Legal Focus And Client Promise

Adam’s new firm centers on civil litigation and insurance‑related disputes that often hit people and businesses at vulnerable moments. His practice areas include property damage insurance claims (fire, hail, storm, and other losses), coverage counseling, long‑term disability claims, general civil litigation, and serving as trusted local or co‑counsel.​

On his site, Adam positions himself as a problem solver who prepares every case as if it will go to trial, even while aiming for efficient resolution. The core promise—“Building your case so you can rebuild your life”—captures his mix of toughness in court and calm guidance through stressful legal processes.​

The Vision For A Strong, Approachable Brand

When Adam reached out to Back2Basics, he already had a clear vision of how his new brand should look and feel. He was working with a designer on his logo, curating licensed imagery, and thinking carefully about how to present himself as both commanding and approachable.​

He wanted a visual style that felt strong and secure, yet human and accessible to everyday clients. That meant dark black‑and‑white imagery, a pop of purple and gold as a nod to Minnesota, strong business blues for key calls‑to‑action, bold yet elegant typography, and photography that felt empowering rather than intimidating—all blended into one seamless digital experience.

Choosing The Right Platform And Path

Adam also had practical questions: which platform would best support his launch, how he would maintain the site, how to protect it, and how to manage costs as a new firm owner. Back2Basics walked through timing, future update needs, security management, and scalability alongside his start‑up budget and comfort with technology.​

After exploring both WordPress and Squarespace as options, Back2Basics recommended either path, outlining trade-offs in flexibility, ease of editing, and long-term maintenance. Adam ultimately chose Squarespace so he could enjoy a powerful, custom look with simpler day‑to‑day management and predictable costs as his practice grows.​

Bringing The Website Experience To Life

Back2Basics translated Adam’s brand direction into a cohesive site that delivers a strong first impression and a clear path to action. The homepage anchors his message with concise copy like “Straightforward representation” and highlights his experience as “An experienced attorney for stressful times,” mirroring his no‑nonsense communication style at an accessible reading level.​

Design elements reinforce that message: high‑contrast layouts, dark imagery for gravity, strategic purple and gold accents, and confident blue buttons that guide visitors to learn more or reach out. Clean sections for “Practice Areas,” “Meet Adam,” and FAQs keep navigation simple, so visitors can quickly see if he is the right fit for their legal issue.

Clear Paths To Contact And Support

A key goal of the new site was to make it easy for potential clients and co‑counsel to connect with Adam when stress is high and time is limited. Prominent calls‑to‑action invite visitors to “Contact Adam to Discuss Your Legal Issue,” leading to a secure intake form where they can share details and request help.​

The site lists a dedicated phone number, fax, office hours, and a clear explanation that the firm operates virtually, with meetings held by email, video, or phone unless an in‑person visit is scheduled in advance. Clients can also access a secure portal and online payment link, reflecting Adam’s commitment to efficient, modern service for Minneapolis and surrounding counties.​

A Digital Foundation For Future Growth

With his new website, Adam has a brand platform that matches his experience and ambition as he steps into firm ownership. The Squarespace build gives him room to expand content, add resources, and adjust messaging as his caseload and reputation continue to grow.

For Back2Basics, this project showcases how a clear client vision, thoughtful platform choice, and intentional design can work together to tell a powerful story online. For Adam, it marks the start of a new chapter—one where his name, his values, and his litigation experience stand front and center for the clients who need him most.
