Penn, Kestner & McEwen
(PKM Law)
While I'm the only attorney from my firm based here in North Dakota, I'm far from working alone. I lead the Fargo office of Penn, Kestner & McEwen (PKM Law), a national firm that focuses on truck accident litigation — which means that behind every case I handle, you have the investigative resources, litigation strategy, and trial experience of a firm with offices across the country.
About PKM Law
PKM Law is a national firm with offices in Texas, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mississippi, handling truck accident and complex transportation litigation cases across the country. The firm is known for a particular kind of case-building: identifying liability — and sources of recovery — across the full transportation cycle. That means looking beyond the driver to the trucking company, the freight broker, the leasing company, the maintenance provider, the cargo loader, and any other party in the chain who may bear responsibility. Where many personal injury firms stop at the most obvious defendant, PKM Law is built to find the ones that get missed.
Firm Leadership
PKM Law was founded by Pete Kestner and Eric Penn, both board-certified in Truck Accident Litigation by the National Board of Trial Advocacy — a distinction held by a small number of attorneys nationwide. PKM’s founders are among the top thought leaders on a variety of issues specific to trucking litigation, regularly speaking at national conferences and contributing to industry publications.
A Team Approach
PKM Law brings a team-based approach to every case. Between our offices, the firm includes five experienced attorneys and four paralegals, all focused on truck accident and complex transportation litigation. Your case draws on a depth of collective experience, not just the attention of a single attorney working alone.
Partnering with Lawyers Nationwide
PKM Law also partners with attorneys and firms across the country on complex commercial vehicle cases, through both co-counsel and referral relationships. Many lawyers who don't regularly handle trucking litigation bring PKM Law in to help navigate the industry-specific regulations, technical evidence, and layered liability questions these cases often involve. PKM Law's national reach means the right resources can be brought to your case regardless of where you are.
What This Means for You
When you work with me, you're getting a Fargo attorney who knows this community and works directly with you — backed by a national firm built specifically to handle the kind of complex liability questions that trucking cases often involve. You get local accessibility and national firepower, together.
