Listen to Podcast Here:










Hanft Fride Law Firm has long stood as a beacon of legal excellence in Northern Minnesota. Established over a century ago, the firm formally took the name Hanft Fride in 1999, embodying a legacy of professionalism, expertise, and respect. With an unwavering dedication to high-quality legal representation, the firm specializes in business law, commercial finance, employment and labor law, estate planning, family law, litigation, municipal law, and real estate. They concentrate on both transactional and litigation services, while opting out of criminal and complex intellectual property law.


Headquartered in downtown Duluth, Hanft Fride expanded its reach in 2015 with a satellite office in Cloquet, making its services more accessible to clients across the region. The Cloquet office, formerly Newby & Lindgren, Ltd. now operates as part of Hanft Fride’s extensive network, with a dedicated team committed to serving the community. Key team members include Terri, a skilled paralegal; Linda, the receptionist and office assistant; and attorney Jake Baker, who is available on-site every Tuesday and Friday, with additional attorney rotations on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.


Jake Baker, a native of Appleton, Minnesota, focuses his legal practice on estate planning and mediation. His dedication and expertise have earned him the title of Super Lawyer, a designation by his peers awarded to experienced attorneys over 40 with a minimum of ten years in practice. Several of his colleagues at Hanft Fride have also been recognized as Super Lawyers and Rising Stars, exemplifying the firm’s talented attorneys and maintaining a strong foundation for the future.


“We are proud to carry on the Newby and Lindgren tradition of providing high-quality legal services to clients in Northeastern Minnesota,” says Jake Baker. The reception in the Cloquet community has been fantastic, and our Cloquet office is thriving."

With approximately 40 staff members, Hanft Fride boasts a comprehensive team of attorneys, legal counsel, paralegals, and support staff. Their commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality legal services continues to drive their success and growth, ensuring a bright future for clients and the community alike.
