Cattle Lawyers
Making Free Enterprise Fair
People in the business know that producing beef is tough. Cattle markets are highly concentrated. Producers have big challenges when it is time to go to market. Markets require competition to thrive. This only happens when the competition is fair and "free enterprise" means a fair market, responsibly regulated against abuse by big players. Big business does not like this message. It prefers to have its own way with producers. Big packers, big banks, big chainstores… they do not pick on someone their own size!
So, cattle producers, and others in agriculture need us. Why? We work hard to make the law level the field of competition, reduce the big company advantage, and get to fairness. At Domina Law Group, we help victims of the bad behaviors by others… large and small… who affect the cattle industry. We fight market abusers, bad feed producers, negligent consultants or professionals, and crooks who lie, cheat or steal to beat our clients out of what they are owed, or own.
Cattle and livestock law can be highly complex. From banking complexities, to packinghouse regulations, and from interstate, or international transportation, to product recalls, we handle cases few know how to handle.
We speak the language.
Whether it's cattle, cows, or bulls, yearlings, springers or calves, we can figure it out. Try that out on your average city lawyer. And, while you are making your decision, pass the steak sauce.

Trial Lawyers With Branding, and Slaughter Experience
Domina Law Group handled the nation's biggest certified class action lawsuit against a packer. We won a $1.2 Billion verdict. And the court took it away. But, we made our point. Here are some cattle cases we ran through the chute:
- False price reporting
- Failure to deliver
- Nutrition
- Breach of contract
- Packer antitrust
- Fraud and deceit
- Bankruptcy
- Negligence
Since we ran into cattlemen from Kansas, Montana and Idaho holding hot checks for cattle shipped away, nearly 40 years ago, we have stared down dozens of people who tried to take our cattle clients. We usually win. Not always of course. But, we put up a tenacious, but smart, fight ! We do not turn away cases because they are complicated. We thrive on them.
Can We Help?
We like to help people in agriculture. We come from agriculture here. Its importance requires more than mere lip service. Agriculture commands our attention. One goal among many is to make an intricate legal system work for producers. We particularly enjoy leveling the playing field against bullies.
Our firm's philosophy is distinct. We reason differently; we work differently and represent differently. In this way, we make a difference. Domina Law Group accomplishes this with professionalism, integrity, and hard work. We make the merits work to your advantage, by staying away from under the wheels of a large or corrupt outfit that wants to harm you.
