As expected for such a small population state, the pickings were a bit slim for great looking legal design. That said the Goodsell Quinn site is quite good and would be considered a contender in most States
#1 Goodsell Quinn
Fantastic high end design in my opinion. Site employs custom attorney bios and a lot of great custom photography.
#2 Keane Law Firm
Solid effort. Wide screen design style that rotates between to cityscape pictures. Interactive testimonial section allows visitors to view different client comments.
#3 Bangs McMullen
The large Rapid City firm employs a modern looking design. Each attorney Bio is on the home page and you can mouse over each picture and get some details – helpful in that you don’t have to click through to find out what each attorney does.
#4 Even Law Firm
Good Looking Scorpion site that incorporates some pretty background imagery of the Black Hills
#5 Johnson, Heidepriem and Abdallah
Content rich FindLaw site with good visibility in Sioux Falls.
