Born in Huron, South Dakota, I was introduced to hard work while growing up on the family farm. That hard work developed into a work ethic that I continue to follow in my representation of each client to this day. I received my undergraduate degree from South Dakota State University in 1975, along with my Juris Doctor in 1981 from the University of South Dakota.

KEVIN LOFTUS was born in Sioux City, Iowa. He received his undergraduate degree in biology with a minor in chemistry from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. Mr. Loftus worked in and supervised clinical laboratory services in South Dakota and New York for 14 years before returning to school to seek his Juris Doctor in 2001 from the University of South Dakota.

I graduated from the University of North Dakota in 2009 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. I received my Master of Business Administration from the University of South Dakota in 2013. I graduated with honors from the University of South Dakota School of Law in 2013.

Following law school, I served as law clerk to the Judges in the southern portion of the First Judicial Circuit of South Dakota which is comprised of Bon Homme, Yankton, Clay, and Union Counties.I joined the firm in August of 2014 and became a partner at the firm in January of 2019. As a small town lawyer, my practice is general in nature.

A lifelong resident of South Dakota, I was born in Sioux Falls (the oldest of three boys) and raised by two great parents. I graduated cum laude from Augustana University in three-and-a-half years in January of 2013 and graduated from the University of South Dakota School of Law in May of 2016.

Following graduation from law school, I clerked for the Northern half of the First Judicial Circuit of South Dakota, working for three Circuit Judges and one Magistrate Judge, and covering cases in Aurora, Brule, Buffalo, Charles Mix, Davison, Douglas, Hanson, Hutchinson, and McCook Counties.During that time, I experienced close to a dozen trials (both jury and bench trials) and worked on numerous cases both civil and criminal.
