In South Dakota’s Indian Country, access to quality health care has been a real challenge, said Tim Purdon, a Robins Kaplan partner and former U.S. attorney in North Dakota.

The suit was a big part of Robins Kaplan’s 2016 pro bono efforts on behalf of American Indians spearheaded by Purdon and Brendan Johnson, a former U.S. attorney in South Dakota, both of whom joined the firm in March 2015.
