Fleck, Mather & Strutz, Ltd. has been engaged in the practice of law in Bismarck, North Dakota, since its founding in 1945 by Alvin C. Strutz, later a Chief Justice of the North Dakota Supreme Court, and Clifford Jansonius, who subsequently served as a North Dakota District Judge. In 1948, Ernest R. Fleck joined Mr. Strutz and Mr. Jansonius in the practice of law. Russell R. Mather joined the firm in 1955 and retired in 1996. In 1959, William A. Strutz joined the firm and retired in 2004.
