Nationally Recognized Attorney, Author, and Advocate for Agriculture, Business, and Rural Communities

A National Voice in Agricultural Law

Agriculture is not simply a practice area that Cari added later in her legal career. It is part of her upbringing, her identity, and the foundation of the work she has built.

Cari understands that agricultural operations are rarely just businesses. They are family histories, livelihoods, communities, and legacies connected to the land. The decisions farmers, ranchers, landowners, and agribusiness owners make today can affect not only the current operation, but also the generations that will inherit its opportunities and responsibilities.

Through Rincker Law, PLLC and Rincker Ag Law, Cari works with agricultural families, landowners, producers, and rural business owners across the United States. Her work includes farm and ranch succession planning, estate and legacy planning, agricultural mediation, business formation and continuity, contracts, land-related matters, and the resolution of disputes that can threaten both family relationships and agricultural operations.

Her approach combines legal experience with a personal appreciation for the realities of agricultural life. Cari recognizes that questions involving a farm, ranch, or family-owned business often carry emotional weight alongside complex legal and financial considerations. She helps clients address those decisions thoughtfully, communicate more effectively, and create practical plans for the future.

Beyond her client work, Cari is committed to educating and connecting the agricultural community. Through speaking engagements, professional leadership, legal education, writing, and involvement with agricultural organizations, she works to make legal information more accessible to the people responsible for feeding, supporting, and sustaining their communities.

At the heart of Cari’s work is a belief that thoughtful legal planning can do more than protect property or reduce conflict. It can preserve relationships, strengthen rural businesses, and help families pass forward the values and traditions that make their operations meaningful.

This work is guided by a defining philosophy:

Preserving the Farm Legacy℠ for Future Generations

A Personal Note from Cari

Agriculture has always been more than an area of law to me. It is deeply connected to my upbringing, my family, and the values that have shaped the person and attorney I am today.

Through my work in agricultural law, I have had the privilege of helping farmers, ranchers, landowners, agribusinesses, and families navigate some of their most important decisions. I understand that a farm or family-owned business is rarely just an asset on paper. It may represent generations of hard work, personal sacrifice, cherished traditions, and hopes for the future.

As a mother, I think often about the legacy I am building for my own children—not only through my professional accomplishments, but through the example I set, the values I pass down, and the opportunities I work to create for them. That perspective is also at the heart of the work we do at Rincker Law, PLLC.

Our goal is to help other families protect what they have built, prepare thoughtfully for what comes next, and create a legacy that can continue for generations. Whether that means developing a succession plan, protecting farmland, navigating a business transition, resolving a dispute, or planning for the future of a family operation, I am passionate about helping clients move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I am grateful that my work allows me to bring together the things I care about most: law, agriculture, family, service, and legacy.
