Our Criminal Defense Firm
We have over 10 years of experience defending Twin Cities' clients against criminal charges. At our small firm, you will always receive the personal attention you need. We are available around the clock, and are dedicated to meeting your goals.
Non-U.S. citizens living in the Twin Cities or state of Minnesota do have rights. If you or a loved one is facing criminal charges, contact us for a free consultation. Se habla español.
We represent clients who have been charged with any misdemeanor or felony like DWI or Domestic Assault in state and federal courts.
Federal Criminal Defense
The stakes are higher in federal cases than in state cases. If you have been charged with a federal crime such as a drug crime, tax evasion, embezzlement or mortgage fraud, we will negotiate with the prosecution to have the charges dismissed or your sentence lowered.
Drug Crimes
A conviction of drug crimes such as possession, sale or manufacturing of illegal substances can have serious consequences. If you are facing drug charges, we will work closely with you to understand your individual needs and protect your rights.
If the investigators did not follow the correct procedures for searching your property and seizing evidence, it may be possible to have that evidence dismissed. If you have not taken the drugs you are accused of, a hair strand test may be used as evidence of your innocence.
If necessary, we will help you get a chemical dependency evaluation and suggest treatment programs that could help you get a reduced sentence or probation.
Sex Crimes
Being convicted of a sex crime such as rape, incest or child pornography will affect the rest of your life. You will face time in jail as well as be required to register as a sex offender, resulting in life long stigma and restrictions on where you can live.
We have extensive experience working with clients who have been accused of criminal sexual conduct, and we will dedicate ourselves to obtaining a positive result in your case.
You have the right to remain silent. Don't talk to anyone about your case without your lawyer present.
Call 651-292-9802 or e-mail us to schedule a free initial consultation. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 651-341-8888. For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
