Serving Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Greater Minnesota

Minimize the Punishments

We are an experienced law firm offering fair and practical advice to clients throughout Minnesota from our office in Oakdale. If we can get you freed of all consequences, we certainly will -- but often, our main job is to minimize the punishments you will suffer.

We have successfully defended those wrongfully accused of misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor offenses, such as:

• DUI / DWI and felony drunk driving
• Traffic violations
• Disorderly conduct

In Minnesota, gross misdemeanors can bring a maximum of a year in jail or a $3,000 fine. We work hard to show that our clients do not deserve serious fines and jail sentences, and we know how to make deals to get such serious punishments off the table.

Our criminal defense lawyers provide honest assessments to our criminal defense clients, from the initial consultation through the final verdict. Once we take your case, we work to protect you from beginning to end. We are skillful negotiators who can help you obtain your best plea bargain. If you need to go to court, we are capable trial lawyers with years of experience in Minnesota courts.
