What should I do if I’m arrested?

Stay calm, do not resist, and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t answer questions without legal counsel, even if you believe you’re innocent. Anything you say can be used against you. Contact a defense attorney as soon as possible so they can start protecting your rights.

What types of criminal cases do you handle?

We handle a wide range of criminal cases, including DUI, drug charges, assault, theft, juvenile crimes, probation violations, and more. Our experience spans both misdemeanor and felony charges, and we serve clients throughout Minneapolis and all of Minnesota.

Will I have to go to trial?

Not always. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or diversion programs. However, if trial is the best option, we’re ready. We prepare thoroughly to fight for you in court, but we also explore all possibilities to avoid unnecessary risks and expenses.

Can charges be dropped or reduced?

Yes, in many cases charges can be reduced or even dismissed depending on the evidence, your record, and how the case is handled. We analyze every detail and work with prosecutors to pursue the best outcome—whether that’s a plea deal, reduction, or dismissal.

How much will criminal defense cost?

Costs depend on the complexity of your case. We offer fair, transparent pricing and explain all costs upfront. In some cases, we offer payment plans. Our goal is to provide effective legal defense without adding to your stress or uncertainty.
