Twin Cities Criminal Defense Lawyer

As a criminal defense lawyer, I serve those accused of serious offenses; as a personal injury attorney, I represent those who have suffered tragic losses. My clients are vulnerable in every way, and I am absolutely committed to protecting them.

My law firm, based in the Twin Cities, accepts select challenging trial cases, including those involving charges of criminal sexual conduct. Depending on the circumstances, I also represent clients in state and federal courts throughout Minnesota.

If you have a legal problem, your future may depend on finding the right lawyer. I will be happy to provide a free consultation, listen to your story and evaluate your case.

A solo lawyer supported by a legal team

I am a solo attorney – as my client, you know that I will take your call, I will personally interview witnesses, and I will be at your side in court. I will be assisted by my paralegal, Shelly  and have access to top experts, investigators, and other legal professionals to join a legal team tailored to your specific case. In order to provide my clients with the best possible quality of service, I limit my practice to select criminal defense and injury cases.

Representative trials

Protect your rights. Talk to a lawyer now.

The earliest stages of the legal process are critical. In order to preserve your right to the best outcome possible, it is essential that you talk to a lawyer as soon as you realize you have a problem, before making any statement to police or another party. Contact my firm if you would like to arrange a consultation.

Why do I offer a free consultation for criminal defense?

I can only evaluate your case and provide good information if I know you and understand your situation. For that reason, I would like to meet with you before you decide whether to hire me as your lawyer. I will listen to your story, explain what your options are and tell you how I feel I can help. I charge flat fees – if you hire me, you will know the exact cost of representation when you walk out the door. If you are not able to travel, I will meet with you at a convenient place. I have access to Spanish, Hmong and Somali interpreters.
