Not Always Minnesota Nice

One mistake or bad decision can lead to criminal charges. But, this doesn't mean you are a criminal. North Star Criminal Defense understands this. And this is why we work tirelessly, fighting for your rights while guiding you through the legal process. We are Not Always Minnesota Nice when using our nearly 30 combined years of experience to your benefit. We are trial attorneys first and foremost. Being comfortable taking any case to trial allows us to be calculated and strategic in both when and how we are aggressive during pre-trial litigation and plea negotiations. And through this approach, we routinely get favorable results for our clients.

Personalized Legal Strategy

Facing criminal charges can subject you to possible jail time, significant fines, and lengthy probation with unyielding conditions. You also face collateral consequences, such as losing your driver's license, and possibly your job or professional license. Understanding these consequences, North Star Criminal Defense takes the time to develop a personalized legal strategy for each client. To us, you are more than just another file. And that is why we take the extra time to learn about you and what is at stake. We then develop and implement a personalized legal strategy that will serve your needs best.
