  • Felonies    Felony charges are the most serious crime you can be charged with and you should not take this lightly. If convicted, the record of the felony will stay with you for life.
  • Misdemeanors  If you or a loved one has been charged with a misdemeanor, it can be overwhelming and frightening. Trust one of our top criminal lawyers to protect your rights.
  • Drug and Property Crimes  Even though these crimes are treated less severely than felonies, prosecutors and law enforcement in our states are still aggressive when it comes to simple drug and property crime cases.
  • DUI/DWI and Administrative Hearings  DUI/DWI cases have two parts: a civil part and a criminal part.  Civil:  Departments of Transportation (DOT) will attempt to revoke or suspend your driving privileges. Criminal: is the part of the case that can result in penalties such as a criminal record, fines, jail time, and court costs. Consider hiring one of our Minnesota and North Dakota DUI attorneys to help. You likely realize how important it is to hire an experienced DUI/DWI lawyer and we are well known for outstanding defense for our clients.
  • Protection Orders  A protection order or a restraining order filed against you can severely disrupt your life. If you need a protective order for you or your family, they can help provide distance and space when needed.
  • Juvenile Matters  The juvenile justice system functions differently than the regular criminal justice system. The juvenile justice system seeks to rehabilitate the convicted instead of punishing them.
  • Theft charges
  • Assaults and terrorizing
  • Minors in possession of alcohol charges
