I represent clients in all types of criminal cases, both at the State and Federal level.  I am licensed to practice in the courts of Minnesota and Wisconsin and have handled matters arising in other states as well.

I have met with considerable success during the course of my career, obtaining acquittals in cases involving Murder, Rape, Narcotics and Driving Under the Influence, to name a few.  I have successfully negotiated favorable resolutions in virtually every type of criminal matter, from Criminal Vehicular Homicide to Armed Bank Robbery to Embezzlement.  Indeed, I have engineered the complete dismissal of charges involving allegations of Rape, Terroristic Threats, Assault, Narcotics and Traffic charges too numerous to list.  I handle all criminal cases, large and small, and shy away from no case, no matter what the subject matter or how difficult the road ahead looks.

One cornerstone of my success is the quality relationship I maintain with my clients.  Clients are treated with integrity and respect for their needs, goals and objectives.  I focus on intelligent representation and understand how important it is to listen to and communicate with my clients.

Another cornerstone of my success is the professional relationship I maintain with the other players in the criminal justice system.   I have gained a well-deserved reputation for being well prepared, honest and diligent in dealing with Judges and Prosecutors, while at the same time providing an aggressive and spirited defense for my clients.  In those cases where a settlement is negotiated, the reputation of one's lawyer can have a significant impact on the ultimate resolution of the case.

My office uses the latest technology and cost-effective methods to provide services in a professional and friendly atmosphere.  My full-time legal assistant, Jan Rangel, has 26 years of experience in the legal field and is an integral part of services I provide.  I also utilize a law clerk and an investigator to assist in the investigation and preparation of cases as the need arises. 

In short, there is no criminal case too large or too small that cannot be handled by my firm. Our steadfast dedication to personalized representation, hard work, and excellence in all our endeavors has led to a track record for outstanding results and to a reputation that is solid and respected in the legal profession.  

Our firm handles legal matters in the following practice areas:
