Pre-Charge Representation

Preemptive & Proactive Defense

Have you been contacted by the police? Do you expect to be contacted by the police? Do you have reason to believe that you will be facing criminal charges in Minnesota? If so, don't wait or merely hope for the best! Many people do not fully understand the devastation and traumatic consequences that can come with a criminal conviction. With a permanent mark on your criminal record, you may not be able to secure a loan, mortgage, employment, or even educational opportunities. The law has harsh penalties and unforgiving consequences for criminal offenders, which is why it's imperative that you avoid a criminal conviction at all costs.

Serious criminal charges are often a result of lengthy investigations of suspicious criminal activity. We may be able to meet with the district attorney and negotiate a plea bargain before the charges are even filed. It is vital that you understand your situation and exercise your rights before and throughout your criminal proceedings. Criminal defense matters will not wait for you. You must act fast! Law enforcement officials and criminal justice agencies work hard every day in Minnesota to arrest, charge, convict, and punish. They are not in the business to protect your best interests or give you the benefit of the doubt, which is why you must obtain an assertive advocate to fight this battle on your behalf.

If you are investigated, you have the right to:

1. Refuse to speak with the police or investigators
2. Request an attorney to be present when speaking with police
3. Consult with an experienced lawyer
4. Have an attorney speak with police or investigators
5. Enforce your Constitutional rights
