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.

Personalized Legal Strategy

Facing criminal charges can subject you to possible jail time, significant fines, and lengthy probation with unyielding conditions.
