How Kevin Can Help
Kevin has been a criminal lawyer since 1996. The past nine years in a row, he has been designated as a "Super Lawyer," a recognition given to only five percent of the attorneys in the State of Minnesota. He is also a Certified Criminal Law Specialist and is a member of the Minnesota Society of Criminal Justice, which is open to only 50 Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorneys. Kevin also belongs to the National College for DUI Defense, the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
This experience gives Kevin the legal knowledge and skill to make the difference between charges being reduced or dropped and the possibility of serious consequences such as fines, jail, or loss of employment.
Don't Repeat the Mistakes of Others
Unfortunately it is true that the lawyer you choose can have a significant effect on the outcome of a case. A less experienced attorney may miss crucial points of weakness in the prosecution's case. A lawyer unfamiliar with the local courts will not have the relationships with prosecutors and judges necessary to get a favorable deal. Sadly, some lawyers also focus on getting a client to plead guilty quickly in order to take on more cases and earn more quick fees.
Kevin has built his practice on fighting for his clients, so you can be assured that his interests are aligned with yours because his livelihood depends on your success. He has not handled everything that could possibly happen in a case, nor talked to every judge and prosecutor, but has seen enough to understand how to approach every situation and turn it to his client's advantage.
How to Find the Right Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney
In addition to someone with experience, you need to find an attorney who you can trust to fight for your rights. An Internet search is a good way to start collecting information on their experience and expertise. If you were suddenly arrested and did not have a lawyer at the time, it is important to remember that you are under no obligation to continue working with the lawyer who was appointed for your arraignment if you do not think that person is the best attorney for you.
Once you have found a few attorneys that seem to be good potential fits, schedule a free consultation. Things to consider include whether they are trustworthy, whether what they tell you matches up with their own website and other online reviews, and how well you think you will be able to work with them in preparing your case. Be careful of big promises and always be sure to ask about their fees and when they expect payment.
