Minnesota Criminal Law Defense Attorneys
If not handled properly, a relatively minor criminal charge can derail a career, a marriage or a life. At Thomsen & Nybeck in Edina, Minnesota, our lawyers are dedicated to resolving criminal charges quietly, with the goal of minimizing the effect of the charge on your life.
Our criminal defense lawyers have the experience to handle traffic and criminal offenses such as speeding tickets, juvenile offenses, driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while impaired (DWI), criminal vehicular operation, theft, shoplifting, lewd conduct, assault, weapons charges, domestic violence, protection orders and drug possession. We also handle a wide variety of serious state and federal felony charges. Moreover, once a case is over we can assist you in an expungement proceeding to remove your records form public view or petition the court for restoration of your firearms privileges.
When faced with a criminal or traffic charge, many Minnesotans are embarrassed and quickly offer guilty or no-contest pleas in hopes of making the case go away. However, pleading guilty to any misdemeanor or felony offense will result not only in unwanted publicity in your local newspaper, but also in a criminal record.
Our lawyers bring a unique perspective to criminal defense. All of our criminal defense lawyers have experience as prosecutors in a wide variety of venues. This experience helps us negotiate with other prosecutors for our clients. We understand what the prosecution's concerns are and what their limits are, and we believe this helps us negotiate favorable options for our clients.
If you have not yet been charged with a criminal offense but are concerned that one may be forthcoming, we encourage you to contact us to talk about strategic decisions that may be needed in a precharging status. If you have already been charged with a criminal offense, it will be helpful for our firm to have the initial charging paperwork so that we know the potential consequences you face.
In addition to criminal law proceedings, our lawyers represent clients at civil administrative proceedings, such as school expulsions, driver's license revocations and professional licensing actions.
