- Criminal DefenseI have been consistently recognized by my peers as among the best criminal defense attorneys in Minnesota, having been named a Super Lawyer every year (except one) since 1999. I also help teach other attorneys by frequently speaking at Continuing Legal Education courses. I am also a frequent contributor to Fox 9 news.
- DUI/DWIDuring my time as a public defender, I successfully argued scores of suppression motions, including cases involving illegal search and seizures, Miranda violations, involuntary statements, improper interrogations, lack of competency, and mental illness defense. I gained numerous trial acquittals, including cases involving allegations of attempted homicide, numerous sexual assaults, controlled substances, burglary, theft, and DUI.
- Sex CrimesAlso during that time I defended one of Minnesota’s most infamous alleged serial killers. In this case, alleged to have occurred in 1979, I successfully persuaded the judge to suppress evidence indicating my client had committed five additional homicides and ten sexual assaults. The case was one of the most complex murder cases in state history.
- RobberyWhile in private practice, I have continued to successfully litigate and defend all types of cases, from driving offenses to several first-degree murder cases. My practice expanded to defending cases in Federal Court where I have handled cases involving white collar crime, bank robbery, controlled substances and terrorism. My defense of a young man accused of possessing several Molotov cocktails during the 2008 Republican National Convention was featured in the movie Better this World.
