Mr. Bain fought a serious case for my son, my son was a juvenile at the time facing some charges that would have certified him as an adult, and put my son behind bars for years. But gratefully Mr. Bain fought a good fight and my son came out with 1 year probation and a misdemeanor charge. My sons truth was gratefully clear with the help of Mr. Bain and his good expertise in law. Best Attorney Ever, you have to trust him with your case and your teen's case.

Eric and his team were extremely careful with our story, details and approach. Eric was passionate about making sure I felt ready for the hearing and all the events leading us to the hearing date. I was so determined to be SOLID and tell the truth of our story. Our family needed this decision to go our way, we stuck together and we were honest in exactly what happened. Eric was extremely supportive, he listened and he worked hard to achieve the outcome we had hoped for. It was a lengthy process, but he never lost sight of details and our case needed to be heard the way it was. I trusted Eric immediately and I knew this would be a battle against a whole department of employees, a organization of professionals that are supposed to keep vulnerable adults safe. I am appalled at the way we were treated, accused and made to feel that we had done something illegal. That was NOT the case, and Eric and his team helped us prove our case. WE WON and we are proud of his dedication to us, and the outcome. Thank you all sincerely, we are so grateful.

Communication was at times delayed,but always clear and showed understanding of my questions. My lawyer was definitely my advocate with the judge. My case went quickly compared to many others I've spoken with. I credit ms. Christel for making the process move so quickly and making it less stressful for me. Their assistant Daizah was diligent in correspondence and keeping me updated. I highly recommend this law firm.

Attorney Jeffrey Dean won my case. Without Jeffrey my family would have been devastated. In the beginning my case looked unwinnable. However, Jeffrey Dean won through his hard work and unwavering commitment to get us through this. He utilized an expert witness to help prove our case and he filed legal briefs. In the end he persuaded the Judge to rule in our favor. In my opinion Jeffrey Dean is the best attorney in Minnesota. Thank you Jeffrey. You changed our lives!

I was referred to Mr. Tamburino by a friend of the family who is also a lawyer. Mr. Tamburino was one of the most efficient and responsive lawyers I got in touch with during my indictment. He was very personable and very friendly. He did not promise something he did not deliver. His services were not the most expensive, I would say he was in the middle of the different quotes received, which was good because a lawyer is very expensive regardless. I was thankful that he was somewhat flexible with payment. He handled my case very well, and helped me with the difficult process. He also appeased my family members and myself during hard times. He is truly a great person on top of being a lawyer.
So why did I not give him five stars?
As soon as my sentencing was over, he disappeared. No follow up, just good luck and see you!
I was recently released from prison and had a few questions to ask him. No reply.
Some issues are left hanging that I wish I could alleviate with his help but with no reply from him, I am now looking for another lawyer. I am disappointed.

We had a great experience working with Satveer Chaudhary on my spouse's visa change of status process from J2 to F1. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and helping us fill out the forms in the best way possible. We could always contact him directly and receive almost immediate responses from him (not an assistant), even after hours and on some weekends! I’m not sure if other lawyers would provide that level of service, especially with no extra charges. We also appreciated how thorough he was, staying in touch not only when the approval letter arrived but also during our trip to India for stamping. We truly appreciate his time and support throughout the process and highly recommend his services.

On December 17, 2021, I was accused of committing a crime I didn't do. I was slammed with 2 counts of Felony charges. I found Jennifer Speas to represent me. When I got to her office to meet her one-on- one, she was already prepared. She had analyzed my case and she was ready for a defense. She made a move to dismiss the charges but I had the most difficult prosecutor at that time so she refused to dismiss. Jenniferr was always ready for Trial because I insisted not to settle for any plea that would ruin my life. Jennifer also brought in another Defense Attorney who is equally good. She didn't charge me for it. She paid him from her retainer. She and the co-counsel were bent on defending me with everything they've got. They kept fighting and fighting for me.
We started the first trial in December 2023 but the judge dismissed the jury on day 3 because the prosecutor kept hiding information from the defense.
We were ready to start the second Trial on August 12, 2024. The new prosecutor dismissed the case on August 8, 2024.
Jennifer is very professional, very knowledgeable and determined to get you the best outcome. I highly recommend Jennifer Speas for your defense any day. Don't think about it. Just hire her.
Thank you,
O.O

When my parents were involved in a life-altering motorcycle accident, our world was turned upside down. As we navigated the aftermath, I interviewed nearly 20 law firms across the Twin Cities, searching for the right team to handle my parents’ personal injury case. From the moment we met Steve Meshbesher and Richard Student from Meshbesher & Associates, it was clear that they were the best choice by far.
Steve and Richard didn’t just talk about caring—they showed it through their actions. They drove an hour and a half after office hours just to meet with my family, a gesture that immediately set them apart. From start to finish, they were committed to doing everything in their power to make our lives easier during one of the most difficult times we’ve ever faced. They were honest, upfront, and treated us with the utmost respect.
What impressed me the most was how they went above and beyond what we expected. Steve and Rich didn’t just see us as clients; they genuinely cared about our well-being. Their dedication, empathy, and tireless efforts gave us peace of mind and confidence that we were in the best hands possible.
If you’re facing a personal injury case, I can’t recommend Steve Meshbesher and Richard Student from Meshbesher & Associates enough. They are the good guys in a world where it often feels like everyone else is against you. They don’t pressure you, they’re never shady, and they’re always there to answer your questions. Even if you’re unsure or just need advice, it’s worth picking up the phone and giving them a call. I am so glad we did.
Thank you, Steve and Richard, for everything you’ve done for my family. We will always be grateful.

For an attorney with such a good reputation according to just about everyone, it was very disappointing to work with him. He did nothing to help my son. All of the prosecutors witnesses were stretching the truth a lot and he very rarely objected to anything. There was no evidence what-so-ever that my son was guilty. I lost all of my retirement plus some, He did not meet with my son except for a few time before the trial and he never said anything positive. If anyone is thinking about hiring him I would give it second thoughts. All of us thought he would be a good attorney, but my son is now in jail waiting for sentencing and I may be dead by the time he gets out. Most of our friends just thought he was boasting to keep moral up. I would say more about it, but I can't because I can't prove it and that's called speculation if I'm correct just like the prosecutors and their witnesses had.

I've been looking for a legal assistance for awhile. Most attorneys are charging too much fees and are not honest. However, finding Mr. Beaulier was one of the best experiences in my life. He charges reasonable fees, is an honest lawyer and responses in timely manner. I asked him to help draft a motion for contempt of court and he did that. I would highly recommend him.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
