I used Lommen Law Firm for the creation of a custom NFA firearm trust, and I am extremely pleased with the exceptional service and expertise Brandon provided. The process of filling out the firearm trust was simple and only took a few minutes. His responsiveness, timeliness, and deep understanding of firearms regulations and NFA Firearm Trust were excellent. I highly recommend Lommen Law Firm for NFA Firearm trusts or any other legal issues.

Thank you so much for your wonderful, fast help. I would definitely recommend their legal services and representation!

We hired Nick Thornton, for our son who was facing Class C Felony charges. Nick was professional, kind honest and truly interested in a good outcome for our son. Our son made a plea deal to serve 6 years. Nick was there for him every step of the way. He answered all of our questions too, and explained things to us clearly and in a manner we could easily understand. When it came time for my son’s sentencing hearing, we had held very little hope the sentence would be reduced by more than one year. Nick fought for our son forcefully and proficiently. He presented extra research to the judge which was the key that changed everything! My son’s sentence was cut in half. It meant so much to us that Nick was as pleased for our son as we were. He truly is a fighter for his clients and if ever I had need of a lawyer, I would hire him again.

I first reached out to Nick because of his resume on Avvo. When comparing to other lawyers in the area on this metric, he was a no brainer. For context, I hired him in regards to a drug case. Leading up to my final court date, we had not reached an agreement with the prosecutor and because of this I was facing nine months in jail. Coming into that final day there was a lot of uncertainty, but Nick consistently assured me of his confidence on the law. Although I had my doubts, he came prepared and had certainly done his homework in regards to my specific case. Through extensive argument in court, the judge deemed Nick to be correct and the jail time was reduced to probation. Without him I would likely be writing this review nine months from now. Highly recommend!

I was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly making threats in the workplace. This event never took place, as I was miles away from the office building at the time when this alleged (fictional) event took place. The allegations was made by a clerical staff with whom I have little contact. There were no witnesses. This delusional fabrication was probably orchestrated by my boss who felt too much competition coming from me, and wanted to have unlimited power. Amazingly, DA's Office decided to pursue the case without an iota of material or any other evidence, based solely on the allegation made by a secretary who has many personal and family issues, a very unhappy and bitter person. Nick collected all the facts, interviewed right people in preparation for the trial. He had several consultations with me, and prepared me well for the case. During the trial, Nick was eloquent, forceful but respectful. It was clear very early in the trial that the only outcome possible will be favorable to me. Nick dominated the trial as a lawyer. I would strongly recommend Mr. Nick Thornton as a criminal attorney to anyone in need of such legal assistance. He is a wonderful communicator, open, and never sugarcoating. You will know where you stand every step of the way. A++

I would HIGHLY recommend Trent Barkus again for any future legal issues i may have. He made me feel very comfortable and confident of his abilities throughout the entire process. He always made time to address any concerns I may have had, I never had to wait very long for an answer if he wasn't available immediately.

I never thought I would have to hire an attorney. While anxiously searching to find one, I came across Bolinske Law Firm & I had a feeling that it was the right place to go. Bob Bolinske is friendly and understanding. From the minute he shook my hand, he treated
me as a good person and not a criminal.
I had made a huge mess with my behavior & I have some
mental health/ psychological issues. I was embarrassed to say the least, but he didn't judge me at all. I thought everything was going my way, but suddenly the state turned everything around & they wanted jail & a few other things.
Bob did a wonderful job defending me. He didn't
want to make me look like the victim, but he understood me. Unfortunately my case didn't fully go my way, but he requested a couple more hearings to give it another try. Bob had it covered until the very end.
His office called me back promptly & he traveled to my city as well.
I would recommend him. I was grateful for his professionalism.
I'm glad I spent my money elsewhere...thank you!!

Counselor Brand is a very competent, very professional attorney. After having a free, very thorough initial consultation with him, he immediately got to work on my case, meeting with the prosecutor at my dispositional hearing (which, only two days away, and thanks to his representation, I didn't even have to attend), and that very same day HAD ALL THE CHARGES DISMISSED!
I simply couldn't recommend Scott any more highly. A very thoughtful, intelligent who GETS RESULTS ... fast.
If you're case is in North Dakota or Minnesota, you could not be better served by anyone else than Mr. Brand.

Scott Brand is an honest lawyer who is worth many times more than his retainer. I was not at first not satisfied by the rural lawyers I came across in McKenzie county or that came up by sponsored links on Google. I found Scott by going to the prosecutor's office in another town, Dickinson, and asking for a private criminal lawyer that they would reccomend. At first I was shocked that the reccomendation to the lawyer was all the way in Fargo. I called him and he agreed to meet with me when I was passing through. At first I was a bit uneasy that the office was 6 hours away from the county in which I was facing charges, but this is normal for North Dakota. I am so glad that I went to Fargo instead of responding to the lawyers out there in that corner of North Dakota. My brother and I went to Scott's office one time and he was courteous and more than professional. Because I live in France, all of the contact was done over phone, mail, or e-mail from this point onwards. A week after this meeting, Scott gained access to the bodycam footage of the officer and it was clear that this was a civil rights violation. The prosecutor still rejected this argument, despite the fact that everything was on camera. Scott drafted some sort of long, complex legal document that was based in North Dakota state case history to fight my case. When he actually appeared in court to defend this document, the prosecutor and police officer were still tenacious. The judge threw out the case, however, and issued a written ruling entirely in agreement with Scott. I got back the entirety of the bail money that I paid to the county and more importantly I have my life back. If I had had to go on probation in North Dakota, who knows what type of problems this would have caused me later on. His retainer is totally worth several times over what he charged. He made it so I never had to appear in court in any hearing or as a witness, so that I did not have to return from France, which would have easily cost several thousand dollars per appearance. For a lawyer, Scott is more than honest. He doesn't overpromise. I felt reassured throughout the whole course of several months. I really don't envision that other lawyers might have been able or even dedicated such an amount of hard work to beat the charges. I don't have a great opinion of lawyers in general and I'm not sure that the other lawyers I had consulted would have not just taken my money and then advised me to take a plea deal to finish everything as fast as possible.

Not only did Ashley fight for me, it felt like she put herself in my shoes, to have a full understanding of what I was going through.
It was a tough, ongoing battle and not once did Ashley back down. She stuck to her guns and made sure I was staying as positive as I could be.

As we go through life, things change! I had the pleasure of consulting and hiring Ashley to handle my divorce. Hearing all the horror stories about divorces in my life. Really fully understanding the papers I had been served! Because every case is different To protect my own interests, I retained Ashley! I will I admit I was nervous and a bit uncomfortable, but Ashley walked me through with my situation with an unbiased opinion discussing the pros and cons.
With the information that Ashley provided me we were able to come up with the best solutions that were in my best interest as well as the requests from the opposing attorney. Ashley passionately puts her clients first, as well as there best interest! I would give Ashley a 5 star rating and would suggest you using Ashley for any misfortune or legal matter that may occur in your life!

Brandon is an incredible attorney. I had a frustrating family law case involving multiple (like four!) states total and a prior disastrous judgement. Thankfully, I had a competent attorney on my side and was honest and forthcoming from the beginning. If that's not your plan, how can he defend you adequately? Brandon was able to advocate for my child (and me) and we had exactly the outcome I was hoping for. My child's best interests were clearly fought for by Brandon, and the judge (and my ex's lawyer) even agreed. He thought of so many things that needed to be addressed that I had never even considered. Plus, comparatively, he was incredibly affordable!
Requiring legal assistance is daunting. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent and was still completely lost when I was served with custody papers. Brandon and his staff were able to navigate me through everything and were in constant communication along the way.
While I hope I don't require an attorney any time soon, I 100% will be retaining Brandon again if his services are required.

I retained Jeff Bredahl in a case that I needed an attorney who knew their stuff and was certain and knew they would win my case. From the moment I walked in he told me right away, we got this case. I will never forget how during the 5-6 months during the whole process, Jeff and his team were always there for me. During the process Bredahl and Associates were the only ones there for me. You definitely were not just a client. He also keeps everything short and to the point of what you need. He doesn’t try to just get money out of you like other attorneys. During my trial, which was 3 days long, he stood out and did and AMAZING and outstanding job! After receiving my non guilty verdict, I had numerous jurors come up to me and say whatever you paid for your attorney was well worth it, I’ve never seen an attorney so good and prove their case like he did. Bredahl and Associates know their stuff and will not stop fighting for their clients. They are exactly what an attorney should be! I was referred to Jeff Bredahl by someone else I knew and they said he’s a beast in the courtroom so I trusted them. Not long after being told that I was also told that by numerous other people and eventually got to see for myself. Every penny I paid was well worth it! I now have a custody issue and have came right back to him and hired him again as I know he will get the job done because he is the BEST attorney you will ever find....hands down! I honesty could never thank him and the rest of his team for all they have done for me and for the work they have done and continue to do. If you want the BEST of the BEST and to win any court proceeding; Bredahl and Associates is where you need to go and you will surely be more than happy with the results and treatment you get. I will NEVER hire another attorney again! HUGE THANK YOU to JEFF BREDAHL and his Team!! I PROMISE you will not be disappointed. #teamBREDAHL

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the work and extra steps that Mr. Bredahl, as well as everyone in that office did for me personally and my case. The work ethic and true dedication that Jeff Bredahl and his firm put into making sure my case was taken care of to the best of its possibility was amazing! Jeff always gave 110%. Bredahl and Associates makes you feel like your more than just a client. They make you feel like family, and it all starts with Jeff himself! Jeff is one of a kind and he will always be more than just an attorney to me!

Whole experience went well and no problems. I received a speeding ticket going 100mph on a 75mph road. All of my points were removed, did not have to pay fine, and my hearing was dismissed. Although the deputy did not appear in court everything was still smooth and I got lucky. Overall good attorney and would recommend to anyone with a traffic citation.

Atty Patrick Waters is by far one of the best lawyers based on my firsthand experience when I hired him as my legal counsel. He really takes his time to listen to the client and gives you his knowledge about the case and his expert opinion on it. He doesn't sugarcoat anything so rest assured you will get truthful and unbiased feedbacl. He provided me with answers to my questions. In addition to this, his demeanor was very accommodating and friendly and you don't get that from most lawyers. I felt very at ease the whole time I had lengthy dicussions with him either through the phone or in person. He was a powerhouse and a formidable lawyer during trials. Because of his knowledge and expertise, I won my case which he had already had foresight of even before the verdict came out. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know needing legal counsel on areas that he practices. Best of all, his rates are very affordable.

Even though my case was just a handful of Misdemeanor charges, Amanda went above and beyond what a normal lawyer would do to protect me and get my charges thrown out. Amanda is fully prepared to make the personal sacrifices and stay up all night putting in the work to defend her clients. She worked with me for nearly a year just to get three Misdemeanor charges dropped, so you can rest assured she will do whatever it takes to achieve justice. I recommend her to anyone in the State of North Dakota who needs a lawyer above all the rest. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Amanda's work. She's truly phenomenal.

Aften is an amazing lawyer. We had the best experience with her. We have had multiple lawyers over the years for a custody case and Aften stands head and shoulders above the rest in every way. Three months before we went to trial we decided we needed a new lawyer, and when most lawyers wouldn’t even look at our case with that little time to prepare-Aften jumped in with both feet. She put in countless hours to prepare, traveled for the trial, and was absolutely amazing in the court room. She is kind, understanding, professional, extremely intelligent, and really knows what she’s doing. She was able to bring us peace during a rough time, and she fought really hard for us. I can’t say enough good things about her. I’m forever thankful for Aften!

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.
