Reviews

James is a great lawyer. He is smart, cares of about his clients and is not afraid to put in the work.

I was being charged for a gross misdemeanor for a firearm charge. I went off these guys based on their reviews, i should’ve looked at their specialties. They Are probably excellent lawyers, but not for what My case was for. In the beginning, they sold themselves as they would fight and do anything they could for me, so i felt fairly confident that this charge would get dropped. After i paid them and left the office, i didn't get any communication about the case or how it was going. I would be the one who would have to reach out and ask for details. They sold me on how good they were and that they are so confident my charge will get dropped and what not. As the case went on, it was evident to me that, that was not going to happen and There was a strong chance I would lose my case. This case was going nowhere and Instead of wasting more of my time appearing in court, i just took the plea deal they offered. I was being charged with a gross misdemeanor, i took the plea deal and was charged with a gross misdemeanor. What a deal! (Sarcastic). I should've just went with a public defender if i knew these guys weren’t that good in the area i was being charged in. Mostly my fault for not looking more into these guys, but still, i feel they didn’t “fight” as hard as they claim they do.

I hired James Gempeler because of his attitude, confidence, and experience. James and the staff at Northstar always delivered. Even with many covid delays, they never faltered despite the additional costs. Ultimately we were victorious and got the result we wanted. You don't need to look any further for a defense attorney.

Mr. Gempeler and team at North Star Criminal Defense were always quick to respond to any questions that I had and were always available. I never felt I was fighting my case alone. Mr. Gempeler  explained every step and kept me well informed the whole time. They made me feel like a human being and not just a number. Thank you so much for everything you did for me. I trully appreciate how hard you fought for me.

North Star Criminal Defense is great. Everything was done on time, and I felt confident in their ability to get the outcome they said was possible.

The lawyers/attorneys at this law firm are extremely experienced! As well, very knowledgeable about criminal law. I would highly recommend this law firm for Criminal matters.

Phenomenal legal team! Highly recommend!!

Dan helped me out with questions and concerns I had, even late at night! Great staff and support quality.

Very comforting company. Great to work with when facing criminal conviction.

I sought legal counsel from James Gempler at North Star Criminal Defense in a 5th Degree Assault case which occurred in Carver Cty., MN. He responded in a highly professional manner, listened to my testimony of the incident and agreed to represent me. The entire staff has been extremely attentive given the fact that we just went to trial 1-1/2 yrs. after the incident due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Mr. Gempler was extraordinary in creating a defense strategy which clearly showed there was reasonable doubt of this charge to a jury of my peers and they found me Not Guilty. "A picture is more than 1,000 words" which was the theme of my case. The facts proved positive in my favor and Mr. Gempler painted a clear and concise picture that translated to the jury and they ruled in my favor. I'm so grateful for making the right choice and hope you do too. I highly recommend Mr. James Gempler and the team at North Star Criminal Defense should you require legal representation. 10 STARS!
