If you are looking for legal representation then North Star is for you. I was set up with James Gremplar and I was amazed by how much he cared for my case. He aggressively fought for me and I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. James was extremely encouraging throughout the case on things I had accomplished during my life in that time and took a genuine interest in things I wanted to get done in future. I can’t thank him enough for his determination, aggressiveness, and his can’t take no approach. Lastly the fee to have him represent me is extremely reasonable seeing as how much he will do for you.

Hands down the BEST lawyers in Minnesota and not only in criminal cases. They are GREAT at criminal but Dan Adkins and James Gempler (and his staff) are great, ethical, hardworking people working for your rights. Mr. Adkins won me 100% custody of my son 7 years ago and got the court to terminate the parental mothers rights in MINNESOTA. I use him for everything from speeding tickets to business stuff. He (Dan) has become a mentor for me. You will never regret hiring this firm.

I am extremely glad I selected North Star for my case. James provided his experienced recommendation and very professional services and along with his partner they did a fantastic job of managing the case all the way to a favorable outcome. I highly recommend their services as it can have a lasting impact on your life.

I would highly recommend using North Star Criminal Defense to represent you. James was highly knowledgeable and communicative about what was going on, what was going to happen, and how to get the best outcome. He takes care of you like you're family and fights for you in the same way. I would refer my friends family members to him if they find themselves in trouble.

North Star is a firm that gets results. From consult to court, James handled every step of my case with the knowhow and aggression you want to see from your defenders. I was facing a 3rd degree DWI, years of probation/ treatment/ license revocation, etc, and the facts on my side seemed improbable at best. James did a good job keeping me informed at every step of the process, but the remarkable thing is I walked away with no DWI charges and no jail time whatsoever. If you want guys that will really go to bat for you, North’s Star is worth every penny.

This is my second review to attest to Northstar's excellent team. I needed some documents regarding my case and they very prompt in response. Kudos to James Gempeler and Afton for excellent response to my queries.

Don't hesitate to call this law firm. James and Dan are very experienced, professional attorney's. I was treated with respect through the whole process. Communication was top notch. Got the best result possible, kept me out of jail, and saved my job! I can't thank James and the North Star team enough!

If you need an attorney I highly recommend North Star Criminal Defense. After initially emailing them I was contacted by an attorney (James Gempler) who was incredibly prompt at contacting me and even offered to make time in his schedule meet with me the same day. The entire staff was helpful, highly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. My attorney was reassuring throughout the whole process and all of his advice was excellent. He seemed legitimately invested in, and was ultimately successful in obtaining the best possible outcome for my case. The fee was reasonable, especially for the quality of the service provided. Overall my recommendation is, if you need legal representation do not hesitate to contact North Star. Update: May 2019 a close friend was arrested and asked me to contact a lawyer on their behalf. Since I was already acquainted with North Star Criminal Defense I contacted Mr. Gempler. Despite it being around 8pm on a weeknight he responded almost immediately. Because the arrest took place in Iowa where he is not certified he could not represent my friend, but he still took the time out of his evening to check if he had any colleagues in the area of the arrest that he could recommend and asked his partner to do so as well. Furthermore he took the time to thoroughly explain what he was able to do, and recommend what courses of action were available even ones that didn’t involve himself. Professionalism and service of such quality are hard to come by. The fact that he remained so helpful despite knowing he would not be able to represent my friend and was unlikely to benefit financially from the conversation he had with me is a testament to his character and is one of the many reasons I would not hesitate to recommend North Star Criminal defense to anyone in need of legal services.

James said sit back and relax you're in good hands. When it came time to court, The outcome I had been hoping for came true and was able to drop my charges. I respect him for being Cost Efficient regarding with the manner of my case.

James worked diligently for desired outcome with my criminal case. He did his research and was able to seek a continuance for dismissal which was exactly what we wanted for my case and I could not be happier. I would recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney.

I worked with James to have my charge reduced to a traffic violation, as a I travel to Canada often for work. He worked diligently to get the outcome we wanted! He was very communicative and kept me in the loop with every step of the process and how my case was moving along. Do not hesitate to work with Northstar - I highly recommend this law firm!
