Responsive to all my questions, and successful in my expungement.

North Star Criminal Defense was amazing!! I met and worked with both James and Dan and both worked diligently to get the best possible outcome. They are knowledgeable and their legal assistant Afton was great with communication and updates. I could not be happier with how everything turned out and if you are in legal trouble you cannot go wrong with North Star to defend you!!

James was the best out there helped me out was on point with everything with my case couldn’t be more happier 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thanks James

Never been in the system and being an immigrant with permanent residency pending for approval. I landed in problems all because of myself and caused angst, anxiety, embarrassment for all of my family here and my parents abroad. I reached out to the best known attorney and he calmed me and my spouse that he will get us out of the trouble and avoid any hinderance in our green card processing. But I did not use to hear back from him and we were in a contract with him. After some follow ups the attorney told me that I can fire him any time, I do deserve what I did and he basically backtracked himself. He was too high in his head that he is the best but without any communication to me, my anxiety level was very high. So I had no other option but to fire him. I started reading reviews on internet and luckily found Mr James Gempler with very positive and helpful reviews and his rate of success being very high. I asked for his time and he took out time to meet me in person free of charge in the same week. he is very calm, supportive, understanding and upfront with what he can try to achieve and does his best. He helped articulate the situation and helped us not to get in immigration deportation proceedings and many cascading things could have happened with our life turned upside down. Being an immigrant domestic violence is a criminal offense and is a direct deportation from ICE. I did not even know what was domestic violence other than me raising hand someone and hurting them. In this case I caused fear to my family and others and Mr James led my case and I was promptly informed for what I should do and his continued belief on what he could do. So now when I look back in time, I can not thank enough to Mr James and his assistants for helping me get through the most entangling crisis of my life. He helped me even with immigration attorney with referral who was also splendid in her (Shirlene) work. I see Mr James as a strong human being who in my case shielded me from adverse consequences and helped get me back again to life. I would without a doubt ask anyone who needs help reach out to him. He is open hearted and very reasonable in his contract.

Mr. Gempler is the epitome of an experienced criminal defense attorney. James is very thorough and reviews all details of your case with you. He knows the law exceptionally well and has excellent rapport with other attorneys and the courts. Place your trust in him and he will absolutely obtain the best result for your case. With his meticulous strategy, and knowledge of the law, my case ended favorably. I would absolutely recommend Northstar Criminal Defense to anyone who finds themselves in need of criminal defense.

I have known the attorneys at North Star Criminal Defense for years and they are of the highest quality. I trust them to provide a vigorous defense for their clients and work to hard to ensure a favorable outcome.

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.
