Minnesota Criminal Defense Lawyer
| If you have been charged with a crime, you are entitled to the assistance of counsel. According to the United States Constitution, Amendment VI, a criminal defendant has rights:
- to a . . . trial, by an impartial jury - to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation - to be confronted with the witnesses against him - to have . . . witnesses in his favor - and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense. |
At Loraas & Loraas we recognize that the role of a criminal defense trial attorney is to vigorously exercise your constitutional rights for you. This means that we use methods, procedures and trial tactics which increase the chance of success. With the assistance of various private investigators and expert witnesses, we are confident that even in the most serious case we can match the resources of the prosecutor - - and enhance the probability of winning.
We do all in our powers within the strictures of ethics to defend our clients so that our clients are acquitted. The adversarial process allows us to challenge the State’s theories, physical evidence and witnesses under the watchful eye of the judge so that a just verdict is reached.
At Loraas & Loraas we hold the view that the practice of law, especially the practice of criminal defense trial law, is a time-honored profession, rather than merely a market driven business. This means that we are constantly taking steps to increase our thoroughness and preparation; to argue when warranted for a change or extension of existing law; to expedite litigation when litigation is in the best interests of the client; and to require proof of every element of a crime. From the time a client enters our office, through jury trial, and appeal, if necessary, we put into practice the view that the law is a caring profession.
We represent clients from all walks of life. A large portion of our clients are executives and professionals. We also recognize our duty to make legal services available to the less fortunate.
This does not create an attorney-client relationship. Confidential or time-sensitive information should not be sent through this form. I have read and understand the disclaimer.
