A Clearer Record. A Fresh Start.
A criminal record can continue to affect your life long after the case itself has ended, creating obstacles to employment, housing and other opportunities. Minnesota’s expungement laws may allow you to limit public access to that record and move forward with greater confidence. Our attorneys can determine whether you qualify, explain what expungement can accomplish and guide you through every step of the process.

A DWI Charge Does Not Have to Define Your Future
A DWI arrest can threaten your driver’s license, freedom, employment and reputation—but an arrest is not a conviction. Minnesota DWI cases involve both criminal charges and time-sensitive driver’s license issues, making it important to act quickly. Our attorneys will examine the traffic stop, testing procedures and evidence against you, explain your options and build a defense focused on protecting your future.

Not Always
Minnesota Nice
Criminal defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges work within the same court system every day. They know one another, understand the local process and are expected to deal with each other professionally. Those relationships matter. Knowing when to have a productive conversation, when to negotiate and how to present a reasonable solution can create opportunities that unnecessary hostility may destroy.
But professional does not mean passive—and there is a point when playing nice stops serving the client. When the prosecution will not offer a fair resolution, when the evidence does not support the charge or when your rights have been violated, North Star Criminal Defense is prepared to leave diplomacy behind and fight aggressively for the best possible outcome. The strategy should always serve you, not preserve someone else’s comfort.
We Don’t Wait for the Case to Come Together.
We Take Control of It.
