Criminal Defense

When you have any contact with police or other law enforcement officers, your basic rights as a citizen and potentially your freedom are at stake.  Aside from the stress of the moment and the very real possibility of paying fines and/or serving jail time, any criminal charges filed against you can have a devastating effect on your future.  Your ability to further your education, obtain employment or housing, or to hunt and own firearms can be severely affected by any criminal charges or convictions.

If you are pulled over while driving or contacted in any other way by a law enforcement officer, you are at a disadvantage if you do not have the advice of an experienced and knowledgeable defense attorney.  At Fluegel Law Firm, we can advise you and help guide you through any situation involving an accusation of criminal conduct.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE EXPERTISE

The phrase “anything you say can be used against you” is very true!  When you speak to a law enforcement officer, you are dealing with someone who has been specifically trained in interrogation techniques and whose job it is to draw out information from witnesses, suspects, or other “persons of interest”.  You need sound advice and guidance from an attorney whose job it is to safeguard your rights and handle these very serious matters.  Before you speak with any law enforcement officer, prosecuting attorney, or anyone else about your situation, contact Fluegel Law Firm to speak with Benjamin J. Colburn about any traffic or criminal matter.  Mr. Colburn represents clients in criminal or traffic matters throughout the State of Minnesota save and except Dakota County where other attorneys at the Firm have a long history of representing municipal clients.
