Well-Trusted Criminal Defense Lawyer In Duluth, Minnesota

Everybody commits three felonies a day. While we may not actually believe that, it’s a theory that has been written about, and it underscores the point that there are a number of ways you can face serious trouble because Minnesota law defines what you did as a crime.

The criminal justice system in Minnesota, including Duluth and the surrounding area, can be extremely tough on crimes. Seemingly minor offenses can carry the potential for jail time, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal conviction record. Suppose you have been charged with a DWI (also called DUI or OWI), criminal sexual conduct, domestic assault, typical assault, and drug or controlled substance crimes. In that case, you could face life-changing consequences to your freedom and livelihood.

If you are in that unfortunate position in Duluth, MN, or the surrounding area, including Carlton, Virginia, Hibbing, Two Harbors, Grand Rapids, Grand Marais, or Pine City, do not try and fight your criminal offense by yourself. No matter what type of criminal offense you are accused of, remember that it is just an allegation, and an aggressive Duluth criminal defense and DWI lawyer can help you avoid severe penalties. Your criminal defense lawyer should have the trial experience and skill to defend your freedom.

Duluth, MN criminal defense lawyer Andrew T. Poole has represented thousands of clients charged with a variety of offenses that range from the most serious such as homicide, kidnapping, and criminal sexual conduct, to relatively minor crimes, such as theft and assault. The DWI cases he has handled alone total in the hundreds. He is respected across the region by prosecutors and judges and recognized by clients and peers for his effort and experience.

At Andrew, Bransky, & Poole, P.A., you will not only work extensively with Mr. Poole on your case but also reap the benefits of his highly experienced paralegals. Do not fight your criminal charge alone – find a dedicated team of criminal law advocates to fight for your best result.

A Duluth Criminal Attorney Who Knows How To Get You The Best Possible Outcome

Being arrested or charged with a crime in and around Duluth can be a terrifying experience that makes you feel powerless, primarily if you are held in custody and shuttled from place to place with little explanation. For many, there is little to do but worry about what will happen. Will you end up in jail? Is your boss going to fire you? What is your family going to think? Will they help – or abandon you?

As a Minnesota defense attorney who has successfully dealt with countless criminal cases, Andrew Poole can help you better understand your situation and what options are available to get your charges reduced, dismissed, or dropped. His status as a JAG lawyer in the Army Reserves means that he even knows how to help service members who have been charged.
