Minnesota Criminal & DWI Defense

At the Law Offices of Rodd A. Tschida, we have helped hundreds of people just like you who have been charged with a criminal or traffic offense in the State of Minnesota.  If and when you decide to hire our firm, we do everything necessary to achieve a dismissal of the case against you, so that you are not subjected to jail time, heavy fines, job loss, license revocation, vehicle forfeiture, insurance hikes, and the rest.   Due to our limited advertising, most people can afford our fees.  Yet, our services are second to none.  

We have a history of winning cases because of our unmatched work ethic.  We scrutinize all the facts of your case and apply our vast knowledge of Minnesota law to determine all issues relevant to your case.  In fact, other criminal defense lawyers with excellent credentials and a great deal of experience often consult our firm with regard to evidentiary and constitutional issues in DWI and other criminal cases.   Indeed, we find issues worth litigating for most of our clients, at which time we utilize our exceptional research and litigation skills to achieve the result to which you are entitled.  

It is, of course, also true that a number of our clients choose to plead guilty to some type of offense.  If you decide likewise, you can be rest assured of our experience in negotiating favorable plea agreements with countless prosecutors in the metro area and statewide.  We will also capitalize on an opportunity to be sentenced by a judge who has a history of fairness or leniency in cases like yours.        

And, unlike many firms, our clients will have the same skilled attorney throughout the proceedings, so you can remain confident that your attorney is knowledgeable about you and your case.  Our reasonable flat fee will guarantee you unmatched representation all the way through a jury trial, if necessary.  Of course, most of our clients are awarded a dismissal of the charges, or otherwise agree to a beneficial disposition, prior to trial.     

As with any legal case, there may be time deadlines which are running out on you.  For sound, straightforward advice, day or night, call us now for a free phone consultation at  (651) 303-4975.

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR ALL CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS

One thing to remember about the criminal justice system in the United States is that neither the prosecutor nor the Court is there to represent your interests.  Furthermore, in the vast majority of the cases that we win, our clients believed they were guilty.  Importantly, guilt is a legal determination (and often times a tricky one) that can only be made by the Court or a jury.  Finally, the prosecutor must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt with evidence that is admissible in court.  Even seasoned attorneys and judges can disagree about the admissibility of evidence, so you should not assume that the prosecution will be able to use the evidence that you think they have.  Moreover, most cases that we win involve judges dismissing cases before trial due to procedural or constitutional issues. 

Lastly, even if you are found guilty, or you decide to plead guilty, there are literally thousands of different ways that you could be sentenced, depending on the specific judge and your unique circumstances.  Also, there are dispositions available in which even a guilty plea does not result in a criminal conviction or any type of sentence!  You need a skilled defense attorney who knows how to achieve a disposition which meets your needs.
