Out of all the attorneys my husband has hired in the Saint Cloud area in the past, attorney Kenneth Wilson was the most professional, extremely knowledgeable in criminal defense, hard working, pull out all the stops kind of attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone. Big name law firms, we've hired in the past, don't come close to the knowledge, and dedication provided by Attorney Kenneth Wilson. Hands down the best criminal defense attorney in the Saint Cloud area.

Kenneth Wilson was recently my attorney for an ordeal beginning 2 years ago. I was overly anxious, extremely worried and he always reassured me to let him do his job. The most hard working and professional attorney I've ever hired. Extremely satisfied with the end result due to his hard work and criminal defense knowledge. Hands down the #1 criminal defense attorney in the Saint Cloud area. I wish him the best in his career, and if anyone I know ever needs a criminal defense attorney his name is only one they'll need.

I would recommend Ken to anyone who wants to feel like they are being listened to and understood with no judgement. I have never had any experience with being in trouble with the law before, the whole situation was very scary and stressful for me to say the least and Ken made me feel like I made the right choice in picking my atternoy from the minute I set down in his office. He was very understanding and respectful towards me. Ken got my case taken care of quickly and effectively, while also taking a lot of stress off me. I would definitely recommend him!

My work with Ken all started when I hired him back in 2013 for a charge I was facing that could have came with much more serious consequences had I hired the wrong guy in my desperate time of need. But I hired the right guy. Ken was able to negotiate MUCH less jail time, much less fees, and Was able to get me a much lesser conviction that would in turn NOT ruin the entirety of my reputation or my life. As with any felony charge, Firearms rights are taken away for life with sometimes slim chances of ever getting them back. After the successful completion of my probation 1.5 years ago I had my felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor charge, this was just a small part of the plea deal Ken was able to negotiate For me 7 years ago so that I wouldn’t be a life long felon. But even though I am no longer a felon My rights to own and possess a firearm were still hindered. I thought I would never be able to hunt with a rifle again. I reached out to Ken for advice and he paved the way to everything I needed to do to get these essential rights reinstated. I hired Ken in June of 2020 to get my firearm rights reinstated. After petitioning the court we were successful in August of 2020. My rights to own and possess firearms were restored 100% which is a very crucial right to have in the days we are living in. Much of this was due to my good behavior and personal change over the years, but Ken was able to properly write and word the documentation provided to the judge that would be necessary to get the results in my favor. I am now fully reinstated as a citizen with no restrictions. It would not have been possible without the time and effort that Ken put forth for me. I highly recommend hiring Ken to get the outcome you’re looking for.

Ken does great work, has quick and helpful answers through the whole process, and works with and for the client until the case is resolved as well as it can be.
