Todd helped me navigate dealing with a 9 year old DWI that came to haunt me and given I was out of state made it even more challenging. Todd was able to arrange my hearing via Zoom and worked out a very favorable deal for me. I was impressed with Todd's communication he kept me informed and educated as to everything going on. Todd is extremely knowledgeable and is very up to date with case law and will come up with the best possible outcome for you. If you need the best attorney in Minnesota look no further!

Great attorney 10 stars. Knows how to talk and wheel and deal. Never let me down
Review
I hired Todd as my attorney to help me file for an expungement as I was having difficulty getting admitted into college and obtaining a job because of my criminal history. Todd was invested and forthright about my situation. He was continuously reassuring about the circumstances surrounding my case and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. He was easy to get a hold of if I had any concerns and stayed in close contact with me. He worked hard on my behalf to ensure that I was given the second chance I needed to make a better life for myself. Ultimately, we won my case and I was granted the expungement. Now, nothing is holding me back from my aspirations, thanks to the level of care and effort he personally invested into me. I highly recommend Todd to anyone seeking an attorney who truly has your best interest in mind and is going to deliver desired results.
Review
Todd was always very thorough with explaining all possible outcomes. I never felt like I was “just another case”. He was very prompt when returning phone calls and even called me himself just to ask if I had any questions or concerns. Todd saved me from going to jail and from paying thousands in fines. I will always recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer. Can’t express my gratitude. If you decide to consult with Mr. Peterson, I assure you, you won’t be disappointed.

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.
Review
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.
Review
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!
Review
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.

Doug was beyond helpful from start to finish. The court process can be very overwhelming for someone who hasn't experienced it and he handled everything for me.

I cannot recommend Doug enough. He is a lifesaver.

Working with Tom and his team was one of the best decisions I have made. Tom painted a real picture of what needs to be done to get the results we want. He went above and beyond what was required to make sure we got those results.

He is highly respected by his fellow peers, judges and those he faces in court and this I saw first-hand. Thanks Tom!

If you need legal counsel, go to these guys, specifically Ronnie Santana. He is phenomenal and very down to earth. I can’t say that I hope to go through this again, but if I did, he’d be my go to. I got into some trouble, in quite possibly the worst county to get into trouble, and Ronnie worked hard to make sure that I received the best outcome. I am happy with everything and how it all panned out, and I am glad that I chose Ronnie. Nice guy, well informed, hard worker.
Review
Gerald helped a family member through a difficult situation. Gerald, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to work to a positive outcome. Gerald is an incredibly hard working and talented attorney. He is not only devoted to getting you the very best results in your case but he genuinely cares about you as a person. He truly goes above and beyond from beginning to end for you. He always makes himself available day and night to discuss and explain the details of your case or to just give a positive and comforting word. He delivers on every promise he makes. Our situation could not have gone any better. I highly recommend Gerald Miller and his team.
Review
Roy H Gerald has helped me on 2 different occasions. First, Gerald is a highly skilled lawyer. His knowledge and experience in the law and courtroom are truly second to none. His advice is well thought out and his decisions are rock solid. I felt great comfort and total confidence in everything he did. His presence in the courtroom is awesome. It’s very apparent from his interaction with judges, prosecutors and other lawyers that he is highly connected and respected. Second, he is a tireless worker and seems to have endless energy. He is beyond tenacious and simply won’t give up. At times even I thought that we should perhaps back off and settle for less but he assured me that we needed to press on. Clearly this was not in his best interest because it just meant more time and effort on his part. It was apparent that it was my best interest and not his best interest that concerned him. By the way in the end he was right and we prevailed. Third, he truly cares deeply about his clients. He quickly returned all of my phone calls and would meet with me whenever I requested. Even if it was at night or on the weekend. He was honest and professional but even more than that. He cared. He always remained positive and gave me the peace of mind I needed. I didn’t feel like a client, I felt like I was his family and the most important client he had. Gerald thank you seems so inadequate in expressing my deep gratitude for everything that you have done for me. You are truly one of a kind.

They worked with me every step of the way to achieve the outcome I wanted. I highly recommend this law office if you require an attorney.

I can't say enough good things about Groshek Law. From the start, they were tirelessly dedicated to my case. I could depend on their team to prepare and do what it takes to get the result I wanted. They responded quickly to all my questions and requests and properly educated me on my case's available options. This law firm changed my kids and my life for the better, and I can't thank the Groshek team of Katie, Christa, and Misty enough. I would highly recommend Groshek Law to anyone looking for legal representation. I would like to especially thank Katie Claffey! She went above and beyond my expectations and delivered outstanding result in very challenging situation. Thank you Katie!
Review
We were very fortunate to work with Groshek Law, specifically Katie Claffey. Katie did a wonderful job supporting our business when we needed the legal assistance. She was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on the situation and fully supported our needs through a difficult time. Katie's professional approach put our minds at ease. Highly recommend.
Review
The absolute best! I reached out to Katie in the fall of 2020 to help with some legal problems a family member had. Growing up and figuring out the rules,responsibilities and consequences of the adult world can be difficult...even more so if you are non-neurotypical. Through her skill, expertise, dedication, and intellect Katie turned a potentially life-altering moment of poor judgment into a valuable learning experience. Katie was literally the only person who I could talk to directly early on a Sunday morning after calling many defense attorneys. From that point on to the incredibly favorable results of the case, Katie kept us up to date informed, and helped us with excellent communication and her knowledge of the court system and how to get the results we wanted. Anything positive that could ever be said for any attorney, could be said about her. I simply don't have the room to write it all here :-)! Many days I literally think about how Katie helped save my family and I will always be grateful for her for her caring, compassion, and skill.

A professional people to work with. Kind, caring, and had my best interests at heart. Could not be any more appreciative of Groshek Law, and how they helped me through my trying times. I would 100% recommend them to anyone facing any kind of legal issue. They are worth every penny! I highly appreciate Katie Claffey for her high work. It was truly a pleasure working with Groshek Law PA they were able to resolve my matter. All thinks to Katie claffey, ESg for all her help.

Eric does a fantastic job! His specialized expertise, ability to listen and understand a complex situation quickly, excellent communication, and fierce advocacy are what sets him apart from others and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Eric and Anderson Defense to anyone needing effective, high quality representation.
Review
When our family recently found ourselves facing an emergency that required legal representation, we reached out to Eric Anderson and Lexie Stein at Anderson Defense. From the start, Eric and Lexie were responsive, professional, and passionate about defending our rights and providing us inimitable legal representation. Every step of the way, Eric provided us thoughtful, knowledgeable counsel and was very attuned to our lack of experience navigating the county system and even our emotional needs during a difficult time for our family. If you are looking for competent, professional attorneys who understand and can help you navigate complex legal situations, Eric and Lexie are the best choices. Thank you, Anderson Defense, for putting our family first.
Review
I can not say enough great things about the Anderson Defense team. They listen, genuinely care, are professional, very responsive, and willing to be there for you in your time of need. I had a different lawyer to start with and when it became clear that her team was not equipped to handle my case, I researched around and found the Anderson Defense team. I was quickly relieved after the first conversation with Eric because he understood the situation and knew who the people on the other side were. They were able to find out more, what was really going on in one week, than my former attorney was able to gather in 4 months. Don't wait! Don't hesitate! Always choose the Anderson Defense team! Make sure your lawyers know all the players involved! It made all the difference for me and I know it will for you too.
Review
I would highly recommend them. Especially for a CHIPS case. My daughter went from being told to prepare to lose her kids with less than a 40% chance to keep them... to case closed within 3 months. They were quick to understand the case even though they came in toward the end. Our previous lawyer could not get a hearing for months into the future but Eric and Lexie were able to get us in front of the judge within 2 weeks of hiring them. They care about their clients. Worth the money.
Review
They saved my kids from potentially being taken away from their mother.. The difference between them and our previous lawyer was tremendous!! If we would've stuck with our old lawyer, I truly believe that my newborn would not be snuggling with her mom right now. Expensive but well worth money! (Especially since a flat rate is probably much cheaper than others hourly anyways.) I would highly recommend them to anyone with a CHIPS case. Especially if you may be facing termination! My case went from literally them saying they were filing a petition to terminate my parental rights (which ended up never even happening) to my case being closed and me having my kids back within like 3 months. Thank you so much for everything!
