Jason answered all my questions and gave professional guidance quickly, accurately and sensitively to the subject matter. He appeared at ease in discussion and did not rush the conversation. What he didn't have knowledge of, because it involved laws within another state, he quickly researched and gave some guidance on as to how to go forward from there. He gave perspective from both sides of the issue, enlightening me to what the other party's method and goals would be regarding the dispute in question. Jason returned my call in a timely manner and left the conversation open to my return calls for further advisement. I highly recommend Jason at Kohlmeyer Hagen Law Office!

Jason is great to work with! He explains the situation and helps you to understand the what the process is. Made the process much smoother. Thank you Jason and team:)

I have retained Kohlmeyer Hagen Law Office on two occasions and was very pleased with both outcomes. They were very professional, and knowledgeable. Their office made you feel like you retained the right Law firm. I would definitely retain their office again.

These guys were great answered my questions with no charge! Give them a call

"Big City" quality with small town values! Everyone will need a good lawyer sooner or later, and I for one am so thankful to have had Kohlmeyer-Hagen in my corner when I needed them. Outstanding service, professional approach, and tremendous results were what I expected (it is what I was paying for, after all). What I didn't expect was how Jason and Tom and the entire team really cared about me and my family on a personal level. Thanks a million guys.

I hired Attorney Justin Braulick for a criminal gross misdemeanor case. He was very professional and answered all my questions. Also he helped my case come to the best possible outcome. I feel Justin helped me make good decisions and I believe my life will be better because of the help he gave me. I definently would hire him again, but I hope it would dbe under better circumstances.

Justin Braulick is a professional. He has helped me immensely and I have nothing but gratitude and respect for Justin. I would recommend Heller & Thyen Law Firm to anyone who is in need of legal advice and assistance. They truly are wonderful and caring people!

I always felt confident walking into the court room with Justin, he let me know what was happening and what I could expect. There were no surprises. Justin made me feel less stressed after talking with him and he pointed me in the right direction from the beginning. I would highly recommend Justin.

Justin helped a close family member and we are very pleased with the outcome. He was a valuable resource initially as well when we were unsure which way to turn or how to proceed. He let us know the options available and gave us time to process and make the right decisions. Very knowledgable and put us at ease through the process.

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.

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

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.

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.

Good Old Boys member....find a different lawyer if you want someone to actually fight for your due process rights.

I hired Martin earlier this summer to handle a moving infraction involving a school bus with its stop arm out. He was professional and responsive! He talked me through my options and what the likely outcome would be before I even hired him. It helped to put my mind at ease during a really stressful time in my life. He got me the best possible outcome with my case.(better than I had expected!) I would highly recommend him.

Was very helpful with my issues.

Unsophisticated and lacks experience. I wouldn’t recommend!

Mr Azarian is the Best attorney. Highly Recommend. Thank you so much.

Martin Is A LIFE & CAREER Savior. Hands Down, Hiring Martin will be one of my best decisions I will ever make. A Shoplifting Case which put my entire career on the line as I am not a U.S Citizen. With No hope I approached Martin if he can find a way to get me out of this. My case was already dismissed by then. He reviewed my case for free and told me what could be done and the options I have. He was Practical and told me beforehand that there is a bit of chance and he would try for it. He also co-ordinated with my Immigration lawyer to get a complete understanding of my situation. He got all the details required and laid down a very effective plan to get the outcome we wanted. He was very responsive in a timely manner and kept me sending the updates without me not even calling or texting him for updates. He is patient and is always willing to go that extra mile for his clients. The Prosecutors and Judges like him and are always pleased to see him. He as a Good name within the judicial circle.

We recently hired Mr. Bussa all the way from Eastern NC, to handle some legal issues one of our employees had in MN. For a VERY reasonable retainer, and within 24 hours of making contact, Anthony began working on his case. He has maintained close contact with us- and while I'm not convinced he ever sleeps or stops working- he has been readily available and easy to get in touch with. He promptly and thoroughly answers questions and concerns, with quick responses through email, text and phone calls. He's gone above and beyond, and brings results we didn't even think we're possible. You cannot find a better attorney. My only complaint is that he live in MN instead of NC and cannot be my personal attorney!

I could not recommend Anthony more. He is great at his job and will do whatever he can to get you the best deal. I highly suggest that if you need a lawyer you go to him. He is very professional and straight forward, he knows what he’s talking about and will help you every step of the way.

Anthony is the attorney you want! From the first time talking with him, he told me what to expect regarding the situation I was in. He took all the stress away and ensured me that my life wasn’t over and that he would have a defense that would make our case run smoothly and successful. I am very happy with the outcome he was able to pull off for me. Definitely can tell that Anthony is a hard working, smart and caring guy. Anthony made the process super easily as well, I think all I did was sign some paperwork and he handled all the rest! Really made me feel a thousand times better about the situation I was in! :)

Anthony is the go-to attorney in the area! He is very professional and great to work with. He is honest, upfront, and definitely knows what he is doing. I definitely recommend him!

Bussa is very good at helping clients. With the courts you can’t really make any guarantees but Tony stands by his clients and goes for the best possible results. He will walk you through each step and let you know what you can expect.

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. He explained everything thoroughly in ways that it's easy to understand, he got my fines SIGNIFICANTLY reduced, and he got me pointed in all the right directions in terms of tests and forms that I needed fill out. I cannot recommend Doug enough. He is a lifesaver.

Doug has been great to work with. I would highly recommend his services to my friends and family. He's very responsive and professional during all our meetings and interaction. I would not hesitate to use again in the future.

Doug was super efficient and helpful in explaining the process of my experience. Very up-front and honest. Gave me a realistic idea of what to expect and then exceeded all expectations. Very professional and able to help break down the complications of the process so that i never felt unable to keep up with proceedings

I just wanted to thank Doug for providing a very helpful consultation over the phone. If I'm ever in need of a personal attorney in Minnesota I won't hesitate to reach out to him again.

Doug Carlson provided exceptional service, used his expertise to bring about a satisfactory result to my issue. He worked diligently to negotiate with other parties to bring a favorable resolution.

Zach was the best at helping me understand the process and providing legal advice. He was able to calm my nerves and anxiety and very simply explain what I needed to know and what I needed to do. He took a very difficult and embarrassing situation for me and negotiated a plea to my satisfaction. He asked me to "trust him". I did and he did not disappoint. Not only is Zach my lawyer but I know consider him a friend. Thanks Halberg Criminal Defense and Zach Graham!

Zach, Thanks for your professionalism and getting a timely result for the best possible outcome for my offense. You made me feel at ease through the legal process. If I ever need a criminal lawyer again, you and you company are on the top of my list.

My experience working with the firm and in particular Zach Graham was nothing short of spectacular. I had three expungement cases from 2012 in three different counties. From our first conversation and to final sound of the gavel, this entire group met my needs effectively, professionally and timely. There were so many questions, logistics, paperwork and what started out as a rat's nest of trouble for me, Zach turned it all into a masterpiece. He was prepared for each one of my court dates, communicated my cases with the utmost professionalism and maintained a high level of integrity. I felt like he took my case personally and worked on it with passion. Furthermore he was respected by his peers, the prosecution, DA and the Judge to fullest in the Court Room. I knew I had hired the right guy. An added bonus.....the cost of service was lower than 4 other quotes I received. Can't beat that right?? The best representation for the lowest cost. Thank you Zach and his team. Go Packers!!

Debbie Lang did an amazing job representing our minor son. She is an exceptional lawyer who is knowledgeable, organized and extremely detail oriented. From the minute the first call was made to Debbie we knew that we wanted her to represent our son. Her communication skills were exceptional. She answered all of our questions in away that we could understand. After hiring Debbie she responded immediately to every phone call, email and text. We were never left waiting and wondering. She always took the time to explain each step of the court process, in detail and multiple times, so we clearly understood. She was compassionate and kind and was a huge support to our family during an incredible difficult time. In the court room her legal and communication skills were amazing. I always felt that she was very knowledgeable and in full control. We would recommend Debbie to anyone that needs an exceptional lawyer. Our family is very grateful to Debbie!!!

When we needed Zach Graham to help with a never ending court process and probation issues he was there. Zach went out of his way for us we are appreciative of him through a pandemic in the world and our lives he definitely won’t be forgotten! He was always keeping us updated and pushing for a result the ambitious actions from him definitely saved us from more unnecessary stress in our lives. We are seeing the light at the end of a 3 year long tunnel and I owe this blessing to Zach thank you so much.
