Minneapolis Area Criminal Defense Attorney
No Fancy Law Office, Just Solid Legal Advice
Goldfarb & Associates, P.A. has been representing Minnesotans accused of misdemeanors and felonies since 1965. We are knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of a criminal case including cases involving theft, manslaughter, drug possession, drug trafficking or assault.
Your Case is Likely to be Settled Before Trial
It is said that in criminal law, 99 percent of cases settle outside of trial. We use that fact to our clients' advantage. We prepare compelling arguments against the admission of irrelevant or misleading evidence by the prosecution, with the goal of obtaining dismissal of charges for lack of evidence.
The Constitution Protects People Accused of Misdemeanor and Felony Offenses
We also focus at all times on our responsibility to protect our clients' constitutional rights. First, there is the question of how law enforcement officers obtained evidence before drug arrests. If evidence was not properly obtained, we will fight for our clients' right to an outcome of case dismissed. Other key issues that we will investigate are as follows:
- Did the arresting law enforcement officer (police or sheriff) advise the defendant of his or her rights? If this did not happen, you may have been unlawfully arrested.
- Were identification line-ups done properly? Ask a lawyer what might constitute an improper line-up in your case.
- Are the charges correct under the circumstances? You should not be prosecuted for criminal charges that do not fit the facts.
- Are there grounds to delay the prosecution phase while we gather more evidence in support of your innocence?
- Is self-defense a plausible defense in your assault or murder case?
We Are Here to Listen and Help
We make every effort to be approachable for criminal defense clients no matter what their legal needs are. Our lawyer takes the time necessary to ensure that a defendant in a misdemeanor or felony case understands the charges, the procedures ahead, and the routes to a favorable outcome.
