Criminal Defense Lawyer Bloomington, MN

One momentary lapse of judgment, or even simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or running with the wrong crowd, and you can find yourself facing criminal charges. Minnesota laws are tough on people accused and charged with crimes, with the possibility of 30 years in prison, with no parole possible, for the most serious offenses. You can’t afford to mess around when your life is on the line. Our Bloomington, MN criminal defense lawyer protects you throughout the criminal justice process, defending your rights and freedom. Call Archambault Criminal Defense today—don’t wait.

Powerful Criminal Defense For All Types Of Charges

Even if you’re charged with a misdemeanor, the penalties can be stiff, including tens of thousands of dollars in fines and up to a year in jail. Depending on the crime, your ability to get a job or financial aid for college may be impacted. Some types of crimes, like fraud or theft, may mean you can’t get a job in any money-handling or financial position.

If you’re facing felony charges, you’re probably scared, wondering who can help you and if anyone will believe your story. When you work with our Bloomington criminal defense attorney, we protect you from the moment you become our client. We guide you in police questioning, ensuring you don’t inadvertently incriminate yourself and advising you on what to say and when to be silent. Our legal team also investigates how the case against you was developed, including examining whether your 4th amendment rights were violated in collecting evidence against you or whether your rights were violated during your arrest.

Most of all, we support you, listen to your story, and develop a strong case for your innocence. We conduct our own investigation into the situation and question all the evidence that the prosecutor has. We’re by your side at every step, from the initial arraignment to any hearings and pre-trial matters. We’re committed to the best possible outcome for your case, whether that means having your charges dropped, being found innocent at trial, or negotiating a great plea deal with the prosecutor.

We’re tough: Our lawyers can tackle even the most difficult cases. And we’re local: We know the local judges and prosecutors and how they think, and we use our insider knowledge to your benefit.

When Your Freedom Is On The Line, Experience Matters

If you’re looking at years or even decades in jail, you can’t afford to take a chance on your defense. Our experienced Bloomington criminal defense lawyer has the tenacity to achieve the best outcome for your criminal charges. We know that you’re worried and wonder how we can help you.

About Me

I never expected to be called to work in criminal defense.  For many years I found work as a prosecutor fulfilling.  But over time that changed.  Rather than making a difference, I was a cog in the machine.  Cases stopped feeling like people and became names on paper.   And I realized that often the true difference makers in the system are the defense attorneys.

I founded Archambault Criminal Defense because I want to use my skills to help people.  Because I want my cases to be about people and not just names on paper.  Because I know I have unique expertise and experience that can truly help people move forward and get on with their lives.
