Practice areas
  1. Criminal defense
    20%
    We handle most criminal cases on a flat fee basis. Because each case is different, after reviewing your case we will tell you up front if we can take the case and what it will cost. You then have the option of hiring us to deal with the case-at-hand. We are straight forward and honest attorneys that want to help you. You will not be charged any fees until all potential fees have been completely and thoroughly explained to you. Remember, your First Consultation is Free. 612-217-0077

  2. DUI and DWI
    20%
    When being charged with a DWI it is important to understand the charges against you. Contact us for your free initial consultation so we can explain the charges, and the science behind the charges. If the tests were inaccurate, you may be charged with a crime you didn't commit. Remember, your First Consultation is Free. 612-217-0077 - [email protected]

  3. Domestic violence
    20%
    If you have been accused of physically or mentally threatening someone close to you, you should contact an experienced domestic violence lawyer. DV lawyers can defend you against false accusations of domestic violence, which might otherwise put you at a disadvantage in divorce or child custody negotiations.

  4. Juvenile law
    20%
    Juvenile law applies to young children and teenagers—usually defined as less than eighteen years old. Minors accused of breaking the law are processed under a juvenile justice system. This system is completely separate from the one used for adults. Juvenile law also carries certain protections that do not apply to adults. A lawyer who specializes in juvenile law will help minors understand the juvenile justice system and present their defense in juvenile court.

  5. Violent crime
    20%
    If you are facing charges on a violent crime, the outcome can change your life. It's important to have someone that can represent you and your interests and explain the ramifications of what might happen at court. Remember, your First Consultation is Free. 612-217-0077 - [email protected]

Worked Hard to get us Results
We called Mr. Ascheman to help us win our dispute case. They told us exactly what to do and how to proceed. Mr. Ascheman went through all of our options and helped us to process the massive amounts of information we were given in a timely manor. The whole process was made easier because Mr. Ascheman told us exactly what to expect and how we were going to proceed. He was with us every step of the way. We really felt like Mr. Ascheman was working hard to get us where we wanted to be. In the end we won our dispute and I couldn’t be happier with all of the hard work that was done by Mr. Ascheman.

Exceptional lawyer
After consulting with multiple lawyers for my case, I chose Landon because he was honest with me and I just knew he’d be a great lawyer. He was very good at communicating and making sure I was aware of how my Case was developing. He was always available for any questions I had. With his persistence, my case was eventually dropped and I am so grateful I chose him to represent me. I would recommend him to family and friends.

10/10 would recommend
Landon was prompt, respectful, honest, and knows his way around a courtroom. My situation was stressful, but Landon was able to calmly explain my situation, and lay out my options very thoroughly to help me make the most sensible decision for myself. I got a DUI almost two years ago, and I still feel compelled to finally write a review because I believe his guidance in that situation helped me moved toward where I am now.

A Lawyer's Point of View
I'm an ethics lawyer in Texas with a son attending college in Minneapolis. After my son was wrongly cited for not wearing a seat belt, I wanted to know how to fight the ticket. Mr. Ascheman was the ONLY attorney who returned my call. He was smart, professional, and kind--the sort of lawyer I'd want to hire.

Respectful
I was arrested for DWI, and Mr. Ascheman was thorough, respectful, and explained much options to me in a way I understood and could use. I was delighted that he fought for my rights and knew when we were offered a gold deal, judge, etc. I would highly recommend him.

Great attorney that gets the job done.
Landon is a professional attorney that truly has the best interest of his clients. He has given me advise in many situations and doesn’t charge unless there is something he can do. He will review your case and let you know if he can help if not there is no charge. He is an attorney that will be honest with you and will only charge if he thinks he can help benefit your case. He is extremely professional and has a lot of experience in his field. Landon has represented me in a couple of cases and he always gets the job done. Thanks to him my life has continue like normal with no sudden changes because his experience and work ethic. I have already recommended him to my friends that needed legal representation. His experience has made him my number one attorney to contact in case of any issues.

Would recommend Landon to anyone.
Landon represented my son in a felony case, he was 18 at the time. He wanted to make sure that he did not have to deal with the felony in the future, so he made sure that he went the proper route to make sure that didnt happen. He was successful. He was always on time, and kept in constant contact with us the entire process, and was very professional and truthful about what our outcome was going to be. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Landon!
