DUI Representation
I hired Coley for representation following a DUI. Immediately after hiring Coley he had recommendations to follow preceding the initial court appearance. Because of these steps and his vast knowledge he was able to get me a more than favorable outcome.
Coley was immediately responsive, easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to (wins the most points in my book) and never did it seem like he had any doubt in his mind the route that we were going to take. I would recommend him to anyone.

Willing to pull out all the stops. A lawyer for life.
Let me be clear, I don't normally leave reviews for anything or anyone but for Coley, I'll make an exception. It was clear from day one that he would use everything at his disposal to make your life easier. He is well respected in the legal community, he knows which judges favorable and which should be avoided, and above all else, he makes sure you never feel like your alone in your fight. Be it phone calls, emails, or texts, he always promptly responded to any questions or concerns I had. I don't just mean up until your court date either, I mean literal YEARS after the fact.
Personality wise, he is just an immensely pleasant human being. Outside the courtroom, talking with him is like talking with an old friend, cracking jokes and telling stories. Inside the courtroom, he's a hardened professional, ready to tackle whatever is thrown your way.
All that is well and good, but the proof is in the pudding, and in my case, he worked out a deal that got one of my charges completely dropped, and the other greatly reduced in severity. Not to mention a 3rd unrelated charge that he took on, at no additional cost despite the initial paperwork having already signed, and eventual got dropped.
All I can say is, if you debating between him and a public defender, do your future self a favor and call up Coley. If you debating between him and another attorney, well, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who is willing to go the lengths that this man is to fight for your cause. And I guarantee you won't find anyone else who will still pick up the phone years down the line and chat as if you just saw him yesterday.

Experience and excellence...
I sought a criminal defense attorney for my son when he was facing some severe charges that could have some long-lasting ramifications. I spoke to a couple of attorneys and Coley quickly gained my trust. He was responsive, experienced, personable and professional. Coley walked my son, and myself, through the process and answered all our questions. When it came time for court he did an outstanding job of getting the facts in front of the judge and shutting down the arresting officer. When the judge's decision came in, it was a complete win for my son. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and cannot give Coley enough kudos for his excellence. I highly recommend Coley, he's a good guy to have in your corner.

Outstanding Results
Coley was straightforward and honest from the get go, but went out of his way to personally explain everything and always give me clarity and a piece of mind. When it was time for court, he fought for and thought of solutions that I didn't even know were possible. In the end the outcome was above and beyond better then what we even expected or hoped for. We spoke to numerous other attorneys prior to choosing Coley and they had higher fees and didn't even offer to provide as much service. And his personality was sincere which I've never felt from my other attorney. Highly recommend Coley.

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY -
Our son had a serious charge that would have been life changing . Coley met with us immediately despite it being a holiday .
He was professional and understanding and helped our son with a great outcome . His responsiveness and immediate attention to our case was what we needed . He knows his laws and provides the family with options and information throughout the entire process . I can not say enough about him as a great attorney .
We consulted others and no one had the complete responsiveness and full attention to the immediate matter that Coley had . I can not recommend him more ...His attention to detail and actual caring guidance made the horrible situation we were facing a lot easier . Easy to work with and undersyanding and completely responsive !!! Hands down -- THE BEST THERE IS !!!
Thanks again for all Coley ...

Outstanding Attorney
I reached out to Coley in need of an attorney who could help me in getting my records sealed and expunged. I had a handful of misdemeanor charges that were hindering my ability to successfully gain employment as well as pass background checks for housing. I was living in Austin, TX at the time and needed an attorney who could represent me back home in Minnesota where the charges had taken place. Coley was very easy to work with, had great communication, and was able to get all of my records expunged. Let me remind you that all of this took place while I was on the other side of the country. He was able to connect with me on a personal level and understood that I made mistakes when I was younger and had worked very hard to make the necessary changes to become a better person. His ability to expunge my records helped me further forget the darker times of my life and allows me to be confident whenever I am in a situation where my background needs to be checked. Employment wise, his help was priceless, allowing me to be worry free in interviews and has helped me in achieving a successful professional career. I do not hesitate to call Coley whenever I have any general legal questions and he makes himself available to resolve any concerns or questions I may have. If anyone I know is ever in need of an attorney, I will recommend Coley without question.

Honest and Caring
I found myself in a situation that I never thought I would find myself in. I am extremely greatful that I found Coley to help with my legal problems. He was honest and straight forward with his thoughts on my case. I especially appreciated that everytime we walked into court he would reassure me by saying, "we are walking out of here together today, if the day comes that you wont be walking out with me, I'll tell you". I felt that I could trust him and his judgement with my case and that he was fighting for me. I couldnt have found anyone better to help me. He is very knowledgeable and always explained all of my options and the outcomes. I am very pleased with having chosen him to represent me during all of this.

2nd amendment expert!
Coley spoke with me immediately when I called him. We talked for roughly 20 minutes as I was denied a permit to purchase a pistol. He gave me great advice and was clearly an expert on the law. My outcome was great. Thanks Coley!

Recommendation-Coley Grostyan
I made the right decision to seek counsel from Coley Grostyan. I retained Coley to assist me with expunging and sealing my criminal record almost 3 years ago. We took our time putting my petition together and sought an expungement when the timing was right. He helped me understand and navigate the expungement laws in Minnesota. He was professional, punctual, and confidential. He has a great eye for detail and didn’t leave anything to chance. Coley kept my case on track and worked hard to meet deadlines. He went above and beyond the call of duty. The petition was resolved with a decision in my favor. I trust him and enthusiastically recommend him to potential clients.

Worth Every Penny
You will not regret choosing Coley Grostyan as your lawyer. I've never dealt with the legal system before, and Coley was extremely helpful in explaining things. When I went in for a consultation I immediately knew he knew the legal system well and he would work hard to get the best outcome possible, which he did. Coley was there when I needed him and he'll do the same for you.

This is all true
When the legal system affects your life and that of your loved ones, it can feel like the most overwhelming and horrible thing in the world. You may have known that you needed representation and feel foolish for not seeking it sooner. I am here to tell you that Coley Grostyan will fight for you. He will not judge or downplay your circumstances. What he will do is help you, prepare you, and use every resource at his disposal to insure that your case comes to an expedient and just conclusion. Of myself, I can only say that I am a physician and that I do not make referrals lightly - this is my first. 10 days before writing this my life was in crisis. Coley was not only unphased, he did not care one bit. He looked at the evidence and saw flaws in the opposition immediately. Within one afternoon, he accomplished what five other attorneys couldn't. By the day of my hearing, I had absolutely no doubts that I was in the best possible hands and you will too. He would never reassure me - even when I asked - but with the amount of work he had done and the strength of the argument he had prepared, I knew that it was going to be ok. Call, state your case, listen, and do as he says...that's all.
