Fantastic attorney

Dave was terrific. First of all, he achieved the desired result I wanted with my case and was a pleasure to work with. He is a good communicator, explains the process with clarity, is respectful, and I believe truly cares about you and your situation. He is bright and articulate and returns all ...calls promptly. I knew I could count on him to be available when I needed him. I felt I was thoroughly heard and knew if something would arise he would be right on it. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Highly Recommend David Lundgren

David Lundgren represented a relative this year in a criminal defense case and I would highly recommend him for your legal needs. His professionalism, knowledge, experience, communication and counsel put our mind at ease. He was always willing to take the time to fully explain details and help guide ...us through a complicated process. We will forever be grateful for his defense expertise and the positive end results that were beyond our expectations.

Exceptional Representation

David Lundgren is the best representative I have had to date. His communication, preparation, dedication, and persistence never ceased to amaze me throughout my expungement process. David made this process as pain free as possible and overcame any obstacle that stood in the way. His professionalism e...xceeds expectations. He is highly recommended.

Dave fought hard for me

I had a case that run couple of years that was complicated and had a lot of moving parts and very stressful time in my life, Dave from the begging listened and provided excellent consultation. I didn't feel like a number and the Dave's level of preparation and persistence in getting a favorable outco...me was second to none. I am grateful for his work and the favorable outcome I received in my case.

Powerful Advocate and Professional Leader

David Lundgren is a knowledgeable professional that successfully advocated for me in court to best provide me a future after I made a mistake. I hired David after I was involved in a drunk driving incident. I was guilty of the offense, and was looking for assistance in advocating for my cause in cour...t. I was in college at the time, and was looking for this to have little impact on my pursuit of an education. My case was special in that when I was in the hospital I denied to have a blood test performed by an officer while I was inebriated. David, through building a detailed case with me and taking control of our message in court, was able to provide me with the best resolution. I was looking at a substantial fine in the thousands, time in prison, and measures taken against my driving license. These charges would have substantially affected my life in a negative manner, and I would have lost my job and would not have completed school if I had gone to jail. Through David's powerful presence in the room and knowledge of Minnesota and Federal law, I now stand having learned a valuable lesson and suffering only a small fine, a few responsible driving courses, and a license suspension for a small period. I am certain, with an attorney of a lower caliber, I would not be so well equipped to experience success in my future. The moment I met David, he made clear to me the consequences of reoffending and the outlook of my situation in court. I never had a moment of doubt during my court proceedings that I had nothing less than the best advocating for me. After our interaction, he has made me a lifelong client and has made a positive affect in the community. He ensures sure our justice system is held accountable for their rulings, and fair in their assessments.
