Excellant white collar criminal lawyer
Mr. Gegen represented me in a $300k felony level embezzlement case and got me in front of the right judge, negotiated an excellant plea deal, and I spent 6 months in Dakota county jail. I was guilty as hell. In my case 6 months jail vs mandatory 4 years prison is unbelievably good. I highly recommend...

Dependable attorney
Back in 2013, I got a DWI. I retained Nick as my attorney. I moved to another state when the case is still active. Nick is able to work with me remotely and we finally got the case settled. He answers calls every time. I would use him again in the future.
