Reasonably Priced, Fantastic Person, the BEST Lawyer
I hired Andrew when I had a bit of legal trouble and he was able to help me tremendously. He fought hard for me and for my case while also being extremely compassionate throughout the entire situation. I cannot stress enough - if you need a criminal defense attorney in the Twin Cities, Andrew is your guy. Reasonably priced, fantastic person, the BEST lawyer I've ever worked with. He almost makes me feel bad for all the attorney jokes I've been telling for years...
I hired Andrew for my domestic assault charges. I'd never been in trouble with the law before, and the whole situation was a misunderstanding. Andrew thoroughly reviewed the "evidence" in my case, got statements from witnesses, and got my case dismissed (which it should have been). I would recommend Andrew to anyone in a heartbeat.
Wilson won his first jury trial before graduating from law school. After his first year of practice, his name was cemented in Minnesota Supreme Court case law, and within five he’d been to the Eighth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals, won jury trials, won bench trials, won appeals, and had significant victories throughout Minnesota at the district courts. Wilson has dedicated his career to practicing criminal defense and representing individuals accused to have committed crimes.
A born litigator, a Northfield-native, and an advocate for the underdog, Wilson prides himself in providing expert-level representation without exception. He understands the stress and uncertainty associated with a criminal charge, and appreciates the pressure that criminal defendants face. He makes it a priority to alleviate as much of that stress and anxiety as he can, through clear action plans and solid defenses.
He also understands that working with attorneys can be intimidating and expensive. He works with his clients—routinely—to arrange billing schedules that fit their needs, and provides free consultations on almost any issue.
- Experienced trial attorney and criminal litigator;
- Frequent guest lecturer on criminal matters at colleges, universities, and law schools throughout Minnesota;
- Prior contributor to Minnesota’s DWI Deskbook, a resource used by judges and lawyers throughout the state;
- Magna cum laude law school graduate; St. Olaf College undergraduate.

Above and Beyond
After contacting Mr. Wilson about a dispute with my landlord I was able to work toward my next steps with ease. He laid out all of my options with both simplicity and the detail necessary to make an informed decision. I would sum up my experience as professional with a calming/helpful demeanor. Highly recommend.
