I had the privilege of being represented by Criminal Defense Attorney Tom Beito, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his exceptional legal prowess, unwavering dedication, and compassionate approach throughout my case. From his meticulous analysis of the evidence to his persuasive courtroom presence, Mr. Beito demonstrated unparalleled expertise and professionalism. His ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system, coupled with his genuine care and empathy, created a supportive environment that instilled confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Tom Beito to anyone in need of reliable and skilled legal representation—truly an invaluable asset in securing a positive outcome.
Tom was beyond helpful during the long wait for my initial court appearance. He calmed my nerves and explained to me exactly what to expect. I am so thankful he was there all the way with me. He managed to work with the prosecutor to reach an extremely favorable outcome for my first DUI offense. He is a diligent and hard worker - I cannot recommend him enough!!
Tom’s passion is defending people in the toughest moments of their lives. For more than a decade, he has defended people in cases ranging from assault and DWI to criminal sexual conduct and homicide. He has represented thousands of people and won jury trials and dismissals all over the State of Minnesota. While his office is in Downtown Minneapolis he has won cases in counties all over the state, such as Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Wright, Anoka, Carver, Washington, Stearns, Chippewa, Brown, Swift, St. Louis, and others too numerous to mention. His career has been and will always be standing up for people against the vast power of the police and the government.
Being charged with a crime can be a life altering experience. The government has immense resources at their disposal when seeking a conviction and jail or prison sentence. If you’re in a tough situation, and the government or police are coming after you, Tom will stand up for you and fight to make your life better.
Tom was born and raised in Minnesota. He is a graduate of St. Olaf College and St. Louis University School of Law. After graduating with honors, Tom was distinguished with the William F. Napier Award, given to the top trial advocacy student by the St. Louis Trial Lawyers Association. He is a member of the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and has been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers each year from 2009-2016. Tom is licensed to practice in state court by the Supreme Court of Minnesota and in federal court by the United States District Court for Minnesota.

Case Dismissed
Tom went to bat for us when we felt like we had no hope. The prosecutor wasn't willing to work with us, but Tom reassured us that he would fight for us, and get the charges dismissed. He did not disappoint! At each court date he was confident and knowledgeable, which put us at ease throughout a stressful, and scary situation. So thankful for all he did for me and my sisters! Tom, you truly are a rockstar! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I ever need representation again, you will be the first person I call.
Thank you, Thank you!
