Fantastic Attorney!

I used Xavier Martine for a criminal defense matter. He walked me through the entire process and explained each step thoroughly. I was terrified and he immediately put my worries to rest by providing me the information I needed to proceed through the court process. He was always very responsive to my calls. I would recommend his legal services to anyone!

I have had the privilege to work with Xavier in criminal court for several years. I always found him to be creative, thoughtful and extremely competent. In particular, I found that he could think on his feet and adapt when it was needed This is a rare skill. As importantly, his arguments are persuasive and he stands out among criminal defense attorneys in Minnesota.
