If you want the best results hire the best attorney!
I was arrested after an scuffle with my teenage son. I was trying to take his cell phone away, after he had been expelled from school for his abusive behavior to the principle, in the process I hit him. Though this was a one-time domestic assault with no priors, no history of any violence and I had c...

Great person
I was arrested with a second degree DWI and blew double the legal limit. Marsh got my sentence lowered to a third degree and reduce my sentence from 90 days to 18 days work release.

Got the job done
Can't argue with results. Marsh effectively defended me in a brutally honest way, saying something like, "you were lazy and stupid, but didn't intend to [do the thing you were accused of doing]." Actually, I appreciated that candor. Further, he was honest about the potential jury. We steered clear o...
"Marsh is very well-known for his dedicated efforts and great results in high-profile cases but he represents all of his clients zealously. He is an extremely skilled trial lawyer and negotiator --- and he is probably also one of the kindest people I have ever known."
"Marsh is passionate about helping good people out of tough situations. He is well-known in the legal community for fighting hard for his clients and obtaining very favorable results."
"Marsh is easily one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Minnesota. Anyone would be lucky to have him as counsel. He'll fight for you and won't skirt the issues. He's direct and professional."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Halberg is one of the most well-known and widely respected criminal defense lawyers in the State of Minnesota. Having worked with him on a case, I can say that he has a very level head and a keen eye on helping his clients. As he is the editor for the Minnesota DUI desk book, you could say he “wrote the book” on DUI practice in Minnesota."
