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...alled the police myself, it still resulted in me being charged with a gross misdemeanor and the prospect of jail time! I was terribly frightened about the situation. Marsh Halberg truly came to the rescue for me on many levels. As far as I’m concerned you CAN NOT do better than having Marsh Halberg as your defense attorney. He patiently and kindly guided me through everyone of the complex and confusing processes of the criminal justice system. Through his professional expertise my charges were reduced to a misdemeanor with only minor fines and some personal counseling as the consequence. Marsh Halberg will make the very best of your bad situation. I’ll say it again, you just can’t do better.

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...f it and went with a plea that I know was the absolute truth. Along the way he insisted that he works for me, and that I could choose. What could have been a felony ended with a petty misdemeanor, and the long-term shame that goes along with momentary idiocy. Marsh was prompt, calm, knowledgeable, light-hearted, and fair. I want to say that he is God's gift to the legal world, but that might be pushing it a bit too far (but, I can include that here because I'm comfortable with the banter I enjoyed with him during the stress of the process).

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
