Thorough and Very Helpful

I had a very complex DUI case that involved multiple states. Grant guided me through all the steps and was able to get me a very reasonable plea deal. His professionalism was unparalleled and was a very comfortable attorney to work with especially with this very personal case. I highly recommend hiri...ng him in a DUI or criminal defense case, especially if you’re in the SE Minnesota area.

DWI Case

Grant was great to work with! When searching for a lawyer to review and work with me on my case, I spoke to Grant over the phone. He did a wonderful job of reviewing similar cases to mine and gave me a good understanding of what to expect throughout the process. Very knowledgeable and very easy to ...stay in contact with. He consistently kept me up to date on his findings and gave his recommendations on how to proceed. This being my first time going through something like this, Grant really made a good impression on me with how comfortable he made me feel with the process. HIGHLY recommend contacting Grant if you ever need legal advice or representation. Thanks Grant!

Best lawyer in town

I hired Grant to represent and defend me when I got charged with a DWI. He successfully got all my charges dropped down to a careless driving offense. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer in his areas of expertise. He worked with me financially, is easy to talk, is extremely un...derstanding and knowledgeable of the law. I will be hiring him again in the future, if needed.

Criminal Defense

We were thrown into a nightmare when our child was falsely accused of a theft. On referral, we immediately contacted Grant as we had never had to navigate the legal system. To put the future of our son's life in the hands of an attorney was the most fearful thing we have ever had to do. From the f...irst call and multiple meetings with Grant, we had faith that this would be resolved. Grant was very knowledgeable and kept us informed and updated at all times. He treated us and our son with great respect and compassion. We can not thank Grant enough for his diligence and effort in getting the case resolved and all charges dropped against our child. Since this ordeal, we have consulted with Grant on an entirely different matter and highly recommend him to anyone. He saved our son's future and fought for justice.

Excellent DWI Lawyer - Highly recommend!

Our 20 year old son was arrested for a DWI. Having no prior experience with the judicial system, this news was both devastating and anxiety producing for my husband and I. We had no idea where to turn to or what we needed to do first. On the advice of a good friend, we hired Grant Borgen to represe...nt our son. From our first meeting through resolution, Grant provided not only excellent legal advisement and counsel, he took the time to thoroughly explain the process, patiently answering numerous questions and ensuring that we understood what to expect at each step. His calm, consistent and pragmatic approach was reassuring during a very stressful time. Grant was readily accessible by email or phone. His follow-through was exceptional, often responding that same day. Grant was also able to develop a trusting rapport with our son, allowing our son to freely discuss the details of his arrest and to be comfortable asking Grant questions to get clarification. We feel this collaborative approach was a key element in the successful outcome of our son's DWI case. We are so grateful to Grant and would highly recommend him for your legal needs.
