Thank you for taking the time and reviewing my profile. I am honored to serve you. My practice consists of criminal defense and family law. I am in court daily.
In 2019, I was awarded the attorney of the year for the fifth judicial district for work in procuring a successful result in an important case, leadership in professional associations, performing significant public services, and excellence in providing in-house legal services.
In 2018, I also had the privilege to be recognized as the rising star by Superlawyers which is a highly distinguished law organization. Only 4% of attorneys in Minnesota have earned their membership in the Super Lawyers.
I hope I have a chance to work with you in the near future. Right now there is exciting news regarding criminal records. There is a new bill in Minnesota that allows people to clean up their records through expungement.
See other articles about it here. Contact my office, Knutson+Casey, to talk about expunging your record.

Five stars for acting like he cares about his client but 1 star for actually doing his job. I went to him for help with a child custody/support case. 3 hearings and 2 phone calls, (which one was my original consultation)& a bunch of emails from his paralegal cost me 5k. The outcome of my case wasn’t...
Mr. Keech, Thank you, I earned a five star review by getting you equal parenting time of a young child you had no prior contact with. We also got as much of the past child support waived as was legally possible. That wasn't good enough from your perspective. It is troubling to that you would attribute false statements to me and attack me in this fashion.
