Highly Recommend!

Ginny was my 3rd attorney that I hired in my family case over a 7 year period. I wish I had been referred to her years ago. Her sincere interest in my case was refreshing. It was nice to have timely responses to my emails and my phone calls, sometimes within minutes. She never made me feel like I was... a bother unlike my past experiences with other attorneys. Ginny is easy to talk to and when she says she is going to get something done, she does it. I have never seen an attorney work so hard, so efficiently and handle every situation so well. Her advice and guidance helped shape my case into a much stronger one. She always kept in contact and kept me informed of everything. I was amazed as how she followed up on my case until it was resolved. In the past, I was the one following up and often received no clear answers or no answers at all. Ginny was kind, caring, always kept me informed of every aspect of my case and gave me the advice that I needed. Ginny truly cares about her clients and fights for what is important to them. In the courtroom she was incredibly prepared, very detailed and professional. She doesn't make false promises and tells it like it is. When you choose an attorney, sometimes you are literally putting your life in their hands. I trusted Ginny then, and I would trust her again today. Ginny was dedicated and determined on what needed to be done. Needless to say… We WON! I would highly recommend her.

Simply the best

I needed an attorney to help me with a complex DUI case. It was going to be a little tricky since I do not reside in Minnesota. I had contacted several attorney's that either did not return my call, or did not answer me back. When I contacted Virginia, she called me back within an hour and agreed to... consult me on the phone, free of charge, about my case. I didn't want an attorney to tell me what I wanted to hear. Virginia was up front and honest, but was pleasant to put your nerves at ease. I could tell in the short time I talked to her, Virginia was genuinely concerned and helpful for my case. After I retained Virginia, and she had more information, she was very responsive and communicated to me from beginning to end solutions and strategies on how we should proceed. I count my blessings that I didn't go with another attorney because Virginia negotiated the best outcome I could have recieved. She also worked hard for a quicker resolution since I was home for my father's funeral and this would help me financially to alleviate future travel expenses and missing work. I'm grateful for her. If anyone is reading this should know, take it from me, hire Virginia for any type of case you may be involved in. You will have an attorney and the peace of mind knowing you have someone who will negotiate and fight hard for you.

Highly recommend

Ginny is an extraordinary attorney. She went above and beyond to meet my needs , she was always prompt and knowledgable on anything and everything I brought to her. She consistently provided me with updated information regarding my case, gave me exceptional advice on what was most beneficial for my c...ase. She always responded to my concerns or questions in a timely manner, even on weekends. I truly felt that while my case was in her hands that I was being taken care of and well looked after. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice, she's the best!

criminal case

My reasons for recommending Ginny for a lawyer is because she is straight forward and open about how to go about the case. She has faith and believed in me that I would stay strong and when I had a question and if she didn't have the answer she would get back to me with in a reasonable time. She has ...really good advice and when I would start to have anxiety about court she was always positive and understanding of why I was feeling the way I did. Ginny was the best court appointed attorney I've had.

No second guessing this lawyer's got my back 100%.

Hands down the best criminal defense lawyer I came across, not because my case was won but because of her genuine belief in what you tell her . Quick to respond to your questions and concerns and has your best interest in mind at all times. I was facing two charges in two counties she made it possib...le for me to attend court over the phone so that a warrant wouldn't be issued for me. She knows her stuff and is always in touch. Real informative and won't sugar coat anything so be ready for the truth and what you will be facing . I was blessed to have her as my court appointed attorney . My case is still ongoing and regardless the outcome , you will be satisfied with her sincere dedicated effort .
