An awesome lawyer!
Ken will always be my first choice lawyer— i’ve worked with him twice and I don’t regret it! he’s very prompt, professional, honest and will put up a good fight for you, he’s good at keeping you in the loop and making sure you have a great understanding of what’s going to happen and what is happening every step of the way. If you’re looking for a great lawyer look no more, and schedule your consultation!

Great Lawyer
Ken was great to work with through the whole process. He worked very hard to get me the best deal possible. He also made the whole ordeal so much less stressful for me (which is a blessing with all the other stress of the incident) always helped guide me in the right directions of what I had to do, giving me links and such right on his website to make doing the tasks much easier, and by just giving me his honest and best knowledge of the situation (especially when I didn’t know what certain things were) and just was very good at always keeping me in the loop.

Discharged from probation
Ken helped me dismiss my case of a 20-year probation period within about a month after I reached out to him. His advice & communication with me was very professional, he was very knowledgeable about the current & updated laws, charge a very reasonable fee and overall did a great job. I felt very good with him from the start of the process until the end. I would recommend Ken to anyone who needs a great lawyer to get the job done.

Great lawyer
I hired Ken to help me with my case and he was great. All of our communication was done via email and he kept me up to date every step of the way. He explained everything to me in a way that I would understand and got me a great deal. I truly believe that unlike a public pretender he truly cared and was there for me not for the courts. Would highly recommend!

Review of Ken L Wilson
I got in trouble with the MN DMV and MN Dept of Public Safety, I was guilty and Ken got me a much better deal than I thought possible, so if you need a lawyer to deal with the state he's your lawyer! I highly recommend him!

Ken Wilson - a great choice
I had a legal entanglement and engaged Ken to help me - best decision I could have made. Ken is great at being responsive and communicating with clients. Always quick to answer my questions and provide excellent counsel. He was key in safely and quickly navigating me through my issue. I would hire Ken again without hesitation.
