True Advocate!

I took my search for legal representation very seriously -- and I'm guessing if you're reading this, you are too. Like many people, I had a lot of questions and concerns when trying to find the right attorney. I'm based in Minneapolis, but my case involved three serious driving violations in Stearns ...County. Naturally, I considered hiring a "top" Minneapolis attorney to take the case up to St. Cloud -- but I quickly realized I didn't even know who that really was. So I spent the next 5 days diving deep into attorney reviews, backgrounds, and reputations across Minnesota. Over and over again, one name kept rising to the top: Ken Wilson. I chose Ken because of his reputation, his credentials, and his overwhelmingly positive reviews. But what truly stood out was his attentiveness, professionalism, and calm, competent demeanor -- even on that first phone call. Ken immediately took action and gave me a sense of relief I hadn't felt since my case began. I knew instantly I had the right person in my corner. I was looking for a tenacious, experienced advocate who could handle a complex situation and guide it toward the best possible resolution -- and Ken did exactly that. In less than a month, he was able to get both misdemeanors dismissed, leaving me with only a petty misdemeanor. Even more impressively, I never had to set foot in a courtroom. Ken didn't just meet my expectations -- he exceeded them. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found and hired him. If you're searching for an attorney, do your research. Ken gave me peace of mind, outstanding results, and the confidence that I had the best advocate on my side. Aaron W. Minneapolis, MN

Highly recommend.

Ken was just remarkable from my first contact to the end. Worked hard on my behalf, was knowledgeable and honest throughout the entire ordeal. Very grateful that Ken was on my side.

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, g...iving 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.

Best attorney out there

Ken is always an awesome straightforward attorney. He makes you feel like he has your best interest in mind, not just after your money. He is my first and only call and I recommend him to everybody.

Case dismissed

Back in August of 2021 I was wrongfully accused of a crime. A crime in which the maximum penalty was 30 years in prison. I took Ken on as my attorney since he had helped me with my dwi case a year prior. Not knowing what to expect Ken always believed me and never steered me in the wrong direction. He... has a straight shooter mentality. Which is what I believe an attorney should be. Someone who doesn't sugar coat anything and tells you like it is. After 15 months of working on my case and a 2 day trial, I was found not guilty. I easily could have been wrongfully convicted but Ken stuck to the facts of the case and because of that I am a free man able to move on with my family from that very long nightmare.
