About Anthony
Biography
I am a full time criminal defense lawyer who decided to move with my family to Fergus Falls and raise our family. My entire career has been dedicated to representing people charged with state and federal crimes, including DUI. My experience has taken me all over Minnesota to represent my clients.
Within my practice, I have tried numerous different kinds of cases to juries, received a not guilty verdicts, obtained hosts of dismissals of cases, suppressed key pieces of evidence, prevented cases from being charged out through vigorous private investigations, and have engaged in very favorable plea negotiations.
You need a fighter in your corner and I will be there for you.
