      Lindsey was helpful and proactive even before we retained him. He thoroughly explained every step of the legal proceedings and made the process as easy as was possible. He was professional and his fee commensurate with his expertise and well worth it.

      In July, 6 2015 I was arrested for a DUI at truck parking spot and facing DUI and DOT ( losing driver privileged ) the next day I called to attorney Lindsey Haugen and I explained to him, and he said that " I will fight for each case " I felt that I was in good hand's with him, I wasn't disappointed, because he is knowledgeable and experienced in DUI low. First he did he fought my DOT case then he fought the two county I was charged and all my case dismissed, not only he did that he was kind and professional attorney. I would recommend Attorney Lindsey Haugen to anyone in need DUI Attorney or any other case.

      Lindsey was professional and communicated each step and process along the way. He gave me confidence knowing other situations have turned out the way they wanted. I hired Lindsey to provide evidence of my PTSD being a factor in the charge/situation. Lindsey is calming, respectful, and effective.

      Lindsey was able to get me what I wanted when I found myself in a sticky spot. He's a great guy, and always there to answer any questions you have. He makes you feel a bit more comfortable about an uncomfortable situation. I recommend giving him a call.

      Having never been in legal trouble I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Prior to retaining Lindsey I tried to work with the DA on my own and was getting nowhere and felt like I was not being listened to. Once I retained Lindsey he put me at ease and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He made it feel like I was talking to “one of the guys”. Lindsey kept me informed and was able to negotiate an agreement when I thought I’d be stuck with a blemish on my record forever. Thanks Lindsey!

      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Lindsey has extensive knowledge of criminal procedure. If you want proof of that look no further than the hundreds of people he has helped by answering their questions on AVVO. There are other lawyers out there that also have this knowledge. What sets Lindsey apart from others is his excellent communication style and willingness to provide personal service. When I communicate with his office he responds quickly. Bottom line, If I had a friend or family member in need and they were in the Fargo/Moorhead area, they would receive a personal referral to Lindsey.
