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.

Outstanding Attorney

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 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.

Highly recommended

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!

Beyond impressed.

Lindsey and his team went above and beyond to help me with anything that I needed. They were SO kind with any questions, concerns, or simple requests that I had. The entire team was open to communication and they were driven to complete this as soon as they possibly could. I would recommend Lindsey Haugen to anyone who is new to the courts and what situations arise from them, or someone who needs a lawyer for legal advice/criminal charges. As the title says, I was BEYOND impressed with how Lindsey Haugen handled himself and how driven he seemed to get everything done way ahead of schedule. He has the experience needed to get great results, and he has multiple people backing him as well. I would highly suggest him for any of your legal needs.

Expert DUI/DWI Attorney

Posted by

I originally hired a different lawyer for my DUI/DWI charge where I blew 0.168, twice the limit. The consequences for that are 2 days in jail or 20 hours of community service and a fine. He got me a plea deal to get the jail time/community service dropped but I would still get a DUI/DWI... not a great deal being I would still get the DUI/DWI on my record. I had a feeling my first lawyer was not fighting for me so I went to Lindsey's office. I went to his office and told him my story. He believed we had a good chance to get the DUI/DWI charge lessened to reckless driving so I hired him right away being I was crunched for time. I gave him the DVDs and CDs the officers used while arresting me and he looked them over and got back to me a week or so later. He then told me we have a decent chance of changing the charge depending on how the prosecutor feels when he goes to try and negotiate with her. I'm not sure how the negotiating went but I got a call later with some great news, the DUI/DWI charge was being lessened to a reckless driving charge. I still had to do community service (only 20 hours), take an evaluation, and pay a fine of $1500, however, I will not be charged with a DUI/DWI. Lindsey Haugen is the man. I highly recommend hiring Lindsey Haugen for a DUI/DWI charge.

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.
