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 Lindse...y 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.

Exceptional Representation

First and foremost I'd like to say that Lindsey Haugen is an excellent attorney who provides exceptional representation. From our first meeting I knew that I had made the right choice of a defense attorney to represent me on my DUI case. Lindsey is a great listener/communicator who pays very close... attention to detail. Any time I had a question about my case, Lindsey was prompt to reply to my emails, text messages, and phone calls. I was treated with the utmost respect as an individual and not just another DUI case. Lindsey was very knowledgeable and informative regarding North Dakota law and it's statutes as it applied to my case. I was kept well informed on the legal process/progress of my case every step of the way. I had absolute confidence that Lindsey would provide the best legal defense on my behalf. I am very pleased to say I had the best outcome that I could have hoped for! I will always be grateful to Lindsey Haugen and his outstanding staff for a great defense and exceptional representation.

I would absolutely hire him again

I hired Lindsey Haugen to represent me in a DUI case. From the beginning, he took care to explain to me the ways my case would proceed and what I could expect at each step. That was really helpful when I was feeling overwhelmed. Once we decided on a approach to my case, he and his office were very... good at always letting me know what steps were being taken. The legal paperwork always got to me quickly and I would get phone calls with updates as well. He was always on time and prepared when we had face to face meetings. When I had to make a choice about something, I would ask him his advice and he would explain what he thought was the best choice and why. My court case proceeded as he told me it would, and in the end I feel he got me the best outcome I could expect in my circumstances. I hope I never need to hire an attorney again, but if I do, Lindsey Haugen will be the only call I make.

A superb attorney

I called Mr. Haugen to help resolve a criminal issue with my son. On the first call he correctly analyzed the problem, told me what to expect and predicted a favorable outcome. He then followed through with everything that needed to be done in an efficient, expeditious and highly effective manner. ... He kept me well informed every step of the way and was always understanding, sympathetic and supportive. Everything worked out well which was exactly what he had anticipated. I work with attorneys frequently as a professional expert witness. Mr. Haugen is as good or better than any other attorney with whom I have ever worked. I give him my highest possible recommendation in every possible way. I will always be grateful for how well he helped my son through a difficult and complex situation.

"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."
