Burnsville Criminal Defense Attorney
Laura K. Valentine

Violation of a Protection Order · DUI · Assault and Battery · Sex Crimes · Homicide

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, it is important to speak to a criminal lawyer before making any statement to police or prosecutors. Whether the charges you are facing are for a minor violation such as shoplifting, or for something more serious, such as DUI/drunk driving, felony theft, or manslaughter, your attorney has the best chance of protecting your rights if you obtain representation as early as possible in the criminal proceedings.

To make arrangements for a free consultation, contact my criminal defense law office in Burnsville.

As your criminal defense attorney, I am not only concerned with the facts surrounding the charges, but also with your personal concerns. I have extensive trial experience and have won numerous not-guilty verdicts. However, it may be possible to get you the best results more quickly, privately, and economically through plea negotiations with the police, prosecutor, and court. I will explain what your options are, help you you select a defense strategy, and vigorously represent your interests.

I am licensed to practice before both state and federal courts in Minnesota, and prepared to handle cases involving a full range of criminal charges and proceedings:

  • shoplifting
  • violation of protective orders
  • family violence
  • indecent exposure, public urination
  • DUI / drunk driving
  • auto theft
  • theft, fraud, or burglary
  • drug possession, sale, manufacturing, cultivation,
    distribution, or trafficking
  • assault, battery
  • vehicular homicide
  • sexual assault allegations, including "date rape" cases
  • armed robbery
  • manslaughter and murder
  • bail and bond hearings
  • grand jury proceedings
  • sex offender registration issues
  • probation violations
  • parole violations
  • juvenile criminal defense, juvenile delinquency
  • CHIPS cases
