Why Experience and Local Knowledge Matter
Cottage Grove is part of Washington County, which means that criminal cases originating Cottage Grove are prosecuted in the Washington County District Court in Stillwater.

Whether your arrest happened after a traffic stop on Highway 61, an incident at a local bar, or a misunderstanding at home, we’re ready to step in quickly, protect your rights, and start building your defense. We represent individuals facing every type of criminal accusation, from misdemeanor offenses to serious felonies, including:
DWI / DUI
Law enforcement in Cottage Grove takes impaired driving seriously. A DWI arrest can lead to immediate license suspension and potential jail time. We investigate every detail of your case: the stop, the arrest, your right to counsel, the validity of scientific testing, and other issues.
Drug Crimes
Even a small drug possession charge can carry lasting consequences. We challenge illegal searches, analyze lab results, and scrutinize police conduct to ensure your constitutional rights are protected. We have a successful track record of litigating search and seizure issues, as is detailed at our page demonstrating some of our results.
Assault & Domestic Domestic Assault
Assault and domestic violence cases often hinge on one person’s word against another’s. We understand how emotional and complex these cases can be, and we work to uncover inconsistencies, context, and evidence that support your side of the story. We know there often two sides to a story, and we know how to build a defense from the ground up, utilizing private investigators and challenging the prosecution’s evidence and narrative.
Theft, Property Crimes & Other Offenses
Shoplifting, burglary, obstruction, or disorderly conduct charges can stem from misunderstandings or false accusations. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and trial advocates who know how to present your case clearly and effectively to prosecutors, judges, and juries.
