Austin, Minnesota Criminal Defense Lawyers

Being arrested and charged with a criminal offense is not the same as being guilty. Every year thousands of innocent people are arrested. Without quality representation, many of them are convicted. At Plunkett and Associates, Inc. in Austin, Minnesota, our attorneys have had significant success representing people charged with drunk driving, misdemeanors, and felonies.

Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys

Being placed in a police car, hauled to the police station, fingerprinted, and having a mug shot taken can be disorienting. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney protecting your interests is vital. Our firm is prepared to handle any criminal defense matter, including cases involving:

Felonies
Misdemeanors
Drug crimes
Assault
Domestic abuse
Sex crimes
White collar crime
Damage to property
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

The criminal defense attorneys at Plunkett and Associates understand the tactics used by the police as well as how prosecutors build their case. Patrick Oman, our lead criminal defense lawyer, served as a Mower County Prosecutor for twelve years, giving our clients the benefit of a lawyer who can analyze criminal matters from the prospective of a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney.

DUI/DWI Representation

Most people arrested for drunk driving are facing the criminal justice system for the first time. Many don't think of themselves as criminal or don't believe that the charge is all that serious. The state does. It has been estimated that a DUI conviction can cost upwards of $10,000. Our attorneys are committed to protecting the interests of people facing DUI charges. We challenge every aspect of the state's case, from the probable cause of the initial stop to the accuracy of the breathalyzer results.

Our attorneys are committed to providing the southern Minnesota communities we serve with strong and effective criminal defense representation.
