At North Star Law Group, we don’t just handle criminal defense—we master it. When your reputation, your livelihood, and your freedom are on the line, you need more than just a lawyer. You need a defense team that thrives under pressure, understands the courtroom, and isn't afraid to take on complex or high-stakes cases.
We Know What It Takes to Win
Whether you’re facing a felony, a white collar investigation, or a high-profile indictment, our defense team brings sharp strategy and relentless advocacy to every case. Our attorneys have successfully defended clients in cases involving:
- Federal conspiracy and racketeering (RICO) charges
- Felony assault and violent crime allegations
- Financial crimes and embezzlement
- Serious vehicular offenses and DWIs
- Drug trafficking and distribution
In United States v. Gregory Brown, a high-profile federal case alleging racketeering conspiracy as part of a Minneapolis street gang, our defense attorney Dan Adkins helped secure a not guilty verdict on the most serious charges brought against Mr. Brown. As reported by the Star Tribune:
“Gregory Brown has maintained his innocence from the beginning. We are thankful that the jury agreed,” said Adkins. “As for the RICO conviction, we disagree with that finding but will refrain from further comment due to post‑trial motions to set aside that verdict. We hope to see Mr. Brown returned to his family as soon as possible.”
Even a single-count conviction in a case of this magnitude can still represent a significant legal victory—especially when the remaining charges could have carried life-altering consequences. High-stakes criminal defense is not just about absolutes—it's about minimizing exposure, dismantling unjust allegations, and achieving the best possible outcome under extraordinary pressure.
The Power of a Strong Support Team
Behind every courtroom success is a powerful support system. In this case, our paralegal Colin and in-house tech team played a pivotal role, managing over 270,000 exhibits and processing more than one million pages of discovery. Their diligence, precision, and round-the-clock efforts allowed our attorneys to focus on what mattered most: the defense.
Discreet. Strategic. Relentless.
High-profile criminal defense demands more than legal knowledge. It requires discretion, courtroom confidence, and media-savvy strategy. We don’t just protect your legal rights—we safeguard your public image, your peace of mind, and your future.
Clients often tell us: “I can’t afford to get this wrong.” And they’re right. In these cases, one misstep can carry lifelong consequences. That’s why we dig deeper, prepare smarter, and advocate harder.
