Minnesota Lawyer - Understanding a Lawyers Job

7 April, 2011

We often take what we see on TV as absolute.  We think a lawyer’s job is showing up to court and arguing a case before a jury. This may have something to do with why so many people wait until after they have been charged with a crime and are headed to trial before they actually decide to call a lawyer. There is more to a Minnesota lawyer however than arguing your case in court and the sooner you call, the better your chances of getting the representation you need.

A Minnesota lawyer is a professional at gathering the facts, not just for the crime that was alleged but also for the process by which you were arrested and put in jail. By doing this the Minnesota lawyer can ensure that your rights have been protected as well as find any evidence of your innocent. At Keyser Defense we will aggressively pursue your rights and defense. Here is some more information about us:

Keyser Law Firm is a different breed of legal advocacy. We strive to restore the reputation of attorneys through ethical, professional and client-centered representation. Our purpose is serving the public by ensuring their rights are protected and the legal system fairly and even-handedly administers justice. We practice exclusively criminal defense and have a reputation for providing exceptional representation at affordable costs.

Restoring the Profession

The legal practice has become a business. Lawyers are concerned less with their clients’ obstacles and more with their unjustified fees, rates and salaries. Too many law firms have forgotten that legal advocacy is a profession, where the primary objective is to serve the client. When wealth becomes an attorney’s motivation, the profession’s reputation is smeared and the public’s disdain for the legal system increases.

Clients Come First

In Minnesota, the greatest number of ethical complaints against attorneys stems from case neglect. “My attorney never returned my phone calls.” “My attorney never kept me up to date on my case.” Clients are angry because they pay hard-earned money to their attorney and in return are left in the dark with their case. This sad scenario is common; attorneys sign clients, demand large legal fees and then perform mediocre case work while ignoring their clients. We love hearing from our clients. We invite you to call us anytime, day or night, with your questions and concerns, no matter how small you think they might be. As your legal representative, we are here for you and will ensure you feel comfortable with your case and the decisions you need to make.

We Counsel Our Clients

Stop almost any attorney in the street, ask for his or her business card and there is a high probability it merely says “Attorney at Law.” An attorney should also be a “Counselor at Law” by advising each client on not only the legal issue at hand but collateral consequences to the choices ahead. Our clients come first and we work together as a team. Navigating the legal system can be frightening and discouraging. We promise to keep you informed from start to finish and will always explain the reasons for our calculated decisions. With our guidance, support and zealous advocacy, you will feel informed and empowered to make the right legal decisions for your future.
