DWI Defense
Our DWI defense attorneys challenge improper traffic stops, flawed chemical testing, and constitutional violations. We examine breathalyzer calibration records, officer training documentation, and field sobriety test administration procedures. Clients benefit from our experience handling complex DWI cases involving commercial drivers, multiple offenses, and aggravated circumstances. We frequently negotiate charge reductions to careless driving or secure complete dismissals through evidence suppression.
Drug Crime Defense
We defend against all levels of drug charges from simple possession to trafficking operations. Our approach examines chain-of-custody documentation, lab analysis procedures, and search warrant validity. We frequently challenge evidence obtained through unconstitutional searches or improper forensic testing. Our attorneys have successfully reduced felony drug charges to misdemeanors and secured alternative sentencing arrangements for clients.
Sex Crime Defense
Our sex crime defense practice addresses accusations ranging from misdemeanor indecent conduct to felony criminal sexual conduct charges. We investigate digital evidence, challenge witness credibility, and examine forensic testing procedures. Our attorneys have successfully defended clients against false accusations and negotiated resolutions that avoid sex offender registration requirements.
Felony Defense
We handle felony charges including assault, fraud, and violent crimes. Our defense strategies examine prosecutorial evidence, challenge constitutional violations, and develop mitigation narratives. We frequently negotiate charge reductions, alternative sentencing options, and diversion programs. Our experience includes defending complex multi-count indictments and federal criminal charges.
Criminal Appeals
Our appellate practice focuses on identifying trial court errors and constitutional violations. We analyze sentencing discrepancies, improper evidence admission, and jury instruction issues. We have successfully overturned wrongful convictions and reduced excessive sentences through Minnesota Court of Appeals and Supreme Court proceedings.

I'm writing this review today to thank Lexie Stein for handling my criminal defense case for alleged sexual assult of a minor. In addittion to handling part of a Chips case. She was upfront and explained everything in detail as i have never been through this before. Lexie has always responed to questions in a timely manner and helped calmed me down when things were looking grim. She was very detailed in following through with investigators and prosecutor and making sure they had all the information needed to help me not get charged for a heinous crime. Luckily for me, Lexi worked with the prosecutor in eliminating any charges. I was elated to hear the news from Lexi, I could of had married her that day.

Max Keller is an amazing attorney that will give you hope when other give up, he will never promise something that he cannot do for you. After more than 10 years of battling the case, I found Max, thank you God that I did. Not only that he has an extensive experience and knowledge in criminal law , but he has a network of resources that he can use and recommend. It was my case, where immigration law was involved and he introduced me to another attorney who is amazing also and helped me like no other.

If you are looking for a personable, smart, honest and responsible attorney, please come see Max. Thank you Max and Shaleen for everything that you did for me and are doing with another unrelated case right now.
