Why Hire Us?

Wilson & Clas consistently provides aggressive, intelligent, and resourceful advocacy for our clients. Our creative and clear defense strategies have proven effective time and time again against the immense power and nearly unlimited resources of Minnesota’s prosecutors.

  • Responsiveness. We strive to return all calls the same day, and all clients will have their attorney’s personal cell phone number and email address. We text and are available via social media as well.

  • Results-oriented representation. The “right” defense differs in every case. Wilson & Clas works with each individual client to learn the facts and nuances of their criminal charge, allegation, or criminal conviction, and the firm communicates openly and honestly about the variety of options they have moving forward.

  • The firm offers flexible and transparent billing. Too often criminal defense attorneys are criticized for charging too much for too little work. Wilson & Clas is upfront about fees, billing, and payment. We offer free consultations, and charge competitive fees for representation.

  • The firm is not afraid to fight. The easy way is not always the right way. We are here to provide guidance and advice, but we are not afraid to try cases that need to be tried. The firm has successfully defended individuals against a wide variety of criminal allegations through jury trial. This includes obtaining not guilty verdicts (“acquittals”) and dismissals in serious felony cases including first-degree premeditated murder and second-degree intentional murder.

Wilson & Clas has zealously and successfully defended clients against a wide variety of criminal allegations throughout Minnesota, including first-degree murder, criminal sexual conduct, felony assault, aggravated and simple robbery, felony theft, RICO/Racketeering, DWI, DUI, implied consent revocations, criminal vehicular homicide and operation, fleeing the police, damage to property, arson, wire fraud, domestic assault, and many more.
