We’re prepared to help with your case and provide exceptional representation throughout the process.

- Homicide and murder
- Certain aggravated DUI and DWIs
- Weapon and gun charges

Order For Protection Violations
An order for protection provides a victim of domestic abuse protection against further harm or domestic abuse. While these orders cannot stop an abuser, they do create guidelines that allow survivors or others the ability to call the police if the order is violated.
Order for protection violations can result in felonies, gross misdemeanors or misdemeanors.
DUI’s And DWI’s
Our dedicated team of criminal defense attorneys defends people arrested for drunk or impaired driving (DUIs and DWIs). We treat every client with attention and incredible care to ensure that they receive a supportive legal team.
Throughout Minnesota, we’ve represented our clients in a wide variety of cases, including repeat offenses and felony drunk driving.
Criminal Sexual Misconduct
Being accused of a sex crime can be a terrifying endeavor, and convictions can be devastating for your future. Our attorneys are here to help make sure you don’t go through it by yourself. We’ve helped a number of our clients reduce or even have their charges dismissed. Every case is different, and varying severity of sexual misconduct carries progressively steeper sentences. We know that your case has a lot on the line – that’s why you need an experienced attorney by your side.
Probation Violations
The results of a sentence can often lead to probation. Violating the terms of probation can place an individual in a tough spot and create further issues and sentencing.
Many individuals who are alleged to have violated their probation don’t realize they can partake in a contested hearing that allows them to dispute the alleged violations. Whether you or someone you love is dealing with probation, conditional release or supervised release violations – CJB Law can help.
Traffic Offenses
While paying a traffic violation may seem like the easiest option, it’s sometimes not the smartest. Regardless of the severity of your traffic offense, having a moving violation on your record can be limiting. Insurance costs may rise, employment opportunities may dwindle and you’re one step closer to having your license revoked.
Moving violations are defendable or negotiable, and an experienced traffic offense attorney can help you achieve a resolution that fits your best interests. We’ll help you fight for your case.
Disorderly Conduct
Minnesota Statute 609.72, 2009 states that “whoever does any of the following in a public or private place, including on a school bus, knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know that it will, or will tend to, alarm, anger or disturb others or provoke an assault or breach of the peace, is guilty of disorderly conduct.
Disorderly conduct includes but is not limited to a wide variety of offenses, including fighting, disturbing a meeting or assembly, or engaging in offensive, abusive, obscene or noisy conduct.
Adults or juveniles who are arrested for or charged with disorderly conduct should consult with a veteran criminal offense attorney for experienced legal advice.
