Dani, Amanda, Nicole, and the entire rest of the firm at Brandt Criminal Defense were absolutely amazing. From the first phone call I made, to the first time I walked into the door, they treated me like a human being. They had genuine concern for my situation and were extremely personable to me and to those who I had brought with. When I had questions regarding something, they explained the answer to me in a way I was able to comprehend. And they answered all my questions no matter how ridiculous they were. With Brandt, you may hire 1 attorney in the office, however the entire firm has a hand in your case in some way, shape or form. Dani was my lead attorney and she made me feel so completely at ease. She always had kleenex available and always had a great ear to just listen. She or another member of the firm answered any question I had in a timely fashion. She and Amanda were always contacting me to inform me of any new information regarding the case and always made sure I was prepped for what the next step would be. There is a reason this firm comes highly recommended. Without the staff and attorneys like Dani, Nicole, Amanda and more, this firm would be lost. If it weren't for the amazing people who work here, I don't know what I would of done. read more

From my initial consultation with Mike, one of the partners, I felt significantly more informed about the legal complexities of my case. Despite not yet being retained, Mike took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, which greatly enhanced my understanding. After meeting with Paul and Autumn to discuss further details, it was clear that we had found the right firm. Within 20 minutes, we were confident in our decision to retain their services. Initially, I had concerns about Autumn's relative experience due to her youth, but she quickly alleviated any doubts. Autumn demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and a thoughtful approach throughout the entire process. She kept us well-informed, addressing every question and ensuring that we understood each step. Ultimately, Autumn secured a more favorable outcome than we had anticipated. I am deeply appreciative of the entire team's professionalism, dedication, and compassionate support. My sincere thanks to Autumn and the entire firm for their outstanding work. read more

I retained Nicole after I acquired a second DWI. The state bungled their way through the case from the start. They started by giving the wrong case number on my release paperwork. Then not charging me for 2 months. And then they issued a warrant with maximum bail even though I had been in contact with the court and had be proactive in getting everything done. To scheduling my EHM to be put on on Memorial Day. I would have had to sit in jail overnight because of their poor scheduling but Nicole immediately contacted the judge and got me released within 3 hours of getting put in jail. Nicole was very informative about the process. Always on time for our meetings. Always very helpful in answering any questions I had in between the court dates. She got an unbelievably good resolution of my case. Really unbelievably good. She is a top tier attorney in every facet. read more

I was referred to Kelly Keegan at Brandt about a year ago.... From another attorney! I had had some things in my past that did not reflect the person that I am today. I hired another firm to help me with my expungements. After this was done. I assumed my gun rights had been restored... I was wrong. This lawyer got me over to Kelly. I should have done more research and been with her from the get go. I have never felt more taken care of in my life. This firm is professional, helpful, and they care and get it. She won't take your case if she doesn't think it has a good chance. Things didn't always go my way, buy Kelly never backed down. It was worth every penny! I would recommend her to anyone. Actually, honestly, I already have. You owe it yourself to talk your case(s) with Kelly and the Brandt Criminal Defense Firm. read more

I don't write reviews often so read this one. I found myself in a very bad situtation that could have ended my career and would have made me unemployable. I met two attourneys while I was sitting in jail and Michael Brandt was one of them. Mr. Brandt was obviously the lawyer I needed from the moment I met him. Expensive but worth every penny and I would have paid more. Mr. Brandt has crediability and respect by the prosecutors and judges in Anoka county. Im confident no other lawyer could have gotten me the same outcome. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Brandt and his staff. He helped take some of the anxiety and stress out of my current situation. Mr. Brandt was also very easy to reach almost 24/7 during my case. If you need an attorny don't discount shop choose the best. Michael B. 06/11/2019 read more

I can't sing Danielle Peden's praises high enough. She came down to visit me on my first terrified night in Jail. She passed no judgement whatsoever. She has an extremely good grasp on the criminal justice system. She calmed me down, talked me through the process and let me know everything would be okay. She spent the next month working tirelessly on my behalf to position me in the best way possible for my sentencing, and we received the best case scenario outcome. This was the lowest point of my life, and Danielle helped ensure it would not ruin it. She is a huge reason why I am working so hard to be the best version of myself, because I don't think I deserved someone as amazing as her, and I am forever grateful for the work and support she provided to me. read more

Nicole and her team were completely awesome in their handling of my case. I could not have asked for a better outcome! She shared her strategy in a clear and easily understandable manner from day one. This helped me to do what I needed to do in order to present my best case in court and, again, the results were awesome! I completely and whole-hardheartedly recommend her services. I would like to point out that she was not the least expensive attorney upfront. However, in the long run, not only did I save money, but (more importantly) the resulting charge on my record was as minimal as it possibly could have been - and the odds were against that happening. read more

I retained Kelly Keegan as my lawyer for a felony charge. She was extremely helpful and very knowledgable. She was very accessible and responsive to my questions and concerns. I communicated with her via phone and email and she would always respond to my message within a few hours. She made me feel very comfortable during the most difficult time of my life. She worked with the police department and the Ramsey County Attorney to get my charges dismissed. Not only were the charges dismissed, Kelly had my arrest expunged so it's like it never happened. I would absolutely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone. read more
