Michele Sims | Duluth Criminal Lawyer

I had a DUI case in which my client tested over the legal limit more than three hours after being arrested. The client was pulled over on the side of the road when the police approached her, but she admitted to driving. The Assistant Solicitor wouldn't even negotiate a plea deal with me. The case went to trial and even though evidence was admitted that my client blew over .08 I was able to get a not guilty verdict on all counts.

Someone who right from the beginning will listen to them; if an attorney doesn't listen to you while trying to earn your business how much will they listen to you once they have your business?

Basic information concerning the nature of the charges such as what the State has to prove to make its case, possible defenses, and sentencing ranges for the charges.

For criminal cases I need the pending charges, date of arrests, names of any co-defendants, and a brief description of events leading up to the arrest. For social security disability cases I need the nature of claimed disability, date of onset, work history, and information concerning any steps they have already taken to get benefits.

I am very involved in the church and believe strongly in community service. I especially like to work with/support organizations that work with children.
