Southwest Minnesota Criminal Defense & DWI Attorney
A Grounded Defense When the System Feels Overwhelming
Behind every charge is a person; someone with a story, a family, and a future. My role is to listen carefully, look closely at the evidence, ask the questions that matter, and build the strongest possible defense around the whole story.
By the time you are charged with a crime, the state has already begun telling its version of what happened. My job is to slow that process down and test that version against what is actually there. I will examine the evidence piece by piece, challenge what should be challenged, and make sure your side is heard. I bring calm, analytical precision to that work, because the details matter, and so does your future.

Cases I Handle
DWI Defense
A DWI can affect your license, your record, and far more than the night of the arrest. I examine the stop, the testing process, and the evidence closely to identify every viable defense avaible and protect what is at stake.
Drug Charges
Drug cases often turn on how the evidence was found, what it actually proves, and whether the State followed the law in obtaining it. I examine the search, the evidence, the underlying lab data, and the circumstances to identify what needs to be challenged and work toward the best possible outcome for you.
Domestic Assault
Domestic assault allegations can change your life quickly, sometimes before you have even had an opportunity to tell your full side of what happened. I look carefully at the evidence, the circumstances, and what actually happened to build a defense grounded in the full story.
Theft Defense
Domestic assault charges move fast and carry serious collateral consequences. I provide careful, evidence-focused defense for individuals facing these allegations.
Assault Defense
Assault and violent crime charges require careful attention to the facts, witnesses, and evidence. I build a defense grounded in the actual record.
Criminal Sexual Conduct
These charges carry life-altering consequences. I provide thorough, evidence-driven defense with careful attention to forensic science and witness credibility.
Felony Defense
Felony convictions carry consequences far beyond prison time. I provide aggressive, evidence-driven defense from first-time allegations to complex multi-count indictments.
Fleeing a Police Officer
Fleeing charges are often paired with other offenses and can escalate quickly. I examine the full circumstances of the stop and pursuit to build your defense.
Burglary
Burglary cases often involve DNA and forensic evidence. My specialized training allows me to evaluate that evidence at a level most defense attorneys cannot.
Felon in Possession
Felon in possession charges are federal-level serious. I examine the search, the chain of custody, and the forensic evidence to challenge the prosecution's case.
Criminal Damage to Property
Criminal damage charges can range from misdemeanor to felony. I review the evidence and circumstances to build the most effective defense possible.
The Barron Law Approach to Criminal Defense
What to Expect
Initial Consultation
We start with what happened, what you are facing, and what matters most to you right now. I listen carefully before offering any assessment or advice.
Evidence Review
I obtain and review the available evidence, including police reports, lab results, witness statements, video, and other records that may matter. I do not assume the state’s version tells the whole story.
Case Strategy
Once we understand the evidence, I develop a strategy around your case, your goals, and what is actually at stake for you. No two cases, and no two people are exactly alike.
Motions & Hearings
When the law gives us a basis to challenge evidence, the charges, or the way the case was investigated or handled, I use the appropriate motions and hearings to do it.
Negotiation or Trial
I pursue the best possible resolution that fits with your goals. Some cases are best resolved through negotiation. Others need to go to a trial. I will be honest with you about what I see, explain the choices in front of you, and give you the information you need to decide which path best protects your goals and your future.
