Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys Representing You In And Out Of Court

Last updated on April 10, 2025

If you’ve been charged with or are being investigated for a crime in the Brainerd, Grand Rapids or St. Cloud Area, the criminal defense attorneys at Ed Shaw Law should be the first call you make. Criminal defense attorney Edward Shaw, who has won two felony jury trials in the last two years, works hard to protect your rights and aggressively pursue your defense.

When you hire us, you hire a criminal defense team with over 50 years of combined experience in criminal law.

We represent people charged with all types of crimes in Minnesota, including:

  • Drunk driving (DWI or DUI): A drunk driving charge can permanently impact your life and jeopardize your driving privileges. We work to keep you out of jail and on the road.
  • Theft, burglary, tourist crimes and other property crimes: One or more property crimes on your record can lead to severe consequences, so we fight for the lightest outcome available.
  • College crimes: We believe that a young person’s future should not be over because of one mistake, so we strive to give you a second chance.
  • Drug possession, sales or trafficking: Minnesota takes drug crime incredibly seriously. We work to reduce the consequences and get you treatment if needed.
  • Assault, domestic violence and violent crimes: You could face probation, prison time and reduced custody of your children if convicted of a violent crime, so we fight these charges tenaciously.
  • Fraud and other white collar crimes: Do not underestimate the severity of a white collar crime. With federal minimum sentences of years, our lawyers try to get charges reduced and sentences lessened.

Our criminal defense attorneys are not afraid to take cases to trial, and our lawyers are familiar faces in the courtrooms around Brainerd and Minnesota. Whether we tell your side of the story in a jury trial or negotiate out of the courtroom, you can count on our team for competent, experienced and compassionate representation when it matters most.

Our No-Nonsense Approach To Criminal Defense

When we discuss your case with you, we are going to tell you what we think is and is not possible with the various strategies available to us. We are not going to simply tell you want you want to hear just to sign you up as a client.

After you have had the opportunity to ask any questions you may have, we immediately begin building a defense that takes your wishes into account.

We fight for the best possible outcome for you. Ed Shaw Law will be at your side every step of the way.
