Maureen Williams

We help the accused by listening, protecting, preparing and caring.

Since 1993, where the Law Offices of Maureen Williams started in Minneapolis, we have devoted our practice to only criminal defense. You will be asked to be a part of our team, as no one knows the facts better than you. Together we will gather all the evidence, hidden and apparent, the forgotten, and your discoveries. We will not pressure you to plead guilty, and we will brainstorm together to figure out the best course of action: trial or no trial.

Allow us the opportunity to listen to you, work with you, fight for you today, and get the results that are possible with great legal representation.
