incredibly effective
I had the privilege of being represented by Dane. I can confidently say that he is a top tier defense attorney. His expertise and professionalism are unmatched. Dane is incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected, which was evident throughout the entire process. His understanding of the legal system, and strong relationships within the law enforcement and judicial community, proved to be incredibly effective in my case and cases of other people that I know that had also hired Dane.
Dane is not only a highly skilled attorney but also someone who truly cares about his clients. He was always available to answer my questions, explain legal complexities, and offer honest advice. Dane is known as one of the best defense attorneys in the area for a reason.

Convinced the Judge
After the nightmare of receiving a 3rd Degree DWI, I knew I needed legal counsel. Dane was the person I turned to, and asked for his help. He walked me through the entire process of expectations, repercussions, red tape, fines, and court appearances. He was empathetic, professional, and direct, clearly guiding me each step of the way.
Dane was flexible and dependable, as he met via Zoom, took phone calls, and was also available to meet at his office. The issue I am most grateful for was that he was able to convince the judge to allow me an alternative to an ankle monitor. Instead, he arranged for me to use an at-home blower similar to an Intoxalock used in a car. I was able to go to work, then use the device once I got home, to fulfill my obligation to the court. This was previously not done by judges in my county, however, Dane got the job done.
I am also most grateful for Dane’s compassion and kindness. His consummate professionalism and background knowledge was very evident in every step.
I would highly recommend Ringstrom DeKrey to anyone who finds themselves in my position.

Harassment Case Dismissed
When you walk into Ringstrom DeKrey, you're treated like part of the family. They look at a bad situation and take care of you. They are thorough in contacting you, giving frequent updates as the case is going on.
They're prompt at getting back to you, returning calls and emails. They don't talk at you, but talk with you. They let me make decisions, but gave me good advice about what to do. It was a great experience being their client, and I totally would recommend it to anybody.

Amazing Trial Attorneys
Bruce Ringstrom Jr. is an amazing trial lawyer! What started as a domestic assault turned into being charged with felony 1st degree and 3rd degree assaults too. I thought my life was over, but he won me my life. A jury deliberated and found me not guilty in a little over an hour. I pray to God I never go through this again, but he would be the only lawyer I would hire.
He is very hardworking and dedicated, very honest, and doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. For anyone needing a lawyer, I highly recommend Bruce. He will give a 100% and he's a damn good trial lawyer. He's not afraid to go to trial and he has won many big trial cases. That's what you want in a lawyer.

Saved Years of My Life
I was completely blindsided by a felony theft charge. It stemmed from wire fraud, committed by a hacker, at a company I was previously employed at.
As a devoted wife, mother of two, hockey and baseball team lead, and known member of our community, I was devastated. The maximum sentence was 20 years imprisonment; $100,000 fine; or both. My head was spinning and I had a hard time getting through the days and being there for my family.
Living over four hours away (from the county I was being charged in) proved to be a challenge when trying to retain an attorney. I received a recommendation from a local, well respected, attorney and am so grateful I was connected with Bruce Ringstrom Jr. and Dane DeKrey.
They understood the complexity of the case and took their time to listen to my story and get to know more about me and my family. Their assurances, open communication, and dedication to my case paid off.
They worked with the prosecutor and investigator and my charges were dismissed! This nightmare is over.
The time and energy they put into getting me through this was remarkable. Their patience and kindness will never be forgotten during those dark moments in my life. They knew what I had at stake and helped me to get my truth out there. I can now confidentially go back to my life and I have them to thank for that.

best possible outcome
Dane DeKrey was my attorney when I was charged with two federal drug crimes: distribution of a controlled substance and distribution of controlled substance that caused bodily harm.
The best thing about Mr. DeKrey is that he isn’t the average lawyer who only looks at the dollar signs of your case, he actually cares about the people he defends and believes in fighting for a fair sentence. He fights for what is right and has a lot of drive and ambition to do whatever it takes – even if the odds are stacked against him.
I could tell right away that he wanted to get to know me and my story and not just about why I was charged. I could see he cared. Dane is easy to talk to and was able to break down each part of the law so it didn’t feel so overwhelming. He did a great job explaining key details about the law that some may overlook.
I felt confident that I was getting the best possible outcome for my case – the sentence Dane achieved was even better than what I expected. Dane visited me once if not twice weekly to check in and give updates about the case. He definitely exceeded my expectations when representing me compared to other lawyers in the past.
If you want someone who truly cares about the people he is defending – an attorney that genuinely cares about your well-being and the job he does – Dane DeKrey is the attorney for you.

Went Above and Beyond
Dane answered my phone call on one of the hardest days of my life, when my husband was arrested on federal criminal charges. He patiently helped us navigate a multi-year case. His innovative ideas and knowledge of the law resulted in the charges being drastically reduced.
Dane cares about his clients; evidenced to me by the fact that he has continued to help us through each step of a very difficult process. He never hesitates to answer our questions and always fights for not only my husband, but our entire family.

Manslaughter Trial Win
Our son was involved in a very tragic accident that shook an entire community in Minnesota. From the time Bruce Sr. came to us, we knew we had met a very special attorney. He treated us like one of his own from the start. As he continued to hear the story, he realized he wasn't only dealing with one family, but a village. He was very clear, very understanding, answered our questions — which were many — and calmed our fears, not only for us as parents, but our family as well. He told us what could happen, what was most likely going to happen, and how he would help us through our most terrifying days.
Bruce Sr., Bruce Jr., and later Dane DeKrey handled this delicate case with dignity and respect for all involved. They were very thorough, worked very hard, and only wanted the best outcome for our son. Ringstrom Law went above and beyond our expectations to recreate the case and scenario, with experts from around the country, so the judge was able to actually “feel” what it was like at the time of the accident.
We would highly recommend Ringstrom DeKrey to be your criminal defense attorney, should you ever need one. They helped us through a very tragic time in our lives and made us feel like we were part of their family from the start. Thank you, Ringstrom DeKrey, and all who are part of your team.

Federal Drug Case Dismissed
Dane brought my case back from the dead. It started out with a state drug charge. My state lawyer tried to get it dismissed, but the judge denied his motion. Then my state charges were dropped and the case went federal.
That's when Dane became my lawyer. He reviewed my case and decided to try get my case dismissed again, but this time a different way than my state lawyer. He worked his butt off for months researching and writing my motion. I didn't think it was going to work, but I was impressed with his willingness to try.
To everyone's surprise (including mine), Dane's motion won and my case was dismissed.
Let me say that again. He got a federal drug case dismissed after a previous lawyer tried and failed. That's who Dane is.
He took a case that seemed dead-on-arrival, revived it, and won it. I owe 17 years of my life to him. I'd be in prison without him.
He's the lawyer you want when you want someone to fight for you no matter the odds. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, my first call will be to Dane.

Worth Every Penny
I've never been down as dark of a road as I was on when I was arrested in my case.
It was a felony drug charge and I was looking at years in prison. But everything changed when I hired Mr. DeKrey.
The moment he became my lawyer he began working miracles. He eventually got me a deal that included no jail time and a diversion program that makes it so that eventually nothing will be on my record.
Both my probation officer and the judge said that they had never seen a deal as good as mine in such a serious case. That's when I knew hiring Dane was worth every penny.
Words really can't express my gratitude. He literally saved years of my life. I 100% recommend him to anyone who's charged with a crime and needs help.

time served
Bruce has represented me twice now and both times he did an incredible job. I was looking at an 18-month prison sentence and walked out of the court house reinstated on probation with time served. It couldn't have gone better for me. Thank you, Bruce, for the hard work, fair price, and job well done.
— Jason, Minnesota Client
unparalleled service
Bruce Ringstrom Sr. is outstanding. He was hired to help my partner through a difficult situation, and he went above and beyond to provide unparalleled service. Bruce communicated with us effectively through every step, and helped us resolve issues swiftly. Bruce also treated us with great care and respect, accepting calls even on weekends and assisting us with the unexpected loss of one of our family members.
To say that I am pleased with the service and outcome would be an understatement. Bruce is knowledgeable and passionate about his work, and it definitely shows.
