The Lawyer You Choose: A Minnesota Institution
”The Lawyer You Choose” is a phrase that has resonated with Minnesotans for generations, and it belongs to Meshbesher & Spence. Founded in 1961 by the legendary Ron Meshbesher, this firm is arguably the most recognizable legal brand in the state. Unlike many firms that focus narrowly on one area, Meshbesher & Spence has built a powerhouse reputation in both Personal Injury and Criminal Defense. They have handled some of the most high-profile cases in Minnesota history, earning national acclaim for their courtroom victories. Located in their own distinctive building on Park Avenue, the firm continues to uphold a legacy of fighting for the underdog against powerful interests, whether that be the government or insurance giants.
Diverse Legal Expertise
The firm’s size and history allow them to maintain specialized departments staffed by experts in their respective fields:
- Personal Injury: Recovering over a billion dollars for victims of car accidents, medical malpractice, and mass torts.
- Criminal Defense: Providing elite defense for everything from traffic offenses and DUIs to serious felonies and white-collar crimes.
- Civil Rights: fearless advocacy for individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by law enforcement or government entities.
- Class Actions: leading the charge in mass litigation to protect consumers on a large scale.
A Client-First Philosophy
Despite their size and fame, Meshbesher & Spence remains deeply committed to personal service. They understand that calling a lawyer is often the result of a crisis. Their attorneys are known for their compassion and ability to explain complex legal processes in plain English. For injury cases, they operate on a contingency fee basis, and for defense matters, they offer transparent fee structures. The firm’s longevity means they have seen it all; there is virtually no legal scenario they are not prepared to handle. 🌟
