Profile
Elite Criminal Defense and Federal Advocacy
Keyser Law, P.A. is a premier criminal defense firm located in the historic Grain Exchange Building in downtown Minneapolis. Founded by Christopher Keyser, a board-certified Criminal Law Specialist-a distinction held by less than 3% of Minnesota attorneys-the firm provides aggressive and strategic representation for individuals facing serious state and federal charges. Mr. Keyser’s background distinguishes him from many of his peers; he is a Judge Advocate (JAG) in the U.S. Army Reserve (Major), bringing a disciplined, military-grade precision to his courtroom strategy. This experience is particularly valuable for veterans and service members who may be facing unique legal challenges.
Comprehensive Defense Practice
The firm handles a wide spectrum of criminal matters, ensuring that every client receives a defense tailored to the specific nuances of their case. Key practice areas include:
- Federal Criminal Defense: Expert handling of complex federal indictments, including white-collar crimes, conspiracy, and drug trafficking.
- DWI / DUI Defense: Challenging the validity of traffic stops, breath tests, and field sobriety tests to protect driving privileges and clean records.
- Violent Crimes: Defending against serious allegations such as assault, domestic violence, and homicide with a focus on self-defense claims and evidence suppression.
- Drug Offenses: Representing clients charged with possession, distribution, or manufacturing, often leveraging Fourth Amendment rights to challenge search warrants.
- Expungements: Helping eligible clients seal their criminal records to restore their reputation and employment opportunities.
Recognized for Excellence
Christopher Keyser’s commitment to his clients has earned him numerous accolades, including recognition as a ‘Super Lawyers Rising Star’ and a ‘Top 100 Trial Lawyer.’ The firm operates on a flat-fee basis for most cases, providing financial transparency and eliminating the stress of hourly billing. This approach allows the legal team to focus entirely on winning the case rather than tracking minutes. Clients consistently praise the firm for its clear communication, 24/7 availability, and ability to secure dismissals or acquittals in difficult situations.
We treat every client with the dignity they deserve and fight tirelessly to protect their freedom and their future.
Located in the heart of the Minneapolis legal district, Keyser Law, P.A. is just steps away from the Hennepin County Government Center and the Federal Courthouse, ensuring immediate action when it matters most.
