An Experienced Criminal Defense Law Firm Focused on Making Your Life Easier

Keegan Law Office is here to make your life easier, not more difficult. Though it sounds simple, we see that other attorneys sometimes lose sight of this principle. For us, it means helping clients through some of the most difficult issues they face—accusations of criminal conduct, jail sentences, and restrictions on the freedoms we enjoy as citizens, such as the Constitutional right to bear arms.

Making life easier for our clients takes dedication, organization, passion, experience, intelligence and creativity. We’re led by Kelly Keegan, a Minnesota attorney practicing since 2006, who brings these characteristics to every case. We are licensed in both Minnesota state courts as well as United States Federal Court for the District of Minnesota. Our firm serves clients across the state, drawing on deep experience and niche knowledge to achieve positive results for clients.

It Takes More Than Luck

Why should someone facing the legal system retain Keegan Law Office? Because it takes more than luck to win against aggressive prosecutors. It takes more than luck to work through the inconsistent patchwork of gun laws. It takes more than luck to preserve your reputation and your good name in today's society.

It Takes Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys

We’re a law firm that blends aggressiveness with thoughtfulness, speed with thoroughness, and attention to detail with big-picture thinking. As a Keegan Law Office client, you will be treated with respect, you’ll get answers to your questions along the way, and you’ll get 100 percent of our attention when it comes time to make your case.

Those are our promises. That’s what we mean when we say we’re here to make your life easier.
