Overview
Dave Risk has earned a reputation for excellence as a criminal defense attorney through his aggressive representation of thousands of clients over the past seventeen years. Dave has represented people charged with all types of crimes ranging from misdemeanor driving offenses to multiple counts of first-degree murder.
Dave began his career as a public defender in Ramsey County after graduating seventh in his law school class. After only two years he began teaching classes to other defense attorneys on the best practices in DWI defense as well as other criminal defense topics.
In 2005 Dave joined a large and successful private criminal defense law firm where he initially focused much of his work on DWI and Implied Consent cases. Dave became a Partner at Halberg Criminal Defense in early 2013. Since that time he has spent more of his time defending high profile Criminal Sexual Conduct cases and helping other clients whose cases have brought significant media attention against them. Dave is particularly skilled at finding novel legal issues and successfully litigating those issues through powerful cross-examination skills. As a result his peers named him a “SuperLawyer” or “Rising Star” ten different times among the many awards he has earned.
