"First in for most I want to thank Mathew Mankey & his Paralegal Heidi Kempin. They saved my husband life!! My husband was facing 30+ years, with the hard work, dedication to his job, spending time to get to know us as a family, to know exactly what was going on. Mathew & Heidi went over & beyond the expectations we had. They treated us as family. They answered every phone call/text message/email we sent no matter what time of day or night it was! I can’t thank them enough!!! We will forever hold a special place in our hearts for them. Always referred them to everyone! My husband ended up with 36 months, that was a blessing. Thank God Mathew was his lawyer, not a lot of lawyers actually take the time to get to know you, & fight for what is right! When & if you use him. It’s worth every penny! Just know you have a stand up guy here! Thank you again Mathew & Heidi!"

Being extremely tough is one thing but this attorney actually cares about his clients. He went way above and beyond for me and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you Mr. Mankey

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2020I traveled to California with two friends. Unbeknownst to me, one of my friends purchased over 100 pounds of marijuana gummies and wax. We were stopped in southern Minnesota by a State Trooper. The car was searched, and we were all charged with First Degree Controlled Substance Crimes. I was looking at 56 to 78 months in prison and I did not even know there were drugs in the car. I hired Mr. Mankey. He challenged the legality of the stop of the car and the scope and expansion of the search. He wrote a extremely persuasive memorandum and cross examined the Trooper for almost three hours. By the time Mr. Mankey was through with him, he had developed a facial tick and was so humiliated that he forgot his gun in the courtroom! The prosecuting attorney dismissed the case against me. Mr. Mankey beat him up on the stand so badly, he did not even wait for the judge to rule on the suppression of evidence, he just dismissed the case. The prosecutor even complimented Mr. Mankey on his cross examination! I now still have a clean record and I owe it all to Mr. Mankey and the wonderful job he did exposing the illegality of the Trooper’s actions. I highly recommend him. He only handles serious felony cases and he takes them seriously. He kept me informed about my case and always promptly returned my phone calls – he went above and beyond; he was worth every penny I spent. Thank you, Matthew & Heidi, for EVERYTHING!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
