With an exclusive focus on DUI & criminal defense, we provide you with a professional service with a personal approach because we understand that everyone’s case is different. You are more than just a mugshot of someone who was arrested but a person with real-life experiences and real-life effects of a conviction potentially on your family, job, and even your living situation that cannot be ignored.  We attend national conferences and training sessions to continue to become the best criminal defense attorneys possible. 

✅ Team Approach to Surpass Your Goals and Expectations

Our entire team of attorneys and staff represent you. This means when you hire Barnes & Fersten you are hiring multiple of our attorneys, rather than just 1 attorney, to review all the State’s evidence such as dash and/or body camera footage, discussing the legal defenses applicable to your case and perfecting your legal strategy to guide how we defend your case.
