If you have been arrested or charged with a criminal offense, you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. You need to make sure that you understand exactly what you are being charged with and what is going to happen to you in the courtroom. All criminal charges are serious and carry the potential for serious consequences. Do not fight these charges alone.. My name is Christopher Stocke and I routinely represent clients arrested or charged with drunk driving (DWI / DUI) , drug crimes , assault as well as many other criminal offenses. I have the experience to represent any criminal defendant at the misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony level. I commonly assist clients with petitioning the court for an expungement, which is the sealing of their records for a criminal conviction in their past.. Serving clients throughout Lake Superior's North Shore and Eastern Minnesota since 2004.. As a criminal defense lawyer, it is my duty to aggressively fight to have my clients' rights upheld. I also assist my clients to make certain they retain all their options and I also strive to protect their best interests. It is possible to defend against criminal charges and get the charges reduced or dismissed. Don't assume that your only option is to plead guilty and take your chances.. The State of Minnesota has the burden of proving you guilty of the crime. I will take a hard look at the charges and the evidence gathered by the police and the prosecutor and will evaluate the merits of the case against you. It is extremely important that you have someone on your side when you have been charged of a crime.

I have been practicing law since 1994 exclusively in the area of personal injury litigation.  I was a partner at the firm of Hall Law, P.A. in St. Cloud, Minnesota until 2008. In 2009, I formed the firm of Stephens Law, P.A. I currently maintain offices in both Duluth and St. Cloud, Minnesota.. I have successfully represented hundreds of personal injury clients in a wide variety of personal injury claims.  My experience includes work on cases ranging from motor vehicle and slip/fall accidents to cases involving wrongful death, brain injury, burns, organ/limb loss, and toxic exposure.  I have successfully tried jury cases to verdict in state district court and have successfully worked on appeals, having argued both in the Minnesota Court of Appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court.. I have been nominated by my legal peers as a Rising Star of Minnesota in Minnesota Law & Politics magazine.  I am an active member of the Minnesota State Bar Association. I serve as a neutral arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association.  I have also served as President of the John E. Simonett Chapter of the American Inns of Court, an organization of judges and lawyers whose purpose is to foster excellence in ethics, civility, and legal skills.. D. Education. I am a 1993 cum laude graduate of William Mitchell College of Law.  My prior education includes graduating magna cum laude from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, with undergraduate degrees in English, French, and Political Science.  I also studied internationally at Appleby College in Toronto, Ontario, and at the Université Paul Valery in Montpellier, France.. I am admitted to practice in both Minnesota State Court and Federal District Court.

I began the practice of law in 1998.  I spent 18 years  with another well-established Duluth law firm accepting the invitation to join the law firm of SiebenCarey.  I work primarily on cases involving car accident, product liability, wrongful death and workers compensation law.  I also handle professional negligence cases.. Although my personal office is in Duluth, at SiebenCarey, I handle cases across Minnesota and Wisconsin, including the Twin Cities metro area out of the Minneapolis office.. I only work for individuals - never for the insurance companies.  I also handle cases on a contingency basis - meaning, I only get paid at the conclusion of the case if I am successful, and only as a percentage of what I am able to recover for my client.  If there is no recovery, there is no fee.

I am a Labor and Employment Law Specialist certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association (MSBA).  A MSBA certification is obtained only if a certain percentage of an attorney's practice is devoted to a certain area, the attorney receives the endorsements of judges and other attorneys, and passes a written test in the particular area of the law.. In addition to being a certified specialist, I have been an Administrative Law Judge (1994-2003) and have handled litigation in the courtroom since 1974 as a prosecutor, defense counsel, employee's counsel or judge.. I am experienced in all areas of employment law, from hiring to termination and everything in between.  I have handled many employment cases in the courtroom, or on appeal, including non-compete, non-solicit, confidentiality agreements, minority sharehoilder/owner matters,  and similar cases.
