When I am not practicing law, I parent two Daschund pups and one very active tot with my husband in Northeast Minneapolis.

I am an attorney practicing in the areas of estate planning and small business with a special focus on food and agriculture businesses and elder law. I enjoy helping people with difficult transitions, whether that be life transitions following a difficult diagnosis or the generational transfer of a small farm or family business. I am particularly passionate about ensuring that small businesses and farms survive and thrive during and after the transfer of the business from one generation to the next. I also offer my services on a contract basis to other attorneys whose clients need specialized expertise in elder law and food and agriculture law.

Dan Koewler is licensed to practice law by not only the United States Supreme Court, but also the Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota and the Minnesota Federal Court system.  Dan represents Minnesota clients against both a broad array of criminal charges and after-the-fact assistance with expungements.. He is a member of several organizations dedicated to criminal defense, including the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (MACDL) the National College of DUI Defense (NCDD) and is a founding member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Associataion (DUIDLA). He is the acting Secretary for the exclusive, invite-only Minnesota Society for Criminal Justice (MSCJ) and is on the Executive Council for the Criminal Law section of the Minnesota State Bar Association.. In his years of practice, Dan has developed extensive experience in contested criminal matters, ranging from 8 week-long first degree murder trials that involve extensive expert testimony regarding DNA, to day-long contested hearings challenging the scientific basis for DWI tests. Alongside his work in local district courts, Dan also regularly represents clients before the Minnesota Court of Appeals on either criminal appeals or Implied Consent civil appeals.. In 2010 Dan was selected by Minnesota Lawyer as one of only 25 “Up and Coming Attorneys” by Minnesota was actively involved in the work of not only the Source Code Coalition, but also acted as an attorney for the plaintiff-intervenors in the Federal Court settlement that ultimately resulted in the disclosure of the source code to the now-retired Intoxilyzer 5000EN. When he’s not in court, Dan teaches other defense attorneys on the art of DWI defense, including his recurring Webcast on the “Chemical Testing” chapter of Minnesota’s “DWI Deskbook” (he also authored several chapters in that publication).. In 2014 and 2015 Dan was selected to Super Lawyer's list of "Rising Stars" a distinction reserved for 2.5% of attorneys practicing in his field. Dan regularly blogs on criminal defense issues - primarily DWI issues – on the award winning “Minnesota DWI Defense Blog.” In addition to teaching duties, he also provides pro bono work for non-profit organizations that deal with criminal law issues; he was the sole author of the amicus curiae brief filed on behalf of the Minnesota Society for Criminal Justice in the Minnesota Supreme Court case of Patino v. One 2007 Chevrolet and again in the Minnesota Supreme Court case of Axelberg v. Comm’r of Pub. Safety. He is the author of the amicus curiae brief in the recent Minnesota Supreme Court Case of State v. Bernard.

Charles Ramsay is Minnesota's ONLY Board Certified DWI lawyer (recognized by the American Bar Association, not the MN Bar Association), and is also Board Certified in Criminal Defense by the Minnesota Bar Association. He practices primarily in the area of criminal defense, DWI and civil forfeitures. He has obtained acquittals in nearly every type of case from DWI to murder. He prides himself on being on the cutting edge of criminal defense. He helped pioneer a number of defenses in Minnesota, including faulty eyewitness identification, false confessions and the right of a defendant to present alternative suspects to a jury. In 2006, Ramsay testified in Court about the shortcomings of breath testing devices such as the Intoxilyzer 5000.. Ramsay has created new DWI defense strategies and is making massive changes in Minnesota DUI Law.  A few examples are Urine Testing, Blood Testing, The Implied Consent Law.  He also has successfully challenged both the administration of tests, as well as the source code behind The Intoxilyzer 5000, the breath test machine used in Minnesota.  Forty-Five years of established Minnesota DWI is in the process of dramatic change...change that can mean new opportunities for your defense!. *DWI Law Dead? -- Is the Minnesota Implied Consent Law Dead? His Appellate Victories and Supreme Court Cases!*Blood -- Using Constitutional Right of Confrontation to Beat Blood Alcohol Testing to Win! *Urine -- Judge Agrees: All Urine Test Results "Absurd"; Will Minnesota Urine Testing Finally Flushed Forever?*Breath -- Ramsay Exposes Lack of Required Minimum Maintenance; Are All Intoxilyzer Results Inadmissible?*Source Code -- He's Intervening in the Federal Law Suit vs. Intoxilyzer Manufacturer; while trial court judges have dismissed hundreds of breath test cases .... An effective appellate lawyer, Chuck successfully litigated Genin v. 1996 Mercury Marquis before the Minnesota Supreme Court, which ruled that vehicle owners need not pay storage fees when they win their forfeiture case.. In 2004 he prevailed before the Court of Appeals in State v. Bergh.  This case limits prosecutors' ability to use prior convictions and license revocations to enhance subsequent charges.  In yet another case that year, Chuck represented the appellant in State v. Blom, before the Minnesota Supreme Court.. In other notable appellate victories, the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that a police officer may not stop a driver merely for swerving in his own lane of traffic in State v. Hugger, which he argued all the way to the Supreme Court.  In State v. Bergerson, the appellate court recognized police officers may not purge the taint of an illegal stop of a motor vehicle when the driver attempts to flee.. Ramsay prevailed in State v. Sickmann, where he convinced the Minnesota Court of Appeals to grant Sickmann a new trial.  The court agreed with Ramsay that the law which permitted blood tests to be admitted was unconstitutional as it violated the confrontation clause.. Most recently, the court of appeals agreed the DWI test refusal law is unconstitutional.  Unfortunately, the state appealed the case of State v. Netland and the Supreme Court reversed the lower appellate court's decision.. See what issues he is pioneering today:
