The criminal justice system forces one individual to defend themself against the entire might of the State of Minnesota. I want you to know that you do not need to stand alone. My name is Baxter Zaiger and I am a criminal defense attorney licensed in the State of Minnesota. I graduated cum laude from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in December of 2018. While in law school, I was an editor for the Mitchell Hamline Law Review, law clerk at a criminal defense firm, and teacher to first year law students. My passion for criminal defense goes beyond representing people through the justice system, I believe in educating my clients so that they know what to expect when it comes to court proceedings as well as engaging with law enforcement.. Before attending law school, I gradutated from the University of Minnesota where I studied political science as well as economics. I was also the president of the Economic Student Organization where we focused on pairing students with Fortune 500 Internships. I also had the great opportunity of creating a scholarship for economic students who showed the most "GRIT.". Outside of the law I enjoying going on walks with my wife and dog, fishing, and watching movies. I am also an avid college wrestling fan.

Take a look at the caption of your summons or complaint. It reads, “State of Minnesota v. [insert your name here].” As you see, the American criminal justice system is adversarial in nature—the government versus you. This is inherently unfair. The government possesses and uses a variety of resources in furtherance of proving you guilty of a crime. These resources include prosecutors, investigators, peace officers, and taxpayer money. This is unfair, as you don’t have access to the same resources. I want to help level the playing field by fighting aggressively and ethically to preserve your rights. When the government charges you with a crime, it accuses you of breaking a law. My job is twofold: 1) to ensure the government follows its own laws when it tries to meet its burden to prove you guilty; and 2) to assert every possible defense afforded to you by law. The system works best when the defense attorney works zealously to ensure the courts and prosecutors play by the rules.. As a criminal defense attorney, I defend my clients zealously and effectively. I use my understanding of the legal landscape to assert my clients’ constitutional rights both inside and outside the courtroom. My experience with the criminal justice system began with the 10th Judicial District Public Defender’s Office where I represented over 1,000 clients. I continued my career as a criminal defense attorney by working privately at a mid-sized firm in Anoka. I formed Repka Law, LLC in Saint Paul with the vision of using my legal knowledge, skills, and experience without the overhead costs of mid- to large-sized firms. This means you get big firm results for solo practitioner prices. Don’t take a chance with your defense. Hire the right defense attorney who understands the system and isn’t afraid to fight for your rights.

While my undergraduate degree is in Social Work, early in my career I represented a client charged with First Degree Murder.  The case involved an early form of DNA evidence.  While my science background was limited to Freshman Biology at the College of St. Catherine, I dedicated myself to learning the fundamentals of science so I could adequately represent my client.  Since then, I have had the opportunity to represent clients in cases with many types of forensic science.  I enjoy being active in the forensic science community and have had the privilege of serving on many forensic science based committees and boards.

Nico is the managing attorney at Ratkowski Law PLLC, where he represents individuals in a broad range of immigration and criminal matters including asylum, removal proceedings, family-based petitions, adjustment of status, administrative appeals, bond redetermination requests, jurisdictional concerns, employment, tax issues, and motion practice.. Nico Ratkowski was first exposed to immigration law in 2016 when he started working as a law clerk at Contreras Edin Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Learning quickly, Nico hit the ground running when he became a licensed attorney in January 2019. Since that time, Nico has practiced immigration law full time, cutting his teeth in the trenches during the Trump administration and learning how to best protect his clients from govermental overreach and destructive policies that sought to discourage immigration by separating families, incarcerating immigrants for seemingly no reason, and intentionally sowing confusion amongst immigrants and their attorneys. Undeterred, Nico forged ahead and taught himself how to litigate unconstitutional policies and practices in federal court because he saw that federal courts were the last bastion between the Constitution and Executive tyranny. Along the way, Nico picked up a variety of skills in all facets of immigration, becoming adept at removal defense, obtaining immigration bonds and challenging bond denials through reconsideration requests, filing family- and employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applications and petitions, hardship petitions, waiver petitions, humanitarian requests, and otherwise navigating the immigration labyrinth.. In the course of his practice, Nico Ratkowski gained experience in criminal matters, first assisting other attorneys with tricky criminal sexual conduct cases before moving into other areas such as guns, drugs, sex trafficking, conspiracy, and murder.

Nico has continued to expand his areas of criminal practice and is more than capable of handling any type of criminal matter that arises..

My name is Bethany Suhreptz.  I started Suhreptz Consumer Law to follow my passion for helping people who have fallen on hard times. I have personal experience with being in debt and struggling to find a way out. I promise to fight for your rights and to help you find the best way forward while providing compassionate and responsible assistance.. I am originally from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. While in high school I worked with one of the busiest bankruptcy attorneys in the state, Randall B. Blake. I graduated from West Lyon High School in Inwood, Iowa, in 2000.. I attended the University of Minnesota from 2000 to 2004 and earned a degree in Philosophy. During the 2001 school year, I studied abroad at the University of Essex in Colchester, England, and fell in love with all things British.. In 2009 I graduated from William Mitchell College of Law. While at William Mitchell I focused on bankruptcy and consumer law courses and was a staff member on the William Mitchell Law Review. My article, <em>Key Employee Retention Plans, Executive Compensation, and BAPCPA: No Rest for Congress, No More for Execs</em>, was published in the William Mitchell Law Review Volume 35.. Throughout college and law school I worked in the legal field. I was a case assistant and legal secretary at a small firm focusing on highly complex asbestos insurance coverage litigation. I also worked as a legal secretary for four years at one of Minnesota's biggest and oldest law firms. My work as a secretary makes me uniquely qualified to handle the day-to-day work of lawyering.. Since becoming a licensed attorney I have handled both Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcies in Minnesota. I also worked with the busiest bankruptcy attorney in South Dakota for over a year and represented clients at 341 hearings in front of bankruptcy trustees. I have also appeared at eviction matters and in federal court in foreclosure defense lawsuits.. Outside of work I enjoy reading, dancing, and going to as many live music shows as possible. I am also a former volunteer with A Rotta Love Plus, a rescue organization that fosters and re-homes rottweilers and pit bulls.

My love for immigrants and diverse cultures started as a child when my family hosted exchange students from Guatemala, Mexico and France. As a 15 year old I was fortunate to travel to the former Soviet Union with an exchange program aimed at promoting peace through cultural understanding. That experience broadened my perspective and provided me with a global outlook that I carry with me to this day. In law school, I participated in an Asylum Law Project representing a young Honduran boy who was being deported. That experience solidified my commitment to immigration law. I have worked with many clients from around the world and truly enjoy learning about their lifestyle and culture. I couldn't ask for a better job.
