“I was charged with murder and Jeff Dean won not guilty verdicts on all counts. The evidence against me appeared insurmountable. The police said that I confessed the crime to them. My fingerprints were on the gun. I was found at the crime scene. The case seemed impossible to win and Jeff won!”

D.R. Former Client

“I could have spent a million dollars hiring O.J. Simpson’s dream team of lawyers and not gotten a better result. I was accused of a serious felony and Jeff Dean won my case. ”

“I am a Criminal Law Professor at the University of Minnesota and have taught Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure since 1971. I’ve also written Criminal Law, (12th edition 2017), and Criminal Procedure (10th edition, 2018). I’ve known criminal defense attorney Jeff Dean since he was my student in 1989. No student worked harder, determined to do his best. I was convinced that if I ever needed legal advice, I’d turn to Jeff Dean. And, if I ever had to go to court, I’d want Jeff Dean by my side.

Whenever my students ask me to refer them to an attorney, I tell them to call Jeff Dean. When I see Jeff on the TV news or read a story in the print media about another high-profile case he has won, I’m proud to tell anyone in sight—Hey! I know him. So, if you want a top tier lawyer, call Jeff Dean.”

Joel Samaha – Criminal Law Professor

“My domestic assault charges were dismissed, thanks to Jeff. The consequences of these charges would have been severe. Jeff Dean won my case and my life is back to normal”

D.B. Former Client

“Jeff Dean got my felony assault charges dismissed. I would have gone to jail for a long time if convicted, and my life would have been in shambles. Now I have no worries.”

“My name is Julian J. Zweber. I am an attorney in St. Paul who concentrates in Elder Law. When I have a client who is facing a serious criminal charge I refer him or her to attorney Jeff Dean. I have known Jeff for over 20 years. He is an excellent, experienced and ethical criminal defense attorney who is highly regarded in the community. He has won numerous dismissals and acquittals in cases ranging from DWI to sex crime cases to homicide. I would highly recommend Jeff if you are facing any criminal charge.”

“I thought that I had no chance of overcoming the drug charges filed against me, after the police claimed they found cocaine in my pocket and claimed I confessed. Thanks to Jeff Dean I was found NOT GUILTY!”

D.B. Former client

Jeff, thank you for making my case go away quietly. It was so embarrassing and worrisome to have these sex charges. You got the charges dismissed and nobody found out. Thank you!!”

My name is John Moore. As the long-time owner of a large nightclub in downtown Minneapolis, the Saloon, I am frequently approached by customers who have been charged with a DWI or other offense and are looking for a good defense attorney. I always refer them to criminal defense attorney Jeff Dean. I have known Jeff Dean since he first became an attorney in 1995. I have followed his high-profile wins in the media and have seen him interviewed on the television news many times over the years. I am very involved in Minneapolis and St. Paul communities, having sat on boards of charitable organizations, worked in support of political candidates, and as a nightclub owner. As such, I know when people talk, and the talk about Jeff Dean is that he is an excellent lawyer, respected by the judges and prosecutors, cares about his clients, and wins cases. Jeff has a great reputation, is honest and nice, and fights hard for the accused. I have referred people accused of DWI, drug crimes, and sex offenses to Jeff Dean for over 20 years. I highly recommend Jeff to anybody charged with a crime anywhere in Minnesota.”

“I was charged with burglary after my DNA was found at the scene of the crime. Jeff Dean argued that my DNA could have been at the scene in a number of innocent ways. The Judge agreed with Jeff and dismissed the charge!”

K.L. Former Client

“My job and my very future were at stake when I was charged with theft. Jeff got the charge dismissed and now I have a clean record.”

M.H. Former Client

“My name is Harold Hagen and I’m a corporate lawyer. At my suggestion, my brother hired Jeff Dean when he faced criminal charges relating to possession of a firearm. Jeff Dean went beyond just winning the case – he was able to get the charges entirely dismissed. I fully recommend attorney Jeff Dean to anybody facing criminal charges in Minnesota. He has 25 years of experience practicing exclusively DWI and criminal defense and his outstanding track record speaks for itself.”

Harold Hagen – Attorney

“Jeff was a lifesaver for me in what I thought was a hopeless situation. I was charged with a serious felony sex crime and Jeff won my case. Its so nice to be free of the worry!”

D.L. Former Client

“I had just finished school and was about to apply for my professional license when I was charged with theft. My license could have been denied if I was found guilty. At the least I would have started my career on probation and under supervision. But Jeff got the charge dismissed and my problems are gone”

S.L. Former Client

“I have known Jeff Dean both professionally and personally for 12 years. I am a lawyer myself, so I have become aware of his abilities and reputation by direct observation. He is a skilled lawyer, hard-working and dedicated to representing his clients.

I have referred a number of clients to him, and in every instance, I have received back reports of complete satisfaction. Referrals who were unfamiliar with the court system reported that Jeff clearly communicated with them as to the process and the options they faced, giving them both comfort and a feeling that they were in control. In every case, the report back was that they would go back to Jeff again, should that ever become necessary.

Jeff is well-known and highly regarded in the local legal community. That strength makes him even more effective as he advocates on behalf of clients.

I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to a family member or close friend.”

Tom Blackmar – Attorney
