About
Charles Ramsay practices primarily in the area of criminal defense 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.

Mr. Ramsay helped me over the phone with my questions about an out of state Oui. I was not a client yet and he still answered my questions and was very helpful and informative. Thanks again Charles. Dan
I would like to thank Chuck, Dan and his staff for representing my case. Chuck and Dan followed through and did what they said they would do. I appreciate all the effort Chuck and Dan put into winning the case and appreciate how helpful his staff was. Their help is greatly appreciated and I will be sure to recommend them to others. Thanks again!!!!!
I consulted with Mr Ramsay about a case when my vehicle was impounded by the Minnesota State Patrol. A family member drove my vehicle, was pulled over and charged with a DWI. This was the first time that I had to work my way through, what I thought was a very complicated process to retrieve my vehicle. I contacted Mr Ramsay’s office for help. His office staff were very helpful in making sure that my needs were met in a timely manner. Mr Ramsay is very knowledgeable, and seemed to go out of his way to make sure that my experience with prosecutor, Judge and other court issues were clearly defined for me. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thank you for your time , patience and understanding.
The title above does not make me look good. They thought I must be guilty? Things are not always what they seem to be on the surface. Who would believe me? I was looking for an attorney just like you are now. I had no idea who to call. Lucky for me, Mr. Ramsay took my case and methodically stepped me through the legal system. I quickly understood how important it is to have a good and knowledgeable attorney. Mr. Ramsay helped me navigate through the legal system and protected my legal rights along the way. Winning was everything to me, and Mr. Charles Ramsay believed in me and fought harder than I would have ever imagined. Mr. Ramsay had a complete understanding of this law and my rights. Mr. Ramsay displayed the utmost professional attitude at all times. Mr. Ramsay allowed me access to many experts around the country giving me advice and information I needed. He demonstrated to me that he truly wanted me to win the cases I brought to him. He was very available to answer questions I had and was very honest about everything. He never walked away from me and even after a conviction, came back to have it overturned at the district court level that gave me a re-trial, and later was found not guilty on two charges. You have to have the heart to see these cases through, and Mr. Charles Ramsay has the biggest in the business. This was a long grueling time for me, my family and especially my wife. Mr. Ramsay continued to support all of us by lifting us up when we were down. There were many times when I had no control, and had to totally trust that Mr. Ramsay would do the right thing on my behalf. I am proud to say that I was never disappointed with any of his decisions. Mr. Charles Ramsay had a staff that always made me feel like family. They constantly corresponded with me when I had a question or need. They understood the importance to what I was asking or needed. They always corresponded with Mr. Ramsay on my behalf while he was in trial helping others. I could tell you a great story of the final days of the trial and the end of my 5 years of hell, but there is not enough space. What I can tell you is that I won my cases. If you want the best attorney...If you want someone that can deliver... If you are in trouble and need help, pick up the phone and call Charles Ramsay. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
Chuck is most professional with a personal touch. He understands what your going through and honestly cares. I remember telling him that "my life is in your hands" his reply was all I needed to hear.. " Chuck has a great staff who care about you, keep you informed and are passionate to your needs. Chuck and his team are a must when you need the best. Chuck Ramsay worked hard for me from the beginning. Making sure my rights were protected. Through his hard work, my charge was reduced. My life is much better for having had the honor of having Chuck Ramsay in my life and working for me, on behalf of me. If you have legal issues, your next mistake will be to not give Chuck Ramsay the chance to work for you
Dont drink and drive, but if you need a lawyer to prove our defective police systems operate regarding DUI hire Chuck Ramsey. 90% chance you will be found not guilty.
I was arrested in 2004 for Theft. I hired Mr. Ramsay and his firm to represent me for these charges, and they were nothing but wonderful and understanding people. He and his staff kept me informed and answered any questions that I had. I never once felt that I was pushed to the side or "just another client". I always felt comfortable with the decisions that were made knowing that Mr. Ramsay would look out for me and my interests. Even when I was panicked because of what could happen, he always reassured me that everything would be ok and it was nice to know that he truly cared. In the end, I was very pleased with the outcome. From here on out, I would recommend Mr, Ramsay to anyone; family, friend, co-worker, or even a stranger.
