About
We'll protect you when your future is on the line.Michelle Margoles practices in the areas of criminal law and juvenile law. With extensive experience at trial and on the appellate level, she zealously defends both adults and juveniles charged with committing crimes, ranging from serious felonies to minor citations. Michelle’s successful attacks on illegally obtained evidence, confessions, and trial issues have resulted in dismissal of charges, including First Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, Felony Assault, DWI, Domestic Assault, and other cases.Michelle thoroughly researches her clients’ cases, advises them of their legal options, explains what they can do to help their own cases, and tailors her representation to the individual demands of each case. Unlike many attorneys who use the same strategy with similar-looking cases, Michelle believes no two cases are alike and no two clients are alike. She enjoys working directly with clients and takes time to determine the best route for each particular client.Michelle understands that criminal charges and juvenile delinquency petitions carry many direct and indirect consequences on individuals’ lives, such as loss of freedom, loss of employment, financial burdens, predatory offender registration, loss of driver’s licenses, forfeiture of property to the government, academic consequences, and many others.

Michelle has worked with me on two cases and was able to, ultimately, get both cases dismissed. In the first case she went above and beyond to get to know me and the particulars of my situation and used those details to obtain a successful outcome for me. In the other case she was able to suppress ion scan evidence (a swab of the doorknob of my apartment) on which the entire case against me was built. Michelle has played a key role in outcomes that encouraged me to do the right thing (long-term drug rehab) but did not destroy my ability to recover. I very highly recommend!
Michelle Margoles was an outstanding attorney in my CSC case. Michelle has a way with words like no other attorney did during the entirety of our trial. Found not guilty on two accounts against the top CSC prosecutor in Ramsey county. Michelle worked with her father Alan Margoles on my team. Michelle headed up a Rasmussen motion that made much of a social media search warrant inadmissible even when thought it was very unlikely to win. Michelle did a great job pushing for lots of discovery motions that ended in lots of success. She has a keen eye for finding lots of little things that can be made effective in persuasion and showed this prowess during my trial. She was outspoken yet collected, factual yet passionate, and Michelle won the hearts of the entire jury and everyone in the courtroom. I have been very satisfied with her service and would suggest Michell Margoles to anyone who finds themselves in a tough spot because she is understanding and works incredibly hard to win no matter the circumstances.
