About
People often ask me how I can defend criminal for a living. My answer is always, as far back as I can remember I have always wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. I vividly remember as a child sneaking down after everyone had gone to bed to watch reruns of the original Perry Mason. I was awestruck that in every episonde Perry Mason would find the real culprit of the crime, most often not his client. He fought with such vigor and intellect, that I dreamed of growing up to be him. Most attorneys will tell you they became a lawyer beacuse they wanted to help others or to change the sytem. For me though, it was a desire to ensure justice was done and the right person was convicted, just like Perry Mason. I love what I do for a living, and each day I wake up knowing I get to do it again is a joy. However, being a lawyer is not the only thing I enjoy. When I am not in the office or a courtroom you can find me on the golf course. Although, my golf game could use a great deal of polishing I still love to play. I am also an avid baseball fan. Growing up in rural Wisconisin I bleed blue for my beloved Milwaukee Brewers. However, since moving to Minnesota I have started to follow the Twins almost as closely as I follow my Brewers. When time allows I love nothing more than the taking in a baseball game. The sounds of the crowd, the excitement of the long ball, and that sweet sound of ball hitting glove when a pitcher burns one across the plate striking out the opposing teams best hitter. It is the simple things in life that make for the best days. While I love being on the golf course, in the the baseball stadium, there is nothing I love more in this world than helping my clients. If you have been accused of a crime call me and let me help.

Ryan was great. Throughout my case which was a DUI, there were several scenarios that were different than the average case. One example of this was that my license was a Wisconsin license but the incident happened in Minnesota. Whenever a question arose that Ryan did not have an immediate answer to he would search until the answer was found then respond. this would usually take a matter of an hour. Ryan was strait to the point about what options were available and what the prosecutor would be looking for or how to present my case. Even when the answer was not something I wanted to hear. He always made it feel like we were a team. What we need to do is... They are going to try and say this about us... Finally Ryan would answer a question I had at any time of day. I would text him and within an hour I would have a response. I think back to when I thought I didn't need a lawyer and cringe. This whole process is over whelming and having a person who is truly in your corner made it so much easier. Thanks Ryan!
Ryan Drea had knowledge of how long video surveillance was kept (14 days) then it is erased. = He should have NEVER taken my money & represented me when he KNEW he couldn't retrieve something that had long since expired. The outcome: guilty with court fees & sts. I had to do my own investigating/called various police stations and talked to many officers-local and state- to find this out. (I do not recommend anyone to use an attorney cause they are all legal criminals. Do your own research and investigate. They ONLY help those select few-when the stars are aligned. The rest are screwed.) What I stated are facts as Ryan Drea knows.
