When you are facing an investigation or prosecution by the government, the experience causes a great deal of concern - not only for the target, but for their family and network of supporters.  What takes years to build up can be destroyed quickly, in a police investigation or a prosecution - whether caused by a momentary lapse of judgment, external pressures; even a false accusation - or uncorroborated accusations.

But you can fight back.  You can win with a good lawyer, and the will to fight.

Make no mistake.  The courts are a competitive arena.  The police are the government's soldiers, "targeting" people for destruction, in the name of law - expediently, and with less regard for the truth.  It's "fast food justice."  Will you be their easy target?  Will you be their next prey?  You don't have to be another statistic.  Choose to fight and win.

Just being an innocent is no protection.  The unknown, unrecognized or ignored Truth cannot save you.  If you haven't realized that yet, now is the time.  The conviction rolls are filled with the names of innocent people, conveniently blamed - casually convicted of crimes they never committed.  The prisons of Minnesota hold large numbers of falsely convicted people.  The United States has the highest per capita incarceration rate in the world, and in history.

But you don't have to let it happen to you.  With good legal help, you can fight and win.


How could juries, judges, courts and police fail us so?  There are many reasons.  According to non-profit justice advocacy group The Innocence Project, the most common reasons are:

•  Eyewitness Misidentification
•  Unreliable or Limited Science
•  False Confessions  
•  Forensic Science Fraud or Misconduct
•  Government Misconduct
•  Informants or Snitches
•  Bad Lawyering

In the real world, mere innocence is no guarantee against false arrest, charge, conviction or incarceration.  No reasonable person should believe otherwise, given the historical evidence.  Yet for many, a naive trust in government law enforcement persists.  This is dangerous.  Injustice for "the other" today, will become injustice directed towards you tomorrow.  As a society we must do all we can to improve the system and protect the rights of the accused.  As individuals we have a duty.  We must do our part, too.  We must stand up and defend ourselves, and our rights.  We must fight for truth, for justice.  We must fight for Liberty - for one and for all!

Do you need a good lawyer?  The best attorney in a case helps one person, and by extension society at large, using all his skills, experience and judgment to fight for that person - to develop and execute the best defense possible.  

Wishful thinking is not the path to Liberty and Justice.  The law is a tool. 
It is a tool that can be used to help, to hurt, or not be used at all.
  The so-called legal system is really just people.  People are not perfect and make mistakes - even sometimes mistakes like believing false accusations.

A good Minnesota defense attorney can use the law as a tool to help persuade people where is the truth, where is justice, the importance of liberty.  Gallagher has helped many people win their cases, for over twenty years so far.
