Attorney
Eagan, Minnesota, 55121
Samuel Edmunds is recognized as being at the top of his field in criminal defense in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Earlier in his career, Sam spent over seven years as a criminal prosecutor in the Twin Cities metro area. Soon, Sam realized he could better help people by defending those accused of a crime rather than prosecuting them. Sam has excellent success negotiating with prosecutors because he used to be one.
This benefits his clients because Sam knows how to negotiate and best represent his clients in front of a judge. Knowing both sides of the law allows Sam to apply his passion for helping others directly to the work he does every day. Sam is also a Board Certified Specialist in Criminal Law by the Minnesota State Bar Association, an honor held by less than 3% of Minnesota attorneys. In addition, he was elected in 2021 to become an officer of the Minnesota State Bar Association.
That means that Sam will serve as the President of the Minnesota State Bar in 2024-25. In 2018 and 2020, Sam won Attorney of the Year for his work in helping people clean up – and even delete – criminal matters from their records. Sam believes there is no reason a criminal matter needs to haunt a person forever. Depending on the severity of the case, expungement is possible as early as two to three years. Sam has tried countless cases in courts around Minnesota and consistently obtains positive results for his clients. Sam is licensed to practice in Minnesota and Wisconsin and represents clients throughout states and in federal court.
