Where We Practice
A practice concentrated in Dodge County and the surrounding region.
Keil Defense takes cases across Minnesota, but the majority of the firm's work is concentrated in a group of counties — Dodge County among them — where the firm appears regularly and knows how the local courts actually operate. That day-to-day familiarity is the point: knowing how this court schedules hearings, handles release conditions, and moves cases. If your case is elsewhere in Minnesota, that doesn't put it out of reach — it's worth a call to talk through.
