About Douglas βΊ
Douglas T. Kans founded Kans Law Firm, LLC with one clear goal in mind: to defend individuals charged with criminal offenses and provide them with the strongest possible defense.
For over 25 years, Douglas has dedicated his practice to DWI defense and representing individuals facing criminal charges. Throughout his career, he has handled and negotiated countless criminal cases, building a solid reputation and earning the respect of colleagues, prosecutors, and judges across Minnesota. While he takes pride in his professional accomplishments, nothing compares to the personal satisfaction he feels when working hard to help his clients achieve favorable outcomes.
Before starting his defense practice, Douglas served as a prosecutor, handling numerous criminal cases. This experience allows him to approach each case with a unique perspective, understanding how prosecutors think and using that insight to craft effective legal strategies for his clients.
He believes in maintaining strong, respectful relationships with the people he represent. He treats every client with integrity, taking the time to understand their goals and needs. He makes it a priority to listen, communicate openly, and ensure his clients fully understand the legal process, including the complexities of Minnesota DUI laws and the challenges they may face.
Douglas T. Kans is honored to be well-regarded within the legal community. The media often seeks his opinion on legal matters related to DWI and criminal defense, and he is frequently invited to speak at seminars and lectures for other attorneys on topics in criminal law and drunk driving cases. Additionally, Douglas T. Kans has been recognized as a βTop 100β trial lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers.
