I’m a Lawyer Who Has Been In Your Shoes

Facing a criminal charge can propel you into an overwhelmingly dark period of your life. My name is Max Shek, and I operate Shek Law in Greater Minnesota as a dedicated criminal defense lawyer who knows firsthand the turmoil you’re facing. Rest assured, when you’re up against such accusations, you’ve arrived at a sanctuary of defense.

My commitment to my profession is deep-seated, and I undertake it without passing judgment.

What sets me apart from many other Minnesota defense attorneys is that I’ve been in the situation you find yourself in now. I’ve been mistakenly arrested not once but twice. Harrowing is the memory of those times, cuffed in the back of a police vehicle—yet, those very incidents have fueled my fervent advocacy for the rights of the accused.

The Shek Approach

The Shortcomings of High-Priced Lawyers

I have observed clients of high-priced lawyers settling for plea bargains they might have managed without any legal representation. A number of those lawyers highlight their past roles as prosecutors, but adopting a prosecutor’s perspective is the last thing you need in your corner when facing charges. You’d only consider that if your ultimate goal was to achieve less than the best possible outcome.

With me, there are no quick compromises. I play the long game, striving for the ideal outcome through persevering combat. No amount of time or energy dedicated to your case will cause me to suggest a plea.


