North Star Criminal Defense

Im a CDL driver, called about 5 numbers before reached to them. First firm that helped me right away and provided clear path of actions on my ticket!

I was pulled over for a DWI in September and was really really nervous, to the point where I was going to go and plea guilty without representation. I found James and we worked together. He didn't make any promises that he could get it dropped, but when he saw the evidence said there was a good chance it would get reduced to a lesser charge (which was very reasonable given the details). And it did! He did a very good job preparing me to go in with the best defense strategy possible. Great work on the part of NorthStar

James and Dan are a fantastic team. Their vast experience and client focus are unmatched in this space. I would trust them to handle any case with professionalism and class.

James and his team are first class and extremely detailed oriented. His creativity in my matter made the process stress free.

Dan and his staff were very helpful. They were attentive to my needs and helped get me a judgment I was happy with.

Mr. Gempler represented me and provided me with clear communication throughout the process. After a series of mistakes at the DMV, to no fault of my own, I was incredibly grateful for the outcome received which resulted in a licensing issue being dropped without having to go to trial. Ideal outcome and pleased with the process.

Mr. Gempler is the epitome of an experienced criminal defense attorney. James is very thorough and reviews all details of your case with you. He knows the law exceptionally well and has excellent rapport with other attorneys and the courts. Place your trust in him and he will absolutely obtain the best result for your case. With his meticulous strategy, and knowledge of the law, my case ended favorably. I would absolutely recommend Northstar Criminal Defense to anyone who finds themselves in need of criminal defense.

Never been in the system and being an immigrant with permanent residency pending for approval. I landed in problems all because of myself and caused angst, anxiety, embarrassment for all of my family here and my parents abroad. I reached out to the best known attorney and he calmed me and my spouse that he will get us out of the trouble and avoid any hinderance in our green card processing. But I did not use to hear back from him and we were in a contract with him. After some follow ups the attorney told me that I can fire him any time, I do deserve what I did and he basically backtracked himself. He was too high in his head that he is the best but without any communication to me, my anxiety level was very high. So I had no other option but to fire him. I started reading reviews on internet and luckily found Mr James Gempler with very positive and helpful reviews and his rate of success being very high. I asked for his time and he took out time to meet me in person free of charge in the same week. he is very calm, supportive, understanding and upfront with what he can try to achieve and does his best. He helped articulate the situation and helped us not to get in immigration deportation proceedings and many cascading things could have happened with our life turned upside down. Being an immigrant domestic violence is a criminal offense and is a direct deportation from ICE. I did not even know what was domestic violence other than me raising hand someone and hurting them. In this case I caused fear to my family and others and Mr James led my case and I was promptly informed for what I should do and his continued belief on what he could do. So now when I look back in time, I can not thank enough to Mr James and his assistants for helping me get through the most entangling crisis of my life. He helped me even with immigration attorney with referral who was also splendid in her (Shirlene) work. I see Mr James as a strong human being who in my case shielded me from adverse consequences and helped get me back again to life. I would without a doubt ask anyone who needs help reach out to him. He is open hearted and very reasonable in his contract.

Professional, responsive, friendly and non-judgemental. This is the representation you hope for when facing a criminal charge and my specific outcome was better than could be expected. Highly recommend!

I worked with James Gempeler & his team to successfully expunge two DWI records. James did a great job navigating the expungement process & his team exceeded my expectations by winning both cases. I would definitely recommend North Star Criminal Defense & I consider their costs reasonable & fair.
