Charged in Edina? Protect Your Reputation and Your Future
Affluent. Great schools. Gorgeous parks. Plenty of employment opportunities. Excellent city amenities. Prime location.
Yes, there’s a lot to like about Edina, Minnesota – unless you suddenly find yourself on the wrong side of the law. Even people who make seemingly minor errors can find themselves facing heavy fines, jail time, and other serious penalties.
Why is Edina so strict?
One reason is reputation. When compared to larger cities like Bloomington and Minneapolis, Edina is known for having an incredibly low crime rate. Violent crime is almost nonexistent and theft is the only property crime that comes close to national and state averages.
When a city is known for low crime levels, law enforcement and local officials often decide to take a tough stance on all crimes. Christopher Keyser has seen this happen to many of his clients. Officials throw the book at the few people who are charged to make an example out of them and discourage others from committing crimes.
There are also social consequences. Getting arrested in a place where crime does not happen means that it will be noticed. Friends, neighbors, coworkers, and others may turn away in your time of trouble, and you may earn an unfair reputation as a criminal – even before your case is ever tried. It is unfair but it is also the reality may experience once in the criminal justice system.
To avoid these life-altering consequences, it is vital to hire an experienced Edina defense lawyer as soon as you are charged or arrested. Someone with extensive knowledge of the Minnesota court system and a track record of success handling cases like yours.
An award-winning criminal defense attorney, Christopher Keyser has fought for justice on behalf of clients in Minnesota state and federal courts. He has represented people charged with all kinds of crimes in Edina, from petty misdemeanors to felonies.

He’ll make you his priority. Far too many lawyers out there just see clients as a case number – and you will be one of countless others. Mr. Keyser never accepts a case unless he knows that he has enough time to devote to it.

Additionally, he strives to leave no legal stone unturned in your defense, often coming up with creative strategies to give his clients the best chance at receiving the most positive outcome.
His work has garnered him much recognition.

Mr. Keyser is also a certified Certified Criminal Law Specialist by the Minnesota Bar Association. Less than 3% of all registered Minnesota lawyers are specialists in their field.
