    Professional and Compassionate Guidance
    We were so fortunate to have the guidance of Karmen McQuitty for a very stressful situation involving our dogs. Karmen was professional, ethical, and compassionate in a very tumultuous time for us. She helped us immensely with a case that I can't imagine navigating on our own and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

    By far the strongest criminal defense team
    As someone who regularly attends open court and observes criminal jury trials throughout the Twin Cities, I’ve seen my share of criminal defense lawyers in action. Recently, I had the pleasure of watching attorneys Joe Tamburino and Hannah Martin represent a client at trial, and they stood out in every way. They delivered everything you could possibly hope for in a criminal defense team, something that is sadly rare, given how low the performance bar tends to be for most lawyers in this field. Hannah Martin opened with a strong, confident statement, their witnesses were thoroughly prepared, and together they presented a clear, compelling theory of the case. Joe Tamburino then closed with a powerful and persuasive argument that tied everything together beautifully. What impressed me most was their complete dedication. They fought hard for their client before, during, and after trial to protect every right possible. Even outside the courtroom, you could see how genuinely they cared for their client through their interactions. Out of all the jury trials I’ve witnessed, and there have been quite a few, this was by far the strongest criminal defense team I have ever seen. That’s high praise coming from me, because I’m not someone who hands out compliments to lawyers. In fact, it’s usually the opposite. My late friend Dr. James Rasicot, a respected jury trial consultant who passed away in 2017, often spoke about how truly exceptional civil and criminal defense lawyers are so few and far between. I have no doubt he would have called Mr. Tamburino and Ms. Martin exactly that: rare gems in the profession. Mr. V

    Exceptional Legal Representation
    Joe Tamburino provided me with exceptional legal representation, sound advice, and excellent communication when I experienced a need for legal representation. Joe was very quick to respond to my initial call and worked diligently to represent me to a conclusion that was in the best interest of my rights and future. Not once did Joe attempt to force me into an outcome/decision that I did not want. He truly represented my best interest throughout a legal process! Thank you, Joe.

    Joe Was Amazing
    Attorney Joe Tamburino: I had a very good attorney for a complicated criminal case and ended up changing attorneys and using Joe Tamburino. When my previous lawyer asked who I had retained I told her it was Joe Tamburino. She stated that he was a very well-regarded lawyer, and well known. I said that I hadn't heard of him before but I also did not know any criminal defense lawyers. She assuaged my fears and said that he's one of the best in the state and that I was in good hands. She wasn't wrong. Joe was amazing. He laid out our defense, instructed me on what to do, and was extremely prompt in every reply. With some lawyers, especially divorce lawyers, you may not get a quick reply which can be frustrating. Joe was always quick to respond and he responded himself, not an assistant, which was reassuring. With Joe's assistance we were able to win my case which was a hard case. Joe's reputation as one of the best attorneys in the state was well deserved. If you have any type of criminal case and you need to win, Joe Tamburino is the lawyer you want.

    Grateful Beyond Words to Hannah
    I can’t even express how grateful I am to have had Hannah as my lawyer. I got into trouble, needed a lawyer for the best outcome possible. I was scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what my future would look like. As soon as I met with Hannah, I had a sense of ease. I felt heard and seen. I just knew I had to go with Hannah at Tamburino Law Group. And I was right!! Hannah helped me get the best outcome I could hope for. I am grateful beyond words to Hannah. Amazed by her professionalism, confidence, and knowledge. If you are looking for the best possible lawyers, this firm has got you!!!

    Best Lawyer in Minnesota
    Shout out to Best lawyer in Minnesota!!! Omg where do I start… I got in some trouble in the year 2023 around this time & I found Tamburino Law Group. The very first person whom I spoke to was attorney, Ms. Ashley, very detail-oriented, listened very carefully about my situation. With dedication she took me as her client, investigated the case in detail, suggested to me any other related attorneys for different sections like immigration and other involved. Provided me with full support from day one, she was always available for any questions that arose for my job or with my personal questions. In the mid of 2024, Mrs. Ashley moved out of the company, but she handed me over to the very very best lawyer Joe Tamburino, the owner of the group, very knowledgeable, with huge experience, down-to-earth person. He was involved in my case from the very beginning with Ms. Ashley and was guiding her through. Just speaking to him was a relief for me and I was so grateful to have him. The team of Tamburino Law Group, starting from reception, paralegal to attorney were very focused on my case. Super helpful at any time and the best part is they take the case as it’s their own case and work very hard, day, night, week or weekends. I can't express how grateful I am towards Mr. Joe and the entire team of Tamburino Law Group, I am glad I had them by my side in that terrible moment of my life and came up with a positive result. Well, if you ever find yourself in a position where you need to hire a lawyer I totally recommend Tamburino Law Group, they are extremely professional and great at what they do.

    The Best Outcome and Results
    Few words can describe my level of gratitude and appreciation for the competence in practice and professionalism shown by Hillary Parsons while handling my case. I can promise you, Hillary will take the time not only to ensure all required efforts are made to familiarize herself with your case, but also research and familiarize herself with how the outcome of your case could affect your life, your career, and in my situation, everything I’ve worked for. I can’t say thank you enough, but thank you is just words. The best outcome and results for her clients is who Hillary Parsons is to me, and who she will be for you too.

    Joe immediately called me
    Joe was the only attorney willing to take my case, and immediately called me and spoke with me about options and called me in for a meeting, and asked me to bring documents the next day. No other lawyer has done that. Even though the court date he was willing to take the case. He offered a similar rate to other lawyers, and given all the awards he has in his office and how nice it is, I figured he must be good. I am hoping for a dismissal or quick resolution to my case moving forward.
    Ilse Melina
    My case was completely dismissed
    I can’t thank Tyler Dahlen and his team enough for their outstanding work on my case. From the very first consultation, Tyler was compassionate, professional, and truly took the time to listen to my concerns. He reassured me every step of the way, explaining the legal process in a way that was easy to understand and always making sure I felt supported. Throughout the entire court process, Tyler and his team demonstrated an incredible level of dedication, preparation, and expertise. They handled everything with confidence and skill, always keeping me informed and making sure I knew what to expect. Their hard work and commitment to my case ultimately led to the best possible outcome—my case was completely dismissed. I couldn’t have asked for a better legal team. Tyler and his team genuinely care about their clients, and it shows in the way they advocate with passion and professionalism. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for you while also making you feel heard and supported, I highly recommend Tyler Dahlen and his team. They truly go above and beyond!
    Caine Bucher
    I am amazed and impressed
    I would like to greatly thank Tyler Dahlen for all of his undivided attention and support during my case. I had low hopes of what the outcome would be fighting my case at all after calling multiple attorneys for advice on what to do. They all told me it wasn’t worth fighting or they don’t think I will win. When I reached Tyler, he was enthusiastic and supportive about my case and what the outcome could be. Regardless of the conversation being about me hiring him as my attorney, he was compassionate and caring about what I had been through. He did all the hard work necessary to win my case. It was completely dismissed as I was wrongfully charged for something and Tyler made sure they knew that. He listened to me and believed me. I never felt discouraged or unheard during my time working with him. Even after he won my case, something came up a couple of months afterwards that I had a question about and he still responded right away and I mean literally right away. He was always available for questions or concerns. I am amazed, impressed and just thank God I found Tyler when I did. I really do not know what would have happened to me if I had listened to the other attorneys telling me not to fight my case at all. I highly recommend working with this firm. Specifically, Tyler and send many blessings to the whole team for the amazing win.

    Charges Dropped to Minimal
    If anyone runs across my review and knows who I am, they will know I have had to hire countless lawyers over the years. With this being said, there are only a handful I would recommend. If you're in Minnesota and you have a run-in with the law, I highly recommend this law firm. Hannah is sharp, and she got the job done. Money well spent, and they were very helpful. Had three serious charges dropped to the most minimal charge possible. If I ever have an issue with the law again in Minnesota—which I hope never happens again—I will be using this law firm and will also be sharing this law firm's info with anyone in Minnesota that's in some hot water. Thank you, I truly appreciate everything!

    Ronnie got my case dismissed!
    When my ex-boyfriend came after me, I didn't know what to do. I called Caplan & Tamburino, and Ronnie answered. He kindly answered the million and one questions I had and offered to meet me in person to go over my case and look at my documents. He graciously met me outside business hours and gave me his opinion on my case and what his strategy would be. I hired him because I could tell he was very knowledgeable and cared about my case. It wasn't just about the money. You can tell he loves what he does. He also gave me regular updates and walked me through every step of the process. He was professional throughout the entire process and even handled my sassiness with care when I was frustrated with what the other party was doing. Ultimately, Ronnie was able to get my case dismissed, which was the result we were going for, so I'm incredibly happy! If you're looking for an attorney who will fight for you and care about what happens to you long-term when you find yourself in a difficult situation, I highly recommend Ronnie.
    Alyssa Penman
    Charge Totally Dismissed!
    Ronnie was an absolutely fantastic attorney! He genuinely seemed to care and checked in with me to make sure I was doing well, as these types of things can be very stressful. Very straightforward and responsive type of guy. He’s very knowledgeable as he was once a prosecutor once upon a time. He represented me and was able to get the charge totally dismissed! If you’re in trouble and need legal assistance and/or a great defense attorney, I would 100% recommend you give Ronnie a call.

    Flat out amazing at what they do!
    Ronnie and the firm were unbelievably amazing in every step of the process for my case. For someone like me who doesn’t know much about the legal system, they made everything a whole lot easier and less complicated in these stressful times. The amount of thanks I give to them can’t even be put in words. They are flat out amazing at what they do! I truly wish Google had more than 5 stars because they definitely deserve it. I will forever be grateful for this team and can’t thank them enough! Definitely recommend them to anyone in need of help with the justice system. They will get you taken care of the right way. Hats off to this team.

    Grateful and Relieved
    I have no words to express how happy and grateful I am to Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm. Especially Hannah, she has been there for me from day one to the finish. I couldn't express happier gratitude for all of her hard work. They have done such a great job defending my name through an accusation. I am glad and so relieved of such stress I had when the case was against me and the State. I recommend them to anyone who has a case against them. Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm will fight for your rights and defend your case. If I could give them 10,000 stars, I would!

    They Gave Me Hope
    I would like to take this moment to thank Joe Tamburino, Tyler Dahlen, and Ashley Heaney (whom first worked with me). I am a person who usually does not get into trouble as I continue to live my life trying to always do better. But I became a victim of my own actions as I made a choice which changed my life. With the help from this law firm, they helped me be able to see that there is still a future for myself and more to look forward to. I thought I would be going into this case with lots of hope, but with Mr. Tamburino and Mr. Dahlen fighting for me until the settlement agreement, they gave me hope that I wouldn't have to spend a big portion of my life in a facility. That I can continue my life without worries after this case was over. They handled my complicated case with a great mindset and were always helpful in all the steps. I would strongly recommend this law firm as they do a lot to help assist you as long as you are willing to accept the help they provide. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Tamburino again!
