The Legal Help You Need Right Now

Experienced Legal Counsel At Your Service In The Twin Cities

When you face legal troubles in southern Minnesota, you need an attorney with a deep commitment to defending their clients in the courtroom and beyond. My name is John Fossum, and I have been practicing law in Minnesota since 1993. I am an MSBA (Minnesota State Bar Association) board-certified legal specialist in criminal law, and I bring over 30 years of experience in handling a broad spectrum of criminal and civil matters. My extensive background equips me with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve the results you desire.

Throughout my career, I have led, conducted and supported all phases of litigation in both federal and state courts. Recognized as a leader in the legal field, I combine integrity, responsiveness and compassion to deliver favorable outcomes for my clients. My practice began in Minnesota, encompassing criminal defense, prosecution and civil law. I have also spent 15 years teaching business law, criminal law and ethics, both online and in person. My experience extends internationally; from 2007 to 2008, I served as a criminal justice adviser in Afghanistan, educating Afghan police and prosecutors. From 2015 to 2022, I held the position of the elected county attorney for Rice County, where I led all prosecutions, ranging from minor infractions to serious criminal cases.

I earned my Juris Doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law and hold a Bachelor of Arts in speech and communications from Macalester College. In addition to being a certified specialist, I have been listed among the top criminal defense attorneys in Super Lawyers and hold numerous bar admissions, including the Supreme Court of Minnesota and the International Criminal Court.
