Thomas P. Leavitt, Criminal Defense

Thomas P. Leavitt, Criminal Defense I will stand in your corner and fight for your rights. It is my goal to mount a solid defense and see the charges against my clients dismissed or reduced.
(6)

I have aided people across Minnesota in achieving the best possible outcomes in cases involving issues such as drug offenses, DWI, vehicle offenses, robbery, theft, and violent crimes. In July of 2023, I won a reversal at the Minnesota Court of Appeals on a First Degree Controlled Substance charge in a case that carried the potential for a decade in prison for my client. Whether they have been cha

rged with a misdemeanor or a felony offense, I understand the uncertainty and fear clients are experiencing. Standing by my clients through every stage of the process, I work hard to limit the stress of what may be one of the most trying experiences of their lives. Whatever level of accusation you are facing, you can rely on me to fight for your rights

I was born and raised in the city of Minneapolis. As a proud Washburn Miller, I was the first Minneapolis City Conference player to earn a Division I football scholarship in the prior twenty years. I earned that football scholarship to the University of Minnesota where I played for the Golden Gophers. I developed a reputation for being a smart and aggressive football player, two traits I carry into the courtroom. I was fortunate to be mentored by some of the most prominent and skilled defense attorneys in the state in Earl Gray, Samuel McCloud and Ryan Pacyga. Every single client is my most important client and it is my job to stand in their corner and fight for their rights.
