Shirlene R. Perrin

Attorney Perrin practices in the areas of family law and criminal defense in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  She has 27 years of experience in trial work and appeals.   She works with a wide variety of people, handling complex litigation family matters as well as serious felony criminal matters.  She has worked with people who have lost custody in child protection and worked with them through getting their children back and gaining rights back in the family court as well.  While it may not seem that the two areas of criminal defense and family law are connected there are places where they do intersect and it can be very valuable to have the insight.  Additionally as an attorney who manages jury trials and evidentiary rules in jury trials attorney Perrin is practiced and confident in that area in a way that many family law attorneys are not.  While it may be often best in matters of the family if people can resolve their differences at times it is just not possible and when that is the case people do want an attorney that can manage a trial.
