My Background
Thomas P. Leavitt, Criminal Defense PLLC was founded in 2017 and since that time I have been fortunate to represent many great clients across the state of Minnesota.
As a father and family man, I understand the seriousness that a criminal charge brings. Every client is my most important client and it is my job to stand in their corner and fight for their rights. I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of St. Thomas. Prior to law school I achieved a Political Science from the University of Minnesota. In the courtroom I display the same tenacity that led me to be awarded a Division I scholarship to the Golden Gophers. The first city player to do so in over two decades, I go above and beyond to get the job done. I know how much is at stake and I refuse to lose for my clients and their families.
A Prestigious Education
U.S. News and World Reports ranks St. Thomas as the top private law school in the state of Minnesota. In 2023, St. Thomas law school was named the #2 law school in the country for practical training by National Jurist. St. Thomas has been ranked among the top three law schools in this category since 2014. I was taught negotiations by a nationally recognized professor and achieved the “Dean’s Award” in that area. I was mentored by some of the most skilled defense attorneys in Minnesota in Earl Gray, Samuel McCloud, and Ryan Pacyga. As a practitioner with a natural feel for my adversary’s strengths and weaknesses, I do everything in my power to maximize my client’s position at the negotiation table and in the courtroom.
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. It is my goal to mount a solid defense and see the charges against my clients dismissed or reduced. In July of 2023, I successfully fought for a reversal at the Minnesota Court of Appeals on a First Degree Controlled Substance charge in a case that carried a presumptive decade in prison and a maximum sentence of forty years in prison.
Whether they have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony offense, I understand the uncertainty and fear clients are experiencing. I stand by my clients through every stage of the process, working 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
