Tamburino Law Group

What Tamburino Law Group does

Tamburino Law Group is a Minneapolis-based criminal defense law firm founded in 1983, providing legal representation across criminal defense, Title IX defense, personal injury, and professional license defense matters. The firm operates from a single headquarters at 150 S. 5th Street in downtown Minneapolis and serves clients throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area and across Minnesota state and federal courts. Core practice areas span DWI defense, drug crimes, sex crimes, violent crimes, white-collar crimes, federal crimes, juvenile crimes, and Title IX proceedings at colleges and universities, with extension pages for Iowa and Wisconsin Title IX matters. The team includes seven attorneys — owner Joe Tamburino, partner Hillary Parsons, and five additional attorneys/of counsel — with over a century of collective experience and hundreds of jury trials handled.

The firm operates on a traditional professional services revenue model, charging clients on a case-by-case basis with free initial consultations; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, anchored by 24/7 phone availability and emergency response positioning for criminal defense matters, and augmented by an extensive content marketing presence including an active blog (since 2014), the 'Tamburino Talks Law' video series, and significant earned media through Joe Tamburino's regular legal commentary appearances on CBS News, WCCO, Court TV, and Law & Crime Network. The customer base is composed entirely of individuals — those facing criminal charges and, to a lesser extent, personal injury claimants — with no enterprise or institutional clients. Pricing varies by case complexity and attorney seniority, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
