Wills and Carole Clark Isakson lead our team of transportation law attorneys. With more than four decades of experience representing nationwide motor carriers, Jim is both well respected and well known in this unique area of law. Having worked together for more than twenty years, Jim and Carole have worked with trucking companies, shippers, brokers, freight forwarders, and those who rely on transportation services.
Trucking companies and their customers must stay well informed in areas of the law that are constantly changing, including regulatory issues, employment issues, state and federal laws concerning licensing and zoning, and more. Any attorney dealing with transportation clients must remain up to date on all current issues and understand both the history and the importance of this industry.
Our transportation attorneys are members of the Minnesota Trucking Association (MTA) and the national Transportation Lawyers Association. We are proud to note that Jim was awarded the MTA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014 recognition of his extraordinary legal work for the trucking industry.

Listen to your Miranda Rights.
Request to speak with an attorney in private. Your Miranda warning will be read to you by the arresting officer. It is very important that you pay attention to every word of these rights.
If you are placed under arrest, the officer has most likely completed an investigation leading to the belief that there was probable cause that you committed a crime. At this point, the officer has made their decision. Do not think that you could say or do anything to change the officer’s mind.
Do not resist arrest. Resisting arrest could subject you to further criminal charges if you go too far. Additionally, your attitude toward the arresting officer, if negative or volatile, will be presented as supporting a guilty verdict. In general, juries do not react favorably to a person who fights with police and will most likely see this is as evidence of guilt.
If convicted, the prosecution could use any negative conduct to support a harsher sentence. In short, displaying aggressive behavior toward police will only cause trouble. Even if you are scared, angry, or are experiencing high anxiety, you must maintain composure and politely request to speak to an attorney in private.
The law firm of Barna, Guzy & Steffen offers dedicated attorneys who effectively and efficiently handle your legal needs with the highest level of professionalism.
