Gierman began practicing criminal defense in 2004. Early in her career she built a general practice that handled a variety of criminal matters. Over time she developed routines for case preparation, evidence review and courtroom advocacy. She has worked in arraignments, pretrial hearings and trials, and she has represented clients at all stages of criminal proceedings.
She maintains current professional memberships. Those affiliations connect her to colleagues across Minnesota and to continuing education that supports courtroom work. Outside of hearings, she focuses on case strategy, often reviewing records and motions thoroughly before presenting arguments to a judge or jury.
Clients and other lawyers note that Gierman favors plain language in court filings and conversations. She avoids legalese and aims to explain options clearly. That approach shapes how she prepares clients for testimony and for negotiations. In the courtroom she tends to prioritize clarity and timing over theatrical displays.
Gierman Law is her practice home. The firm lists criminal defense as its core area. In recent years she has continued to take cases in Minnesota state courts, representing people charged with offenses across different levels of seriousness. She balances trial work with efforts to resolve cases through plea discussions when that serves a client’s interests.
She is active in local legal circles and continues to accept new clients. Her work remains centered on criminal defense in Minnesota. The current practice focuses on representing defendants in state criminal matters.
