Yusra Hassan

Yusra Hassan is a Criminal Defense Law Clerk at BK Law Group, where she works directly with the firm’s attorneys in the defense of clients facing criminal charges throughout Minnesota.

As part of Minnesota’s largest criminal defense law firm, Yusra assists with legal research, discovery review, case preparation, drafting, and the development of defense strategies. Her work helps attorneys identify the factual and legal issues that can make the difference in a criminal case and ensures that cases are thoroughly prepared at every stage of the process.

BK Law Group was built around a team approach to criminal defense. Rather than relying on the perspective of a single attorney, the firm brings together more than 10 attorneys and a dedicated legal support team with experience handling cases throughout Minnesota. That collaboration allows attorneys to draw on the knowledge and experience of colleagues familiar with particular courts, prosecutors, judges, and areas of criminal law.

Yusra is an integral part of that process. She works behind the scenes with BK Law Group’s attorneys to analyze evidence, research legal issues, and prepare cases for negotiations, contested hearings, and trial.

She is drawn to criminal defense because of the enormous impact a criminal accusation can have on a person’s freedom, career, family, and future. She approaches each case with the understanding that behind every court file is a real person relying on the firm to protect what matters to them.
