Jeremy Downs & Timothy Downs

Jeremy Downs

I love solving problems. I decided to become a lawyer to help people solve their problems and to help them understand how the law affects their lives. Being a general practice attorney is a lot like being a family doctor. We help people through all sorts of challenges life gives to them and help them succeed.

I was born and raised in Duluth. After two years in Idaho as a County Attorney, my wife and I moved back to Duluth. I love spending time outside whether fishing, golfing, mountain biking, or running. I have served on many community boards and organizations ranging from youth sports to the arts.

In my over 20 years of practice I have handled hundreds of criminal cases ranging from serious offenses such as murder to less serious offenses such as DWIs and other traffic violations. During this time I have represented hundreds of clients in divorce and child cases. I also have experience representing clients in personal injury, estate planning, real estate, business and tort cases.

Timothy Downs

Throughout my life I have asked questions. If the right questions are not asked correct choices cannot be made. When someone comes to me with a problem I know what questions to ask to help guide that person to make the correct choice.

I was born and raised in Proctor, Minnesota. My wife and I live in Duluth, Minnesota and have raised two children and helped raise five grandsons. I enjoy running, golfing and traveling around the the United States with my wife.

In my over 40 years of practice (including 5 years as the City Attorney for Proctor, MN) I have handled hundreds of cases including family law, estate and probate planning, real estate, personal injury, business and tort cases.
