Draft for human review. This entry came from AI research on the firm's site and the OLPR search. No person has reviewed it, and we have not spoken with this attorney or firm. Being listed is not a recommendation.
At a glance
What we could and couldn’t confirm
This lists what the official search showed and what we did not read. It does not score or compare lawyers. Each item is detailed, with its source and date, further down.
Read in the official OLPR search
- Authorized to practice in Minnesota: Yes. Admitted 10/30/2009.
- Public decision issued: No. That is this one search field; the official record below has the wording.
- Firm profile matches the OLPR row: partial. That counts how many details agree. It is not a finding about the lawyer.
The firm says, not checked another way
- What the firm says about the first meeting.
- What the firm says about fees.
Not confirmed
- Access and language support. We did not find it.
- The attorney registration record. The state’s search asks for a reCAPTCHA check, so we did not read it.
- Whether the firm’s statements are current, or true for your matter.
- Skill, results, responsiveness or fit. A website and a public record cannot show these.
Before you call
Questions to ask Derek’s office
Built from what this firm’s own pages say and what we could not find. The same list is not used for every firm.
- Your website describes the fee as: “Flat fee, no figures on the page we read.” Does that cover my situation, and what would be extra?
- Your website says: “Free initial consultation (firm claim).” Is that still current, and how long is the meeting?
- Who at Archambault Criminal Defense will do the work, and who will I hear from?
- Will you give me the fee in writing before I decide?
- Do you offer interpreters, remote meetings or a location I can reach without stairs, if I need them?
- What have you seen in situations like mine that I should plan for?
The pages we read did not state: Law school and admission year; Fee figures; Street address of the office. Ask if these matter to you.

Registration system
Not checked. The attorney registration search asks for a reCAPTCHA check before showing results, so we did not read this record. Please look it up yourself. Lawyer ID 0389905, as shown in the OLPR search, should find this record.Authorization, as shown in the OLPR search
The OLPR lawyer search row for DEREK TIMOTHY ARCHAMBAULT (Chanhassen) shows "Authorized to practice in MN?" as YES and a date admitted to the Minnesota bar of 10/30/2009.
Official record checkedolpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: This is the OLPR search, not the registration system. Matched by name and city. Search by name or Lawyer ID to see the current row; results have no permanent link.
Does the firm profile match the OLPR row? Partial match
Lawyer ID 0389905 returns one OLPR row: ARCHAMBAULT, DEREK TIMOTHY, admitted 10/30/2009, Chanhassen. The MSBA registry row gives Minneapolis and an email at the firm's own domain, dalawmn.com.
Official record checkedolpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: Name agrees; city does not (Chanhassen vs Minneapolis). The firm site states 16 years of criminal practice, which is roughly consistent with a 2009 admission but is not an admission year. Results have no permanent link. Strong, partial and unresolved describe how many independent details agree. They are not a finding about the lawyer.
Public discipline, as shown in the OLPR search
The OLPR lawyer search row for DEREK TIMOTHY ARCHAMBAULT (Chanhassen) shows "Public decision issued?" as NO.
Official record checkedolpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: OLPR states that only public matters are available. Private discipline, dismissed complaints and pending complaints are not shown. This says nothing about skill or suitability. Matched by name and city.
