Freya E. Vieira

Freya Vieira brings a truly global perspective to the criminal defense team at Groshek Law. Her legal journey began in the UK and Ireland, where she focused on human rights and even led an advocacy group for individuals on death row. That deep-seated passion for protecting civil liberties is exactly what makes her such a powerhouse in the courtroom today. After moving to the U.S. and earning her JD at the University of St. Thomas, Freya jumped straight into the trenches as a public defender in Hennepin County. She spent years handling everything from gross misdemeanors to serious felonies, mastering the art of bail hearings, evidentiary motions, and winning trials. Freya doesn’t just see a case file, she sees a person who deserves a zealous advocate. She’s known for her compassionate approach and her ability to navigate the high-pressure environment of the felony division with ease. When she’s off the clock, you’ll likely find her exploring the Twin Cities food scene or hanging out with her dog, Georgia. If you want an attorney who combines experience in international human rights with local, battle-tested trial skills, Freya is the one you want on your side.
