Results
We constantly strive to get charges dismissed or reduced, keep our clients out of jail and keep their records clean. We take all of our cases personally and work to ensure the best possible results for your future. Below is a brief sample of our many victories.

Felony Theft with Firearm

 

CASE DISMISSED AT TRIAL

Client was charged with stealing an iPhone while brandishing a gun in Dakota County.  The State claimed our client was stealing the phone to keep as collateral for debts owed.  We did not rely on the State's evidence and had our investigator interview witnesses, which poked holes in the alleged victim's story, and showed he had a reputation for being dishonest.  The State offered Client to plead guilty to misdemeanor theft which we rejected and proceeded to trial.  The State finally dismissed on the case the morning of trial.  

 

Felony Criminal Sexual Conduct

 

Third-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct: NOT GUILTY
Fourth-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct: NOT GUILTY
Fourth-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct: NOT GUILTY

Client was charged for inapproproately touching female customers during massages.  Client faced a maximum punishment of 55 years in prison if convicted on all counts.  A Washington County jury acquitted client of three counts, and found him guilty of two counts.  Client avoided a mandatory prison sentence.  

 

Fifth-Degree Assault, Disorderly Conduct 


Fifth-Degree Assault: NOT GUILTY

Fifth-Degree Assault: NOT GUILTY
Disorderly Conduct: NOT GUILTY

Client was charged with two counts of Fifth-degree assault and one count of disorderly conduct in Minneapolis.  A jury found client NOT GUILTY of all charges.  

 

Second-Degree Burglary (Felony)


CASE DISMISSED

Client faced a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.  Through our own private investigation, we uncovered facts favorable to the defense.  The Washington County Attorney's Office made four different offers for Client to plead guilty over a 10-month period.  We continued to push forward to trial and the State finally admitted its case was weak.  

 

Third-Degree Assault (Felony)


CASE DISMISSED AT TRIAL

Client was accussed of causing great bodily harm to another person during a fight and faced a maximum of 5 years in prison.  We raised a self-defense claim and pursued the case to jury trial.  Halfway through jury selection, the State dismissed the case.

 

Obstruction of Legal Process with Force (Gross Misdemeanor)

CASE DISMISSED

Client pleaded guilty to obstruction of process (we were not the attorneys) and was sentenced.  Client then hired Keyser Law Firm and we filed motions to reopen the case based on Client's previous lawyer's failure to advise Client of immigration consequences (Client is not a U.S. citizen).  Our motion was successful and we then argued to have the case DISMISSED completely.  We then assisted Client in successfully expunging her entire records (including BCA records) over the State's objection.

First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (Felony)


PROBATION ONLY 

Client was charged with the molestation of two minors and faced 24 years in prison.  The State had corroborating testimony of abuse from both victims but through extremely aggressive negotiations, Client received a stay of imposition whereby his felony will result in a misdemeanor level offense once probation is complete.  Client was placed on probation, paid a minimum fine and had no community service obligations.  

 

Obstruction of Legal Process with Force (Gross Misdemeanor)


CASE DISMISSED

Client was charged with obstructing legal process for injuring a police officer.  After aggressive negotiations, Client paid no fine, served no jail and performed no community service.  After completing one year of unsupervised probation, the case was dismissed from Client’s record.


Order for Protection Violation (Misdemeanor)


CASE DISMISSED

We did not rely on the State's evidence but completed our own private investigation.  We discovered an alibi which was presented to the prosecution, disproving all allegations made. We argued that the State’s sole witness was not credible and our three witnesses would prevail at trial.  The State dismissed the case. 


Second-Degree Aggravated Robbery (Felony)


CASE DISMISSED

Client faced up to 5 years in prison for participating in an armed robbery as a getaway driver.  After negotiations with the State, the aggravated robbery charge was amended to Fifth-Degree Drug Possession and Client received a Stay of Adjudication.  Client was placed on probation and only completed 30 hours of community service - no jail, no fine, no permanent criminal conviction. 


Domestic Assault (Misdemeanor)


CASE DISMISSED

We did not rely on the prosecution's evidence and completed our own investigation.  We convinced the State its case was weak and it eventually dimissed before trial. 


Obstruction of Legal Process & Flee On Foot (Misdemeanors)


CASE DISMISSED

Client was charged with obstructing legal process and fleeing the police upon being questioned about a burglary.  Client’s case was dismissed after paying a $200 fine and completing one year of unsupervised probation.  Client was able to keep his new job during the economic recession.


Third-Degree DWI License Plate Impoundment


LICENSE PLATES RETURNED AT STATE'S EXPENSE

Because Client had a blood alcohol concentration over 0.20, the vehicle’s license plates were automatically impounded and destroyed.  By arguing the “innocent owner” defense, we provided written evidence of vehicle ownership as well as Client’s written testimony of ownership.  The State rescinded the Impound Order and returned brand new license plates to Client at no cost.


Fifth-Degree Assault - Two Counts (Misdemeanors)


CASE DISMISSED

Client was charged with assaulting bouncers at a Minneapolis nightclub.  After aggressive negotiations, the assault charges were dropped and a disorderly conduct charge was amended to a non-criminal petty misdemeanor (like a speeding ticket).  Client paid $100 and served no jail time, served no probation time and served no community service.  Client was able to pursue a nursing career without a criminal record.
