Published By: Chris Keyser

Category: Expungement / Criminal Record Sealing

A run-in with the law can have a huge negative impact on your life. Most people think that all of the consequences you face are tied to whether or not you are convicted, but unfortunately this is not the case.

Sure, you won’t be going to prison or paying off ridiculous fines if you beat your charges, but that doesn’t mean that everything just returns to normal. Why not? Because you will have a criminal record.

When Is Retail Theft a Felony in Minnesota?

MAR. 22 2017

Published By: Chris Keyser

Category: Shoplifting/Retail Theft

Crimes are classified in two major categories: misdemeanors and felonies. In many states, these two categories are broken down further into first degree misdemeanor, second degree felony, and so on.

Domestic Violence Causes 80% of Minnesota Female Homicides

MAR. 6 2017

Category: Domestic Assault | Domestic Violence | Murder

It can’t be said enough: domestic assault is a huge problem in Minnesota.

In 2016 alone, 21 people in our state died due to domestic violence. Those numbers don’t tell the whole story, either. When people die from domestic violence, they often leave behind children, parents, or friends who are asking themselves what could have been done to prevent this person’s death.
