Hastings Criminal Defense Lawyer - Affordable

Any individual who seeks legal services already knows they need the help of an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney. That being said ... the should not have to go to law school to understand the legal system.

Having had been at this for some time, I am well aware that individuals who have been arrested for something are frightened about the consequences they may face. They have been through an emotional experience. They don’t understand the legal process and they can be frustrated by people who speak in legal jargon. 

One of my jobs is to explain to individuals what their rights are, to look at whether any of them have been violated and to explain how the court system works — to make it a lot less intimidating and frightening.  If you or someone you love has caught a case, you likely think that there is serious trouble ahead.  My goal is to talk straight ... to tell the truth ... and by shining light on the dilemma --- help everyone understand what they’re facing and what the possibilities are.

I take the time to explain in a language they can understand exactly what the issues are. I know how to ask the right questions. They can explain to me in their own words what happened and I can translate that from legal jargon into what their rights and responsibilities will be.

I do that throughout the whole process, not at just the first meeting.... through the whole case.  

For any criminal defense legal services you think you might need, please feel free to contact the Rolloff Law Office for a FREE CONSULTATION and to earn a clear understanding of what your options are.  CALL NOW: (612) 234-1165

Minnesota Criminal Sentences (Explained)

Just as many of us know - there's more than one way to skin a cat - there are also many ways a Minnesota criminal case can be resolved.  As an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney, I've worked out deals that have encompassed everyone of these outcomes. 

Below are a list of the sentences one may receive in a Minnesota courtroom - with the best outcome (save for an outright dismissal) listed at the top with the "less" better results following behind.    

• Continuance for Dismissal/Continuance without Prosecution (CFD/CWOP): Here, the government sets aside your case for a set amount of time, and they then will dismiss the case after that period of time if you fulfill all of their conditions.
• Stay of Adjudication: The individual offers a guilty plea to the court, but the court does not accept it.  There is then a probationary period set with certain conditions.  If the terms of the probationary period are met, the case is dismissed at the end of that period.
• Stay of Imposition: The charged individual offers a guilty plea to the court which the court accepts, but does not impose the full sentence.  There is a probationary period set with certain conditions, and at the end of the probationary period (if all conditions are fulfilled) the conviction may be reduced (e.g. from a felony to a misdemeanor) or it may be vacated and dismissed.
• Stay of Execution of Sentence:  An individual offers a guilty plea which the court accepts.  He/she is then placed on probation, with certain (or all) terms of the sentence are stayed - not given.  For example, someone who is sentence to 30 days in jail “stayed” would not have to go to jail if they successfully fulfill the terms of their probation.
• Execution of Sentence:  Here, the accused offers a guilty plea which the court accepts, and the sentence is imposed without any terms/conditions stayed.  For example, someone who is sentenced to 90 days of jail “executed” would actually have to serve that jail time.

What Can You Do?

My approach to handling my client's cases is to be persistent and to diligently work toward getting them the outcome they desire - ie., getting their case dismissed if at all possible. To do that, I explore all options; I gather all necessary information regarding their arrest and the investigation by law enforcement agencies; and I consider the circumstances of the charges in their case, as well as any previous criminal history. Then, and only then, do I move forward with the options for dismissal available in your criminal case.

Since dismissals can occur anytime after the arrest (and often they happen later rather than sooner,) I never lose sight of that option throughout the proceedings. In that time, I'll work to negotiate throughout your case with the goal of getting the charges against you discharged.

If you (or someone you love) thinks that they need a lawyer, you probably need a lawyer. Call the Rolloff Law Office today at (612) 234-1165 and schedule a no-cost, no obligation consultation.

Private Attorney or Public Defender? (Explained)

The United State's Constitution asserts that we all of a right to an attorney - and if you can't afford one, a lawyer will be appoint to represent you.  Now, you may not qualify for the public defender, but if you do, you may be wondering whether you should keep your public defender or choose to hire an experience, private, Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney.

Public defenders are attorneys paid by the state, who do not choose their clients.  Similarly, you don’t get to choose which public defender you get.  In the case of private attorneys, individuals faced with a crime have available to them a wide array of lawyers with varying skill sets and fee structures to choose from.  Believe it or not, there are good, aggressive and affordable lawyers who can and will help you with your cases. 

Public defenders may be excellent lawyers, and many of them are; in fact, many excellent private criminal lawyers were once public defenders.  However, public defenders are incredibly busy and often handle a caseload that is simply unimaginable to a private attorney.  Because a private attorney chooses what cases he or she will take on, he can control his caseload and ensure that each client receives a high level of attention to detail.  If you are looking for an attorney to be available almost instantaneously on a 24/7 basis, a public defender may not be the way to go.

That being said, not all private defense lawyers are created equal – perhaps an obvious point, but an important one nonetheless.  Use your better judgment; you can glean a lot about the way an attorney will treat you once he has your money from the initial phone consultation and the initial in-office consultation.

Give This a Try

I got my start as a prosecutor - working for the government.  During my tenure working in the DA's office, I saw waaaaaay too many individuals who were under served and overcharged by their attorneys - public and private.  I also saw that there was a need to be filled for those individuals who didn't qualify for a public defender - but needed someone to assist them.

If you or someone you love needs help with a legal issue, call me to set up a FREE consultation.  I think you'll be surprised what some one in the know can tell you about your case - and how little it will actually cost to protect your rights and your future.  Call the Rolloff Law Office, today at (612) 61234-1165

Minnesota Jury Trials (Explained)

As any experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney will tell you --- very few criminal cases ever proceed to trial.  The fact of the matter is either someone is clearly guilty of the offense and will settle to get a good deal. Or the government's case is so poor that they'll decide to dismiss or put such an appealing offer on the table that even an innocent party will feel compelled to take it, after weighing the "worst-case-scenario" outcome they could face if the prosecutor got lucky.  That being said, you know who else has "issues" about jury trials?   Judges do.  After more than a decade of working with them, I think I finally understand why.

1.

There are two main reasons judges dislike jury trials: When a lawyer becomes a judge, they are idealistic and proud to be in this noble system of justice. Yet, over time, they grow frustrated with results beyond their control. After presiding over thousands of cases, they start to develop an opinion about what is "right". While judges get to sentence people and tell lawyers what is right and wrong in Drunk Driving, Assault and  Theft cases that plead out, they have no control over the issue of guilt or innocence when a jury is involved.

I believe that (at some level) judges resent this loss of control and develop something of a complex. They like being in charge - and when a case's decision is up to a jury they become somewhat resentful because it denies them the control they crave. 

2.

The second reason? Calender control. The judge's calender is a delicate science - bordering on art. As our society erodes from the consequences of our moral promiscuity ... crime soars. This increase means that each judge is required to handle more cases. Adding many new cases a week, over time, creates an unmanageable docket. This time crunch could force judges to cut corners if they don't want to work around the clock -  and jury trials are time hogs

A judge can conduct a court trial, without a jury, in a third the time it takes to do a jury trial. There are many procedural steps a judge must ensure with a jury. Juries can't hear certain evidence. Juries must constantly be instructed on the law. The list goes on and on. Jury trials simply take a lot of time. In a world where judges don't have time, they look for ways to cut corners and be more efficient - even at the expense of defendants. Judges can do this in every area except jury trials. As such, jury trials become time hogs and judges may come to resent them.

What This Means to You.

The downside of this trend is that if a defendant forces his case to a jury trial, the judge could well hold it against that person at sentencing - if they lose. As an example, a case which might have settled for straight probation if concluded as part of a plea agreement, might cost the guilty defendant some jail, if not prison, after a jury trial. However, there is also a benefit to this judicial trend. Since judges hate jury trials, they are becoming more accepting of generous plea bargains. That is good for defendants.

What Should You Do?

If your case has the potential to go to trial, be smart and increase your chance of success by exercising your right to remain silent, and call the Rolloff Law Office at (612) 234-1165. Together, we can protect your future.

Minnesota DWI - Videos (Explained)

If I told you that you were under arrest for a Minnesota DWI - and that the whole encounter with law enforcement was captured on video - what would you say?

My guess is that most people hearing that news would be pretty anxious or nervous about what was recorded - right?  Well, whenever I learn that there's a video of an arrest, I get kind of pumped.

Why I Love Drunk Driving Videos

In most Minnesota communities, police squad cars are being outfitted with the latest video recording equipment.  (Heck, in one city, officers own bodies are being used to carry such devices.)  And believe it or not, video is great for a number of reasons - not the least of which is that it doesn't have the biased view that law enforcement often carrys with them into almost any arrest situations.  Video cameras can't smell alcohol, they aren't congratulated on their number of Drunk Driving arrests they make and they don't have quotas for stops of vehicles and DWI investigations. They simply record what happens, as it happens.


Guess Who Hates Drunk Driving Videos.

If you might be anxious about how you'd appear on an arrest video - can you imagine how the officer feels?  If my past experience - working with law enforcement - as a prosecutor is any indication, they absolutely hate it.  They're number one complaint - that videos don't catch the little "nuances" of what they see.

Now, I never quite understood this argument because in my humble opinion the video is often as clear as day when it comes to showing someone doing or not doing something - such as: crossing a line, stumbling, or slurring their speech. 

The Truth

In theory, video was supposed to make the work of the DA easier and the work of a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney harder. But it usually works in the other way.

I love having video evidence - it shows me what the police reports never do: What actually happened.

What Should You Do?

If you are charged with Drunk Driving, don't wait to get help. Call the Rolloff Law Office today - (612) 234-1165. We are ready to serve as your Minnesota DWI Attorney, and we'll do whatever we can to get the resolution you want. Call

Minnesota Shoplifting - Theft by Swindle (Explained)

Shoplifting, Theft and/or Theft by Swindle are criminal offenses that crosses age groups, socio-economic status and races. Often offenses of this nature constitute either a huge mistake or a significant lapse in judgement that you regret.  Additionally, there are those cases of mistaken intention - where the accused is completely innocent. Either way, to preserve your future (and your clean criminal record) you should talk to a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney to discuss how you can fight these charges and/or resolve them without adding a permanent stain on your record.  To those ends, I can help.  .

I say this because in this age of instant background checks being part of almost any employment, housing or bank loan process - a mark as small as a petty Shoplifting offense can utterly destroy your future.

Minnesota Law

Under Minnesota law, Theft offenses are quite varied. An individual may have been accused of walking out of a store without paying for something or he may be accused of deceiving someone for financial gain. As a former prosecutor, I'm quite familiar with the  "ins and outs" of our state's Theft statutes and as such I can work to ensure that you get the outcome you deserve.

This involves looking after your rights (making sure that they're protected at every stage of the process) and to pick apart the government's case so as to earn you the best possible results for you and your future.   on your day in court.

Need More Information?

There are a number of acts that constitute Theft under Minnesota law. Additionally, the level of charge (eg., petty misdemeanor, misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony) your cited for depends on other complex factors including the value of the property or services alleged to have been stolen.  To be certain you know what you are up against when facing Minnesota Theft charges in court, call the Rolloff Law Office today - at (612) 234-1165 - to set up a FREE consultation.

I provide a thorough evaluation of your case and I'll inform you as to all of the possible defense options, and what you might expect to be the most likely outcome in your case.

Minnesota Attorney Fees (Explained)

As I've set forth in a number of different posts here and on my website, although costs should be chief among an individual's considerations when deciding who to go with when picking a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney - it should NEVER be #1.

I get it - no one wants to pay too much, or any more than they have to, for anything. And, it's no different when it comes to legal fees. Granted, my fees might be more than what some Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorneys charge - but you'll also find that they're less than some others. Yet there are still really two competing bookends to this scenario.

Many people are absolute "bargain hunters," intent on finding the lowest price on anything, regardless of quality, while others cannot help thinking that the more you pay for something, the better it must be. Most often, however, the very best "deal" lies in the middle.

As I asserted before, looking for a lawyer on a "low-bidder" basis is probably the worst way to find quality representation. This is because there is simply no way to not cut corners when offering a discount price.

On the opposite side of the coin, paying an arm & a leg all too often means getting "soaked." Anyone can request every document under the sun from the government and work the daylights out of a file, but whether or not that is necessary, or even advisable, is another thing altogether.

Example

Imagine a pipe leak in your basement:

One contractor may propose excavating all the soil around that wall in order to "get a good look" at the problem. This may cost thousands of dollars, but that certainly will do it.

Another contractor may simply show up and, for $150, slap some waterproof paint over the spot. That may very well stop the leak for a while.

Yet a third contractor may show up, trace the leak, and know, right out of the gate, that the right repair is to pump an epoxy sealant into the crack, fixing and sealing it forever. His fix will cost about $350.

The cheapest "deal" turns out not to be any kind of "deal" at all. The most expensive is downright wasteful, while the middle ground approach turns out to be the best bang for the buck.

Hiring a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney isn't really much different. The primary question becomes how much work is necessary - something that can vary from case to case.

A good attorney will always engage in a factual investigation once he takes on a case.

A bargain lawyer simply cannot afford to do that and expect to turn a profit, so they'll simply sign the client up for a quick plea deal.

The overpriced lawyers will often spin a large story about all the things that "could" be wrong with the case. (To be fair, these guys will rarely charge an exorbitant fee and simply rush in and quickly take a plea. They'll spend the time and effort and get enough records to choke a horse. The problem is that, all too often, this is a complete waste of time and money.)

Going back to the leaky basement wall, the most expensive contractor could tell the homeowner that they'll inspect the entire foundation of the home and dig up all the soil around all the basement walls, but in the end, in most cases, they'll wind up injecting the same epoxy into the crack that the middle guy would, except they'll wind up doing that after they've done several other thousand dollars worth of unnecessary and wasted work.

What Should You Do?

First, avoid the low-bidders. They bring nothing to the table but a waste of money. No self-respecting Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney who thinks enough of his skills markets themselves on a bargain basis. I certainly don't. If they don't think enough of themselves to compete in the big leagues, it's not likely that any prosecutors or judges do, either. They build a practice upon moving cases in and out as quickly as possible, and their income is based on doing as little as possible in as many cases as possible. That's no way to have something as important as your criminal case handled.

Instead, a person should look for an attorney who will charge a fee that will include doing the necessary background work and investigation to make sure the crime charged is legally sound, and, if not, will then have a built-in structure to charge for the work necessary to intelligently challenge weak evidence.

Some cases are rather obviously solid. Say, when a Drunk Driver crashes into another car, and the cops arrive at the scene to find one of the drivers behind the wheel and obviously under the influence, it is highly unlikely that any judge will be tossing that case out. You can spend any amount and subpoena everything right down to the arresting officer's kindergarten school records, but such effort is not likely to result in the case being dismissed.

Other cases almost scream: FIGHT!  Say, when a driver is pulled over for suspicion of DWI, and no breath or blood test is given, there is no actual evidence of intoxication. Taking a plea in such a case is simply selling out the client.

---

As a former prosecutor, if I sense that your case seems to have the hallmarks of being sound enough to not get tossed out, which really accounts for most cases, I'll begin the preparation process at our first meeting. I'll introduce you to the alcohol assessment process, and we'll get our first crack at learning how to perform as well as possible on it.  Ideally, we'll make you a very appealing candidate for leniency - to earn you the best possible outcome for your case.



---

Hiring a lawyer means paying a lawyer. Pay too little, and you'll get too little. Pay too much, and you've just wasted your hard earned money. A good lawyer, or even a bargain lawyer, will cost more than a new refrigerator or TV set. Most people will spend some time and research such a purchase before handing over their money. It only makes sense to put in at least as much effort in finding the right lawyer to handle your case as it does in buying a new appliance.

In the end, about the best advice a person can follow in this situation is to "spend wisely." Who can argue with that?

Minnesota Vehilce Stops (Explained)

Believe it or not, the police have to have an excuse to pull you over.  To some this might come as a shock - but that's the law.  On area ripe for consideration i a Drunk Driving case (or any crime really - whether a vehicle is involved or not) is the question of whether law enforcement has a valid reason to stop and/or have contact with you.  As such, here are a couple of things to keep in mind.

What Constitutes an Unlawful Police Stop?

Despite one's best efforts, at any moment, a police officer can stop and pull you over. Sometimes these stops are based on a legitimate concern the officer has about your driving or your safety or whatnot.  However, far too often, theses "stops" are completely without merit and border on being illegal.

An officer is only legally empowered to pull you over if he has witnessed you break the law, or has sufficient cause to believe that you are breaking the law and they need to further investigate your behavior.

Unless you are engaging in specific behavior that catches an officer’s eye, they are not allowed to just pull you over or stop you on the street.  If they do this - without just cause - there may be grounds for having your case dismissed.

Vehicle Stops

The police are on the look-out for multiple activities that may indicate a driver is operating their vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These may include reckless maneuvers such as swerving in and out of lanes, driving excessively fast, running red lights, failing to stop at posted stop signs and driving too slow. Officers aren’t above the law however, and can be held accountable for failing to properly conduct themselves.

What Should You Do?

If your arrest - for a DWI or possession of contraband/drugs - was the result of being pulled over by a police officer without probable cause, an experienced Minnesota DWI Attorney can provide you with the proper legal insight to hopefully arrest overturned.  I have ample experience working cases such as these from both sides of the aisle - from the prosecution side and the criminal defense side - and I'm thoroughly familiar with all elements of such arrests, including officers unlawfully pulling over a motorist.

The Rolloff Law Office will look intently into the circumstances surrounding your arrest in order to determine if the officer acted improperly when pulling you over, and thus violated your civil rights. I’m passionate about defending people against charges of Drunk Driving and will fight tirelessly on your behalf to try and have the charges dropped or reduced.  Call or text today - to (612) 234-1165- to set up a free, no obligation consultation.

Minnesota Theft Crimes (Explained)

Theft offenses can range from Shoplifting, which is a often cited as misdemeanor, all the way up to Aggravated Theft of Property, which is a felony.

Regardless of the charges you or someone you love may be facing pertaining to Theft, odds are you will need the services of an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney who focuses his practice on these types of crimes to ensure that your rights are upheld and that your future isn't ruined.

What You Should Do?

If you are facing theft charges in Minnesota, I'd advise you to contact the Rolloff Law Office as soon as possible.  The quicker you have an attorney involved in the handling of your case, the more effective he can be and the better the results may be for the outcome of your case. I'm a former prosecutor who has worked dozens of these cases - from both sides of the aisle.  I am in a unique position to help you fight these charges and/or earn you the best possible outcome.  Call today to set up a FREE consultation: (612) 234-1165.

Why You Should Do That

Theft charges will follow if you take control of another's property or services with the purpose of trying to deprive them of it without their permission - through the use of force, deception, threat, or intimidation. The seriousness of the charges and the penalties these accusations carry will depend on the facts of your case, including the value of the goods, property, or services that was stolen. The charges will be elevated even further under specific circumstances, such as theft involving the elderly, disabled persons, theft of a firearm, or theft involving drugs.

In order to protect yourself in court and minimize the adverse consequences, it is in your best interests to consult with an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney who has the knowledge and skills to aggressively defend you. against these charges.

Arrested For Minnesota DWI Over the Holidays? (What To Do Next.)

If you were one of the many who hit Minnesota's highways and by-ways this past weekend, you probably noticed the increased police presence as part of the government’s Drunk Driving enforcement efforts.

Unlike other times of the year, these sorts of concentrated efforts to ensure safety have certain side-effects - such as that police officers are in the mindset to make arrests and thus make a high number of false arrests.

False Drunk Driving Arrests in Minnesota


The Minnesota DWI Attorneys at the Rolloff Law Office have fought many Drunk Driving cases and demonstrated that bad equipment, improper lab work and under-trained/over-worked police officers are all common causes for these problematic arrests.

As a former prosecutor, I know a good case from a problematic one.  With  my "inside knowledge of the government's mind-set and schemes, I offer a rigorous and thorough defense to protect the rights of my clients to get them the best possible results.

The Next Best Step

If you are one of the many people who were charged with a Minnesota DWI over the holiday weekend act now by calling (612) 234-1165.

You are entitled to a free detailed consultation - call today and I will explain the charges against you, review the evidence and help you chart out a course of action.

The Rolloff Law Office has the knowledge, experience and dedication to fight your case to the finish.

Minnesota DWI Questions - Answered

With the upcoming holidays, they'll be the opportunity to eat, drink and be merry.  If you do a little too much of either, you could subject yourself to the possibility of a ticket or legal charges.  Before you get your "ho-ho-ho" on, here are some things that you might want to keep in mind.  These are some of the frequently asked questions I get, as a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney.

1. Will I be able to get my case dismissed because I was not read my rights?
   Probably not. But if you were interrogated after being placed in custody, your statements cannot be used against you.
2. Will I go to jail?
   An experienced Minnesota DWI Attorney may be able to keep you out.
3. I had three alcohol related driving offenses within the past ten-years, what's going to happen to me?  The "look back" period in the State of Minnesota is 10 years.  If you've been found guilty of DWI and/or loss your driver's license as the result of a drunk driving arrest (within the past 10 years) each of those old arrest can be used to enhance the new charge you're facing.  If this is your 4th such incident in the past 10 years - you're no looking at the possibility of being charged with a Felony.
4. Am I a bad person, because I was arrested for a MN DWI?
   No, but you are well advised to never, never smell like alcohol while behind the wheel. You do not need to feel humiliated.
5. What if I burped within twenty minutes of blowing?
   The breath machine may have read alcohol from your stomach rather than you lungs. The result may be incorrect. A similar problem occurs with dentures.

What Should You Do?
My approach to handling my client's cases is informed by my previous experience prosecuting cases for the government.  That inside knowledge, of the government's schemes and motivations, has helped me win my clients the results they want --- not just what the State is willing to offer.

Minnesota Property Seizures (Explained)

In addition to your freedom, your participation (true or not) in a crime could also result in the loss of your property. Investigations by the government can result in the forfeiture of your property, even if you are never charged with a committing crime.

According to the laws of the State of Minnesota, your property can be seized if:

• the seizure is incident to a lawful arrest or a lawful search;
• the property subject to seizure has been the subject of a prior judgment in favor of the state in a criminal injunction or forfeiture proceeding under this chapter; or
• the agency has probable cause to believe that the delay occasioned by the necessity to obtain process would result in the removal or destruction of the property and that: the property was used or is intended to be used in commission of a felony; or
• the property is dangerous to health or safety.

What This Means to You

Well, if you're driving your vehicle and are stopped for a felony-level Drunk Driving offense or a drug charge, law enforcement can seize it.  If the government believes that you are selling drugs, they can take any cash they find if they believe it is intended to be used in the commission of a said crime. Almost any property that the cops believe is part of a crime, they can (and often will) take and keep it.

Common Items Seized

• Cash
• Weapons
• Cars or trucks
• Computers

In addition to this list, the government can order other items seized and forfeited; sometimes up to and including your home. Again --- anyhing they believe was used in the commission of a felony can be seized.

How Does This Happen?

The procedure the government use is quite simple and can occur without a heck of a lot of justification.  Rather, the burned in often up to the person whose property was seized to challenge the the taking. Worse, any decision on the property the government seized may be delayed months or years while any possible criminal case is pending.

What Should You Do?

What can you do? First, you must act within a very short period of time – often as little as two months – to work to get your property back. Then you have to take the case to court and challenge the government over what they took from you. Having an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney help you through this process can make it much easier, and make it more likely that you will recover the things that were taken from you. If you've had property seized, call the Rolloff Law Office today and see what they can do to help you recover it.. Call today - (612) 234-1165 -  to schedule a free consultation.

Minnesota DWI and Criminal Attorney Fees (Explained)

Whether or not you've dealt with an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense or DWI Attorney before, you probably assume one thing - it's going to be expensive. And, if you're like me or like most people, you want to get the best lawyer possible for the lowest amount of money, right?

Although I agree that price is a valid factor to consider, you also need to acknowledge this: the Minnesota DWI Attorney that you decide to hire is going to be trusted with a lot of responsibility. He will be holding your life - and your future - in his hands.

If he fails to do the work, put forth the effort or pick up the phone when you call - it's not him that will pay the price.  Rather, you (and you alone) will be the one who could end up in jail, paying huge fines and losing everything that is important to you.

In the end, you need to ask yourself this: What is my freedom, my hard earned money, and my reputation worth to me?

With So Much at Stake, Do You Really Want the Cheapest Option?

Some people can be scared off by the fees I charge.  Now, I'll guarantee you I'm not most expensive Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney out there, but I'm also probably not the cheapest either.  I charge what I charge because I provide more value than the attorneys out there selling you on price. What I offer is, unlike other Minnesota DWI attorneys, great legal services that earn my clients the results that they desire.  I can also assure you that at the end of the day I'm doing everything I can to protect you, your rights and your future.

Minnesota Theft Charges (Explained)

Either way, you have to know your rights and - if warranted - fight the criminal court system now, and an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney can help.

Under Minnesota law, Theft offenses are quite varied. You can be charged with a crime if you walk out of a store forgetting to pay for your purchase and/or if you do con someone out of of a personal possession.  From my time as a prosecutor, I know the  "ins" and "outs" of Minnesota's Theft laws (as well as what motivates the government) and can use that inside knowledge to make sure that you get the results you deserve.
