Sure, it probably comes as no surprise that many (if not most) people accused of crimes are in fact guilty --- maybe not of the crime they're charged but something - right?
Negotiator
All too often, individuals often come to me with little or no hope, wondering what (if anything) can be done. One of the first things that I tell them is that although they may be guilty of something, they may not be guilty of the specific crime they are charged with. An experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney will make sure that the crime is properly charged, and that all the applicable rules and laws are followed throughout the case. In addition, a lawyer is often able to negotiate a favorable settlement, even in cases of clear guilt. If a lawyer is able to reduce a presumed sentence by even a month or two --- or the level of the charge from say a Felony to a Misdemeanor --- then the fees you're charged ill have been well worth it. Additionally, good lawyers are often able to negotiate reduced fines, reduced jail time and probation, etc.
Counselor
Lawyers play many roles --- all too often those accused of crimes are often in need of something more than merely being represented in court. Sometimes the crime itself is more accurately described as the symptom of a more serious problem, such as a chemical addiction or a mental health issue. Criminals may do bad things, but I firmly believe they are not bad people. Generally speaking, their biggest problem is what could be described as a “lack of foresight” or exercising poor judgement.
A lawyer can help counsel their client, advising them to address any underlying issues. This type of advice includes encouraging the client to seek treatment, find a job or start education, and to keep their life happy and stable. Depending on the client, I sometimes encourage them to seek some spiritual guidance as well.
There is a balance that must be struck, however. Those accused of crimes do not need another person to lecture them on their mistakes. Most already acknowledge that they screwed up somehow, and most are ready to make a change. It is the lawyer’s role to encourage them and assist them in making the changes they want to make. One of the very best parts about being a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney is that I have the privilege of finding people at the time in their lives where they are most willing to make changes for the better. Rather than focusing too much on the past, I believe it is best to focus on the future. Despite the obstacles, the future for most criminals can be very bright, especially with the right encouragement and the right counsel.

ReplyDeleteYour car could be stolen if you don't keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteImagine that your car was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a particular "VIN lookup"
A VIN decoder: What is it?
Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out when the car was born and who its "parent"( manufacturing plant) is. You can also figure out:
1.Type of engine
2.Automobile model
3.The DMV and the limitations it imposes
4.The number of drivers in this vehicle
The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be examined in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person sitting on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.
What happens if the VIN is harmed on purpose?
There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in prison. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.
Conclusion.
The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
