Misdemeanor Lawyer Blaine, MN
Don’t let a misdemeanor charge derail your life. Even if the charge doesn’t “seem like a big deal,” you’d be surprised at just how much of an impact having even a misdemeanor conviction has on the rest of your life. Depending on what type of charge it is (theft-related, DUI or DWI), you may have trouble finding employment; any job dealing with money or finances may pass on someone with a theft or fraud misdemeanor conviction, while a DUI conviction could render you ineligible for a commercial driver’s license or any job that requires operating a company vehicle.
Misdemeanors may also cost more than you think. Can you afford to take a month off work if you’re sentenced to 30 days in jail? Will you have a job waiting for you when you get out?
Don’t fight the Minnesota criminal justice system alone. We’re here to help. Our Blaine misdemeanor lawyer can negotiate with the prosecutor for reduced charges or explore alternative sentencing options to keep you out of jail. Our goal is the best possible outcome for your case, whether that means clearing you completely or, if that isn’t possible, ensuring that you have the least restrictive, lightest sentence possible.
We stand up for your rights at every step of the case process. You’ll have legal advice during police questioning, and we’ll swiftly end interrogation sessions that violate your rights. Our team investigates the incident, seeking evidence to clear your name. We also carefully examine how the police and prosecutor built their case against you; if we determine your rights were violated in the search or arrest, we seek to have any fruits of that action excluded from your case. We’re committed to protecting you every step of the way.
