Free advice is a rare thing in the law, but here is some: Do not speak to the police. Ever. The police are there to gather evidence and get convictions. They are humans, and humans make mistakes, misunderstand, and misinterpret just like regular people. Simply changing a question mark into a period in a police report is all that it takes to put you in prison for the rest of your life. For example: 1. “I killed my wife? I am not crazy!” 2. “I killed my wife. I am not crazy!” In statement 1, you asked a question out of surprise, and exclaimed that you were not crazy enough to do that. In statement 2, you admitted to killing your wife and also stated you weren’t crazy when you did it. All that changed was the officer’s interpretation of whether you asked a question or made an assertion. With the swipe of a pen (or a typo) you could be looking at life in prison. Domestic Assault Crimes Domestic assault crimes, although often just misdemeanors, can affect your life in more ways than most felonies. These crimes oftentimes mushroom into orders for protection, divorces and messy custody disputes. Just being charged with domestic assault can result in you being excluded from your own home indefinitely and prevented from having contact with your spouse and children. If you work in a facility licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, you will likely also lose your job—and all of that happens

Drug Crimes Drug charges stemming from possession, sale, trafficking, and manufacturing are complex and often come with serious consequences.

It is not uncommon for criminal defendants to feel like their case is hopeless. However, most people do not know the law well enough to know when, for instance, there are constitutional issues that may require a dismissal of the charge(s). As your attorney, we will carefully examine the events leading to your traffic stop and the arresting officer’s actions during the stop, and any test administered. We will determine, among other things:

4. • Whether the implied consent advisory was properly administered. • Whether you were lawfully placed under arrest or subject to a proper traffic stop. • Whether you were given a proper opportunity to consult with an attorney before taking any blood alcohol test. • Whether the blood alcohol test was administered in accordance with the rules and procedures; and • Whether the charging documents are complete and proper. Sometimes even the smallest mistake can provide leverage to have the charges reduced or dismissed.
