In re R.W.

In this Juvenile petition, Mr. Adkins connected the very young driver who, while distracted, struck a young pedestrian, who was fortunately not badly injured, with a program called Circles of Justice, and the case is now DISMISSED… after the State initially demanded a conviction and significant sanctions and challenges to the young client’s driving capacity. Restorative justice is mightily hard to obtain, unfortunately, in Minnesota Courts, and you will need a very creative and driven defender to access these lifesaving programs. North Star has a proven record of success, even in some instances where the State adamantly opposed the option to start. We get results, because we have wonderful clients who deserve our best work—and they get it.
