State v. B.S.

Continuance for Dismissal. Client was alleged to have physically assaulted his significant other on a public street after a night out. Cops were called to the scene, took statements, and photos of the alleged injuries. The client was also struck by the significant other, though, and had no prior record. With a career aspiration in a field that cannot afford a record, it was imperative to avoid a conviction. Mr. Gempeler and the North Star team achieved exactly that with the best possible plea deal - one that involves no admission to wrongdoing or a conviction. It's a dismissal after a year of good behavior. A rare outcome on domestic assault cases, but one that isn't as rare for the North Star team.
