State v. L.H.

Stay of adjudication. Despite facing 12 separate felony counts (which, if convicted of all 12, he was facing mandatory prison time), the North Star worked out this incredible outcome where he is never convicted of any crime, let alone a felony. To get to this point, the North Star had to dive into extensive discovery produced by the State and then follow-up, demanding additional discovery that proved critical to the negotiations. For instance, getting the communications log demonstrated that the Dept. of Revenue communications were actually sent to a business partner and the client could not have been the wrongdoer in that instance. Leveraging that information - among other favorable facts - led to an outcome where there is never a conviction, no fine, and no community service. A rare, fantastic outcome thanks to the North Star team.
