State v. M.E.

Stay of Adjudication to one count of a misdemeanor DWI. The client received this remarkable outcome after the North Star team was able to demonstrate to the prosecutor how a plea would critically impact her professional and personal life. The client would've lost her job, even with a Careless Driving, and been prevented from traveling to Canada to see her significant other. Proactive steps demonstrated that she was not a public safety risk. The case dragged on for close to a year. But the length allowed the prosecutor to see that the client was taking this seriously. In the end, this unheard of outcome - at least to defendants not represented by North Star Criminal Defense (because we've gotten this outcome before even!) - was obtained for a deserving client.
