Resolution:

This matter, involving a bit of a lifetime drunken driver, took massive creativity and passionate advocacy from Mr. Adkins, to overcome a client who picked up another scary DUI while this one was just pending… and after some fits and starts at treatment, the client dove meaningfully into full recovery, impressed the hell out of a very skeptical judge, and avoided all but the most minor/unavoidable components of a ’super two’ DUI sentence—only 17 days of work release, the balance of a mandatory minimum sentence on house arrest, and a shortened probation term… which will help immeasurably when the second super two DUI is considered next month. You will see insane results like this with Dan and James and Sean, but only if you hire us…

Resolution:

Plea to an amended count of careless driving. On top of that fantastic outcome, the client is merely placed on unsupervised probation for one-year with no additional obligations going forward. What makes this particular outcome so remarkable is that the client blew a higher test with a prior conviction - but the legal issues Mr. Adkins raised meant the State wanted no chance of an acquittal or unfavorable judicial orders. Client is ecstatic, and returns to a commercial driving gig without a long suspension.

Resolution: Plea to an amended count of careless driving. Client was facing a gross misdemeanor refusal charge that was not beatable. But, Mr. Gempeler found a legal issue worth raising and then leveraged that into persistent plea negotiations that resulted in a non-DWI outcome - a truly remarkable outcome when facing a gross misdemeanor DWI charge. It goes to show that, even when facing daunting charges, the North Star team knows how to get creative and aggressive in implementing a unique strategy that nets these fantastic outcomes.

Resolution:

Continuance for Dismissal. The client was charged with stealing merchandise from local Target stores that totaled $550.95. Our young law clerk, Mr. Hoppe, with just a little oversight from the veteran attorneys on the team, was able to achieve an incredible outcome that resulted in the client essentially receiving a second chance - fine, no entry at place of theft, and no same or similar incidents. Assuming the client stays law-abiding for a year under unsupervised probation, the case will be completely dismissed and will stay off their record. Besides an outright dismissal, this is the best possible result a client can achieve in their case. A pretty damn great result achieved by our clerk, who managed this while balancing a full school schedule. He has bright future, to say the least.

Resolution:

Stay of adjudication to the disorderly conduct charge and the two domestic charges are dismissed. What's more - the terms of probation are merely a small fine and no same or similar - that's it. A truly remarkable outcome for a gross misdemeanor domestic out of Minneapolis. The Judge was even surprised by such an outcome, but these fantastic negotiations are commonplace with the North Star team. The client was nervous as heck leading into the hearing, but beyond relieved walking out, knowing that what happened won't define him or hold him back moving forward.

Resolution:

Plea to an amended count of misdemeanor 4th Degree DWI, with no time to serve and unsupervised probation for one-year. What makes this outcome more remarkable is that the client blew a .19 and got into an accident. The primary prosecutor would not budge, but he changed jobs near the end of this case. Mr. Gempeler strategically prolonged the case a bit to put some separation between the old prosecutor and new one. And at the delayed hearing, he was able to negotiate this incredible outcome - one the client was thrilled to achieve, but didn't think was possible based upon how the case had progressed. Savvy guidance pays off once again for a North Star client.

Resolution:

Plea to an amended misdemeanor count of DWI, with no time to serve, a fine, and easy terms of probation to follow. The client blew a .20 and had no legal defenses. On top of that, the city prosecutor is notoriously challenging to deal with on similar cases. Nonetheless, Mr. Gempeler leaned into the possible career implications in play and the client's proactive steps in order to negotiate this fantastic result. It was the exact outcome the client was hopeful for, but realistically did not expect. That's why you get the North Star team on your side - to get the unexpected.
