Misdemeanor

To see just how successful our approach is, here are some representative results:

State v. M.D.

May, 2016
Charges: Misdemeanor Failing to Yield

Continuance for Dismissal. Client was charged as a result of an accident that was no one's fault. The client had a completely clean criminal and traffic record and it was imperative to keep it that way. Mr. Adkins negotiated this desirable outcome and kept the prosecution costs to a minimum - $100 - and restitution was reserved. Client is thrilled with this outcome.

Types of Charge(s): Misdemeanor

State v. N.M.

February, 2016
Charges: Contempt of Court, Stalking, and Attempted Coercion

Dismissed. Client was initially charged with just contempt of court - which was wrongfully filed. Prior to the contested hearing, the State added the two additional counts. After further consideration and discussions, the case was dismissed prior to the contested hearing. This was the appropriate result when the initial charge was baseless and the State then employed the shotgun method of trying to make one charge fit. Ultimately, none did and the dismissal was warranted. A great result for a veteran of the armed services.

Types of Charge(s): Misdemeanor

State v. A.S.

February, 2016
Charges: Underage Consumption

Continuance for dismissal. The client was in the process of wrapping up a prior underage consumption citation when he picked up a second while in school. Despite two pending underage consumptions, Mr. Gempeler was able to negotiate a resolution that will prevent any conviction on his record, which is critical for a college student about to enter the work force.

Types of Charge(s): Minor Consumption, Misdemeanor

State v. N.A.

August, 2015
Charges: Misdemeanor traffic offenses following an accident

Continuance for dismissal on both charges. The State's initial and "final" offer was a straight plea to a misdemeanor traffic offense. After aggressive and strategic negotiations - which included representations about the unavailability of a key witness following North Star's investigation - the State finally agreed to a continuance for a dismissal. The client will stave off a conviction and keep his insurance premiums low - thereby saving more money in the long-term than it took to retain us. It pays to hire North Star.
