Theft & Shoplifting Case Results
To see just how successful our approach is, here are some representative results:
State v. A.M.
November, 2016
Charges: Felony theft
Resolution:
Diversion and dismissal. Client was charged with a workplace theft - a serious offense that would have a long-lasting negative impact on his ability to gain employment in the future. The client was not eligible for diversion, thereby facing an offer to plead guilty to the offense as charge. Do to North Star's diligence and careful discussions with the County Attorney's office, the client became eligible for the diversion program more than a year after the alleged incident. The client is now able to keep a clean criminal record and stands a good chance to get an expungement of this record soon after he completes the diversion program.

State v. H.M.
October, 2016
Charges: Theft Counts (Career offender)
Resolution:
Both North Star attorneys took turns assisting this vital client, whose history is literally arms-long relative to prior theft and other turpitude-style convictions. Initial offers from prosecutors started at statutory maximum jail terms, or multiples thereof; the cases were eventually resolved for petty misdemeanor fines, no jail, no additional criminal conviction, and the still-young lady can continue her phoenix-like rise via treatment, employment rehabilitation and a completely spin-dried group of friends and associates. Both James and Dan like nothing more than to participate in a complete makeover for troubled clients, and they have rarely been as successful as here.

State v. C.A.
July, 2016
Charges: Misdemeanor theft.
Resolution:
Continuance for Dismissal. The terms of the agreement are minimal - small fine, no entry at place of theft, and no same or similar incidents (a non-issue with a clean record before this incident). With the client facing the possibility of losing her job if there was ever a plea or conviction, this was the necessary result obtained through the appropriate approach by North Star attorneys.

State v. J.O.
July, 2015
Charges: Felony Fraud/Forgery/Theft counts
Resolution:
Dismissal with prejudice of all counts. The win was the result of a combination of efforts, including Mr. Adkins’ research, expert-consultation, and successful courtroom arguments. Client may now continue his burgeoning music career without fear of this damaging mark on his character.

State v. B.G.
July, 2015
Charges: Misdemeanor Theft
Resolution:
Mr. Gempeler successfully moved the court to withdraw a previously entered guilty plea by the client (prior to Mr. Gempeler’s involvement). At the same time, the client obtained a stay of adjudication on the misdemeanor theft. The client is on one-year unsupervised probation and cannot commit any same or similar offenses. There was no new fine or costs imposed. This is a terrific result because not only did Mr. Gempeler have to move the court to withdraw the guilty plea, but then he negotiated such a favorable resolution on a theft that could have been charged out as a gross misdemeanor. Because of Mr. Gempeler’s work, the client went from a conviction on his record to a dismissal one-year from now.
