State v. A.V.
Case out of Anoka County. After motion practice, Client permitted to plead to a gross misdemeanor offense with only house arrest, a minimum fine, and drastically reduced probation, solely to the Court. Perhaps most importantly–even with complete avoidance of a felony conviction–the client’s vehicle was returned at no cost. A great result for a felony charge.
State v. S.B.
2nd Degree DWI case in Dakota County. After extensive negotiations, a strange DUI arrest shortly after a client resolved the last matter in which she was involved closed with no jail time required, a car returned notwithstanding a proper basis for forfeiture, and virtually no fine or other consequences. Stunning success, for a fantastic young lady.
State v. T.B.
Client pled to a misdemeanor careless driving with no jail to serve, a minimum fine, and only one-year on probation to the Court. In addition, the client did not have to waive his fight in the implied consent case. Ultimately, the license revocation that automatically happens following a DWI was rescinded. The end result for the client – no DWI on both his criminal and driving records. This is a c
State v. J.J.
Stay of Imposition to 3rd Degree DWI, meaning this will be a misdemeanor upon completion of probation. Client blew almost three-times the legal limit and was charged with assaulting the officer. Still, due in part to the client’s proactive measures to seek help, Mr. Gempeler was able to not only negotiate this incredible criminal result, but also negotiated the buy-back of the vehicle – a critical
State v. D.S.
Plea to a Misdemeanor 4th Degree DWI. Client was charged with a 3rd Degree DWI because of a prior offense. Still, Mr. Gempeler was not deterred in fighting for and ultimately obtaining a plea agreement to a 4th Degree misdemeanor DWI. Such an outcome is almost unheard of. But it was earned after the correct counseling of a thoughtful client and a deft touch during negotiations. For a veteran, this
State v. N.H.
Plea to an amended charge of 4th Degree DWI – Misdemeanor. This was a first-time offense, with an elevated reading of .20. The City’s policy of departing to a misdemeanor DWI on these types of cases is .18 – meaning, we had no business getting this agreement, per “policy”. But, the team at North Star understands policy can be overcome with the proper approach. Client was thrilled at the opportunit
State v. T.S.
Plea to Failing to Drive with Due Care. This is a prime example of how Mr. Gempeler is undeterred in seeking extraordinary results on routine cases. Client’s alcohol reading was .08. Immediately and predictably, the city’s offer was a careless driving, with an opportunity to fight the license revocation. Most attorneys grab this at the first hearing, sell their clients on this incredible outcome,
State v. F.L.
An extremely high PBT test and two aggravating factors out of Washington County, settled as essentially a 4th Degree DWI. The forfeiture of his motor vehicle dismissed and car returned without costs, driving privileges reinstated, and no jail time. This client was representing himself, facing a mandatory 6 months in jail, a three year revocation of his driving privileges, and the loss of his treas
State v. S.S.A.
Plea to 3rd Degree DWI – Gross Misdemeanor. The client had a recent prior (in fact, she’s still on probation from it) and a high breath test reading. Further, she had a single-car accident that resulted in damage to public property. Her vehicle was subject to forfeiture, as well. Still, despite this bad facts, Mr. Gempeler negotiated a result that is consistent with a standard, low-reading second-
State v. S.C.
Plea to a 4th Degree DWI with a standard result. This is a terrific result for a client that registered nearly three-times the legal limit on his first-time DWI. Due to a proper strategy and a pro-active approach by the client, Mr. Adkins was able to secure an outcome that resulted in no further jail or community service time, a small fine, and minimal conditions during probation. This is a misdem
