State v. J.F.
Stay of adjudication to one case and the other dismissed. There was no defense to the charges based on the allegations, video, and statement made by the client.

Now, after successfully completing minimal terms of probation, BOTH cases will be dismissed and he will be able to expu
State v. S.T.
Stay of adjudication to the indecent exposure charge and a conviction to the disorderly conduct charge. With zero defenses available and rather awful facts, the North Star team still achieved this fantastic result, where the client avoid a criminal conviction record relating to either the sex crime charge or the assaults. A remorseful and proactive client followed our guidance and did what needed
State v. K.S.
Dismissed. The client was alleged to have engaged in lewd conduct in a public park. But the facts simply did not support the statutory framework of the charge. The North Star team utilized a smart and tactful approach. And the City Attorney, to her credit, made the right decision to dismiss this case due to insufficient evidence to support it. On top of that, the North Star team sought and achieve
State v. A.S.
In this matter, the script is flipped… Mr. Adkins assisted the mother of a complainant, a minor, in navigating the horrors of sustaining a complaint of sexual violence against a truly twisted offender. Mr. Adkins coordinated communication with the State, protected the young lady from needless inquiries or a need to testify, ensured that her needs and desires were included in the Court’s consider
State vs. Confidential
Declination/Nolle Prosequi Letter pending (no charges!). This client, a young man accused of sexual misconduct at his high school, was initially set to meet with investigators to (hopefully!) explain some miscommunication and contextualize a relationship. After a call to North Star, hoping to confirm the good intentions of the investigators and to be told he had the right strategy in mind, that me
State v. J.H.
Case dismissed prior to trial. Our client was a young man who was wrongfully accused of rape.

And through this detailed investigation and aggressive pursuit of the truth, it quickly became apparent that much of the
State v. J.H.
Case Dismissed. The North Star team raised a self-defense claim and utilized the mental health treatment the client was undergoing to negotiate the client to a great offer leading up to trial.

With a trial date set, the State knew it had to dismiss the case due to both the self-defense cla
State v. J.B.
Gross misdemeanor sentence with no jail to serve. On top of getting this incredible outcome, the terms of probation are minimal and simply seek to have the client stay on track with therapy. For an individual without a criminal record and facing the possibility of losing his job, achieving a non-felony outcome was necessary. Armed with no real defense, the North Star still was able to negotiate th
State v. A.V.
The first degree case was amended to a third degree criminal sexual conduct and the client was admitted into the deferred adjudication program.

He now can earn the continued clean record and never be convicted of any offense, despit
State v. C.S.
Plea to an amended count of Disorderly Conduct. For a case involving public masturbation in a parked vehicle, avoiding an indecent exposure conviction – as well as any time in custody – was a critical result for the client.
