Stay of adjudication to one misdemeanor case, while the other three cases are dismissed. The end result is a dismissal of all cases. On top of this ridiculously great outcome, the terms of probation are minimal – pay restitution, pay a small fine, and stay good for one year. Despite having a client who had no legal defenses available, Mr. Gempeler managed to obtain such an incredible outcome due t
Continuance for Dismissal. This matter, involving an employee dipping deep into the company cash register, could have resulted in not only a conviction and the related (turpitude, meaning lying/cheating/stealing) massive collateral consequences, is now continued for dismissal, with no sanctions whatsoever, and the client can return to a quiet life while chasing full status in our wonderful nation.
Outright dismissal! A complete win! Mr. Adkins took this wonderful lady, who had made some unfortunate decisions with a bequest in the many thousands of dollars, and withdrew her from the justice system completely, with an expedited expungement in the works. Hustle matters, in the accountability game, as does creativity and accountability. In this instance, no record impact will result, no headach
In a remarkable legal outcome, Dan achieved a stay of adjudication despite the State’s strong objections. This was largely due to the extensive and well-coordinated campaign led by Dan, alongside the full repayment of the disputed amount, significantly lower than what was initially indicated in the audit process. As a result, our client will not face any conviction related to this matter, which at
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
North Star successfully secured a stay of adjudication for our client, who faced two challenging charges of theft within her family. This outcome was achieved after she demonstrated remarkable dedication by fully pre-paying the required restitution prior to the court proceedings. This case illustrates the importance of perseverance, innovative strategies, and a strong sense of accountability, espe
Despite strong opposition from the State, Dan secured a Stay of Imposition for a client facing multiple charges, an expanding list of alleged victims, and serious exposure to incarceration and restitution demands. The prosecution pushed aggressively for a Stay of Execution with significant penalties, but through strategic advocacy and the client’s genuine remorse, the court granted a more lenient
Stay of Adjudication with no restitution! State initially demanded a conviction and restitution of nearly $40K, and one of the State’s most conservative judges on the bench would not have likely permitted any resolution short of an all-but-unwinnable jury trial. However, Mr. Adkins employed creativity in extremis, and with a client committed to recovering and repairing the damage (the victims were
Stay of Adjudication. State initially demanded a conviction and substantial jail term, but Defendant’s hustle and Mr. Adkins’ artful arguments (commercial theft cases can often involve substantial witness and documentation challenges, creating a point of leverage for a gifted defender) resulted in a 6-month stay with no conviction and no collateral consequences. Client would have been immediately
Stay of Adjudication. Client was charged with stealing merchandise from a local Target several times over the course of a couple of weeks. And the State had surveillance video showing the theft acts from beginning to end – i.e. there were no defenses to the charge. Still, Mr. Gempeler emphasized the client’s overall good record, remorse, accountability, and need to avoid creating a record that wil
