State v. S.D.
Dismissed. Client was facing a felony case, resulting from an alleged incident with his significant other. The facts, though, simply didn’t add up and the complaining witness was adamant that she did not want to pursue this case further. Add in a thoughtful motion to dismiss filed by the North Star team, the State finally concluded that they had to drop the case. And did so prior to the motion hea
State v. C.X.
Mr. Adkins waives wand, magic results… or so it would seem. In this matter, a dad who allegedly pointed his firearm at another driver in a road rage dispute, rolled the dice with complete acceptance of responsibility, with his lawyer working hard as hell, and trusting a wise and worldly judge, notwithstanding a smart and motivated prosecutor arguing strongly in opposition, and… the felony evap

EJJ/No Juvenile Adjudication, NO Adult felony repercussions.

State v. M.M.
Case out of Washington County was dismissed on day of trial. Intense investigation led to a rapid dissolution of the State’s case, preserving a perfect lawful record of a talented professional man. A voluntary confession wasn’t the massive hurdle it generally would be, after North Star’s efforts came to bear on the case; however, this matter and so many others do point up how absolutely vital, how
State v. (Confidential)
Case out of Washington County was Continued for Dismissal/Diverson. An outstanding client gets a better result. Complex facts, unfortunately rather easy to prove as misconduct and insurance fraud, was disproven sufficiently by aggressive investigation and outstanding work by North Star support staff for the State to offer a short-term dismissal program, no guilty plea required. Client, a professio
State v. A.S.
Dismissed. This matter concerned a felony count of Threats of Violence, and allegations of gunpoint menacing during a road rage incident (which could have led to an amended complaint including a Second Degree Assault count, with potential prison implications).
