Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

Re: Summons to appear in court

Thank you for the posty.

Any theft over $1000 may be charged as a very serious felony offense. The offense is complete when the money is taken. As a result, repaying the funds does not mean that the matter will not be charged.

It would appear that you have some significant mitigating circumstances. Your attorney can assist you in poresenting that information to the prosecutor. If a compelling showing is made, it is quite possible to avoid a felony and, in some cases, any criminal conviction whatsoever by completing a diversionary program.

I have over 17 years experience litigating such matters. I can certainly assist you and, based on your post, I am confident we can avoid trial and significant damage to your record.

Re: Summons to appear in court

That is a difficult question to answer, even for a client after a thorough discussion of what happened, the claims made by the government, and other investigation.

I think a better question to start would be: "what sort of outcome do I need to acheive?" If the answer is "keep my record clean," for example, then I recommend developing the best defense available, and working to acheive that goal -- however long it might take.
