The charges are extremely serious. As a result, you should hire an aggressive and experienced attorney.

Defenses are formulated based on all of the evidence. t also requires coming up with a cohesive theory for the case. Unfortunately, witnesses must be present in court to testify. Their reactions to questions can be as important as their responses. As a result, you must have your witnessses appear in Minnesota,
