State V. A.D.

County: Hennepin
Original Charge: (F) 2nd Degree Burglary, Felony Theft
Test Result: None
Priors: None
Final Disposition: STAY OF IMPOSITION* on 2nd Degree Burglary, Felony Theft Dismissed

Sentence Imposed:

This was a very serious charge, carrying a very serious term of jail for the client if convicted. Our attorneys were able to negotiate for a Stay of Imposition, and avoid any significant jail time on behalf of the Client. The client was sentenced to only 90 days of executed jail, and was ordered to pay Restitution.
* If a Stay of Imposition is granted, the imposition (or pronouncement) of a prison sentence is delayed to some future date, provided that until that date the offender comply with conditions established by the court. If the offender does comply with those conditions until that date, the case is discharged, and for civil purposes (employment applications, etc.) the offender has a record of a misdemeanor rather than a felony conviction.

    Great team of lawyers: They were very understanding and considerate of my situation. Gerald asked about my occupation and based the fee on what I could reasonably afford, which showed a level of compassion and thoughtfulness you don’t see often. At court, Annalise was able to have the criminal traffic charge reduced to just a ticket. She also asked the prosecutor to reduce the ticket fee, she took into account that I’m a single mom. I truly appreciate how compassionate and supportive their team is. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone as they were initially recommended to me from a coworker.
