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.

    2x Felon currently on Parole w/ a bag of misdemeanors to add and I had an accident where i crashed into the back of another car after driving like I shouldn't have been! So anyone in my shoes knows this is all bad! I called Gerry and from that moment all the anxiety, stress, worry and FEAR (let's keep it real) went away! He will keep it straight forward with you, he will always be available for you to call and ask questions and at no point will you feel out of the loop with your case. LISTEN every attorney is gonna try and tell you what you want to hear maybe even try to charge you way less. But YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR in the legal system period! Take it from a 41yr old convict who's seen and heard it all! Because of Gerry and his team I'm able to execute my parole in Sep. 25' Be FREE FROM PAPERS all because Gerry. I pled Guilty to a 4th deg dwi misdemeanor got a year of probation which rolled over to my parole agent. HE SAVED ME FROM GOING BACK TO PRISON! So listen you do what you want with this information! Oh and my guy just was charged with a Felony. So i called Gerry to see if he could help and not only is he helping he looked out for him on the $ part too! Because of me! (where was mine lol) Look he'll take care of you even when it's not for you lol! Thank you Gerry for everything you did for me, my family and friend.

    Great group to work with, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. They helped me get a better outcome than I could have gotten myself. Also very reasonable on cost. They kept me well informed through my time going through court and willing to help with any questions I have going forward now that my case is closed.

    Gerald Miller and Kyle Drager handled my case for me and got me a great result that was much better than I thought it would be. I mostly communicated with Kyle concerning my case and he would always answer my texts/questions promptly. Would highly recommend these guys.

    This is my first positive review I’ve written and it’s for good reason. I normally don’t do these kinds of things but Kyle Dreger absolutely blew me away with everything he did for my case. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome as it wasn’t looking good for me. Kyle walked me through each and every possible thing there was to know and explained everything so well and clearly. If you’re reading this right now and debating whether or not you would give them business, I wouldn’t hesitate in having them represent me again. Worth absolutely every penny and completely saved me. As I said, I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my case.
