Domestic Assault – Fleeing Police – etc

Charge:

Domestic Assault, Fleeing from a Police Officer, Criminal Sexual Conduct, Disorderly Conduct, and Terroristic Threats.

Result:

Client pled guilty to disorderly conduct.  All other charges were dismissed.

Story:

Our Client was arrested following a false report of domestic assault.  Due to the Client’s immigration status, it was imperative that he not plead guilty to a violent crime or fleeing a police officer.  While the domestic assault charge was quickly dismissed, the Prosecutor maintained their stance that the Client should plead guilty to fleeing.  Naros Law’s diligent work, negotiation with the Prosecutor, and discussion with the Judge, allowed for all parties to come together on a fair result that kept our Client from being deported.  Client pled guilty to the Disorderly Conduct charge, kept his immigration status, and paid a minimal fine.

Assault on Police Officer – Obstructing the Legal Process – Fleeing Police

Charge:

4th Degree Assault on a Police Officer (felony), Obstructing the Legal Process, and Fleeing a Police Officer

Result:

Negotiated Plea Agreement – Client pled guilty to Obstructing the Legal Process, all other charges, including felony Assault on a Police Officer, were dismissed.

Story:

While standing outside of a bar our Client was observed by an officer on foot patrol to be very intoxicated.  When our Client reentered the bar, the officer advised him that he needed to go home due to their intoxication.  When our Client refused to leave, the officer asked for identification and soon discovered an active warrant in another state, as well as being on probation.  The officer asked our Client to sit in a squad car until their probation officer could be contacted to determine probation conditions, at which time our Client attempted to flee.  During the altercation the officers received several incidental injuries due to broken glass on the ground in the area.  After reviewing the evidence in this case, Naros Law determined that the officers did not have probable cause to detain or question our Client based on their brief observations of their intoxication.  Naros Law pressed forward with a Motion to Dismiss, and prior to the hearing the Prosecutor agreed to drop the felony charge.  Our Client was convicted of Obstructing the Legal Process, a misdemeanor, and received a minimal fine.

Domestic Assault – Disorderly Conduct – Interference with 911 Call

Charge:

Domestic Assault, Disorderly Conduct and Interference with a 911 Call

Result:

Negotiated plea agreement – Client pled guilty to both charges, but was sentenced with a Continuance for Dismissal.

Story:

Our Client was charged with Domestic Assault and Interference with a 911 Call following an isolated and one-time incident at the home.  Naros Law convinced the Court that our Client posed no risk for re-offending, posed no risk to the victim, and sought the help of a counselor, and was truly remorseful for what had occurred.  The Judge and Prosecutor agreed that the Client deserved an opportunity to prove they are law-abiding by sentencing both charges under a Continuance for Dismissal.  This means that upon successful completion of probation and all aspects of the sentence against them, our Client’s plea would be dismissed, and a criminal conviction would not remain on their record.  This gave our Client incentive to do everything within their power to make a real change in their life, and to become a better person through counseling and learning from their mistakes.

Obstructing the Legal Process – Assaulting Police Horse – Disorderly Conduct

Charge:

Obstructing the Legal Process, Assaulting a Police Horse, and Disorderly Conduct.

Result:

Negotiated Plea Agreement – All charges continued for dismissal.

Story:

After a Vikings game our out-of-towner Client and his friends walked from the Metrodome to a restaurant in downtown, Minneapolis.  A mounted police officer, who positioned himself on a busy sidewalk with high pedestrian traffic, directed his horse in front of Client’s path, causing him to bump into the horse.  A nearby police officer saw the incident and immediately tackled, tazed, and arrest our Client – charging him with a number of crimes that were not supported by the facts.  Naros Law was able to convince the Prosecutor and Judge that the Client should not plead guilty to the charges, and negotiated a compromise where the Court sentenced our Client under a Continuance for Dismissal.  This means that if the Client successfully completes probation and fulfill their sentence without any violation, the charges would be dismissed.  This type of sentence allows people without criminal records and who are not likely to re-offend to prove to the Court that they are able to remain law-abiding.

2nd Degree Felony Burglary

Charge:

2nd Degree Felony Burglary

Result:

Negotiated Plea Agreement – Client pled guilty to 2nd Degree Burglary with a Stay of Imposition.  Sentenced to 10 days community service, 29 days in the Hennepin County Workhouse (allowed to serve on weekends), and no fine.

Story:

While under the influence of alcohol our Client and a few of his friends broke into a home that our Client previously resided at.  The evidence in this case was overwhelmingly against our Client, and included physical evidence and witness statements.  Naros Law sought to ardently defend our Client and give them an opportunity to seek treatment, prove remorse, and negotiate for leniency from the Court.  In a situation where hard jail time and prison is a normal outcome, Naros Law’s determination to prevent an otherwise good person from landing in prison convinced the Court that our Client’s mistake was isolated and should not ruin the rest of their life.  Our Client received that second chance.
