Jonathan Matthew Holson
I grew up throughout the Southeastern United States. I attended college at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina and I graduated with a B.A. in political science and philosophy. I moved to Minnesota in 1999 to attend the University of Minnesota law school and I decided stay after I graduated. Following graduation, I clerked for a Hennepin County Judge and then took a job with the Stearns County Public Defender's Office. I have been in private practice since 2016.
My practice involves representing people charged with crimes as well as individuals dealing with issues surrounding Orders for Protection and Harassment Restraining Orders - both petitioners and respondents. I am here to help with the collateral consequences as well including, but not limited to, driver's license revocations, motor vehicle forfeiture, employment concerns and more. Please contact me and I am available for a free consultation regarding whatever legal issues you might be facing.

- Q. Do ignition interlock violations get shared with probation officers, or just DVS?
- A: That is not necessarily something that will be reported to probation. However, probation might become aware that your interlock obligation was extended and would also likely become aware if your limited license was suspended due to continuing violations of the ignition interlock obligations.
- Q. no ticket, just mandatory crim hearing. petty misdemeanor shows online. do i need an attorney for turning on wrong lane?
- A: Yes, you should get an attorney. The charge is like a misdemeanor if there is a mandatory court appearance. That also leads me to believe that there was an accident. There will be an attorney prosecuting you. You should have attorney representing you.
- Q. How do i contest a search warrant based in the lack if probable cause
- A: You retain an attorney or get a public defender to raise the challenge to the search warrant. The prosecutor will be an attorney. This isn’t something you want to represent yourself on.
