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. I am a victim of an emotionally abusive and cruel wife, and i live in minnesota. She is currently out of the house
- A: There isn’t reality a cogent question here. But it seems to me that the place to start is by reaching out to some family law attorneys about pursuing a divorce here.
- Q. 25-10-13(M1) Violation of Protection or No Contact Order... if the respondent has violated this and person that placed
- A: Legally it does not matter if the petitioner or protected party initiated the contact. If is a violation of an OFP or no contact order if the respondent answers the call if he knows the protected party is the caller or if he continues the conversation upon realizing that the protected party is the caller.
- Q. will my license be suspended?
- A: You are looking at your insurance rates going through the roof with this mean tickets on your DL, especially if you keep driving the way that you are. The habitual offender revocation is very date specific. It would be important to have the dates of each of these citations/guilty pleas. The first thing you need to do is slow the hell down and drive with more caution. You don't want to be in a position where you cause an accident or to be in a situation where you lose your DL for 6 months. The second thing you should do is set up a consultation with an attorney to review the specifics of each of these violations - date of conviction, type of conviction, etc. to make sure that paying for this ticket isn't going to result in you losing your DL. Good luck.
