Biography

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. What kind of proof does the court need to charge someone with assault aside from hearsay?
A: The testimony of the alleged victim is not hearsay if she shows up and testifies under oath that you assaulted her. The fact that she is the only witness to the incident is not unusual. Many assaults occur when the only folks there are the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator. Listen to your attorney's advice and go to trial if that is what you ultimately want to do. You attorney will do what he or she can do to convince the jury that you are not guilty of the offense.
Q. Is there a form to petition the judge to have a MN DANCO removed or modified? I'm the victim of state brought DANCO
A: There is no form for this. You can certainly submit a letter to the Court asking for the DANCO to be modified or cancelled. The decision of whether that occurs is ultimately up to the judge who is assigned to handle the case. It is unlikely that the DANCO will be modified or cancelled if the criminal matter is still pending.
Q. Violation of probation, it was deemed i could not be violated due to I am in unable to work per the judge
A: First, this is not a double jeopardy issue. The fact that you were unable to work a year ago doesn't mean that you cannot work now. Mental health issues can get worse and they can get better. Ultimately, it would be up to probation to show in a violation hearing that you could've paid more towards the restitution obligation than you have been paying over the past year. Probation would not have to show that you could've paid off the entire restitution obligation.
