THE CHARGE By ArrestedMN.com Vol 1 Issue 2


Ryan helped get the law changed in a case that went all the way up to the Idaho Supreme Court on K-9 dog searches of a vehicle. Believe it or not, K-9 dogs cannot do whatever they want to justify the search of a vehicle.

Maggie represented a client who had filed and obtained a Harrassment Restraining Order pro se (Pro Se means representing yourself in court). Maggie was hired because the opposing party challenged the HRO and the client needed a strong advocate in their corner to help keep the order and protect them from more harassment. Maggie ultimately negotiated an amazing agreement for the client, extending the Court's Harassment Restraining Order, plus a two-year No Contact Agreement, plus a 50 year non disclosure agreement. Incredible!

Marie worked hard to earn a dismissal in a domestic assault case against her client. The client was firm that the allegations were entirely made up and that he was in fact a victim of domestic violence. By collecting key evidence and presenting a compelling defense story to the prosecution, the government agreed and dismissed the case outright the day of trial.

EXTRAS

Monthly tip: If you have kids home from college for break, take a look at their drivers license, tabs, and/or passport to make sure documents are not expired. These are easy fixes, but can take some time and energy to update. Getting out ahead of these small things can help avoid a crunch later on when it may be too late.

Ryan bought a mini mic this summer to interview the kids' sports teams and capture family memories. We're using that same idea to capture a family member's memories of his life in his own words, decade by decade, as he's in hospice. Life is so precious! Take the time to be present with your loved ones.

The holidays are also a tough time of year for lots of folks, in particular if families struggle with substance use disorder issues. If you find yourself needing some extra support, you can check out meeting schedules here or here to find options for group support.

Ryan defended a military veteran facing prison time for brandishing his firearm in self defense. The accusers lied and said he pointed it at them. Ryan did not give up and eventually the entire case was dismissed. In another case, Ryan prevailed at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (this is rare!) on an issue concerning the Sixth Amendment right to a fair and impartial jury, in particular a jury free of racial bias. Read the opinion. Maggie recently won a Harassment Restraining Order case...
