Stages of the Criminal Justice Process in Minnesota:

1. Initial Hearing or Arraignment:

- The judge informs you of your rights and charges. Pleas may be entered, and pre-trial conditions set. Our goal is to secure your release as soon as possible.

2. Omnibus Hearing:

- We argue for charge dismissal or exclusion of evidence, challenging the prosecution's case.

3. Pre-Trial Hearing:

- Explore case resolutions without trial, such as plea deals or charge dismissals.

4. Trial:

- The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We present evidence and arguments to create doubt.

5. Sentencing:

- Post-guilty verdict, the judge determines the sentence. We argue for the most favorable outcomes.
