Are you charged with a crime that is not included in the other sections of this website? The state of Minnesota has over 100 statutory crimes just in chapter 609 alone. Minnesota is not quite as bad as the federal government with over 5,000 different crimes. But the ridiculous number of different laws similarly make it difficult for an average citizen to even know what is and what is not the law.  Whatever you are charged with, contact Subzero Criminal Defense to see if we can help you.

The potential jail or prison time you may be facing will be defined by statute. Additionally, a conviction in Minnesota can have significant collateral consequences that go beyond the direct penalties imposed by the court at sentencing. Some examples of collateral consequences include the loss of right to possess a firearm, forfeiture of money or property, and loss of job opportunities because your criminal conviction. What penalties and collateral consequences you face will depend on your circumstances. 

If you look at the caption of the case, it will says the “State of Minnesota v. [Your name]”. It’s not a fair fight. It's one person versus the government. The resources that the State has can be enormous. For example, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has a staff of 460 people and a budget of $65 million. What is your budget? I’m guessing not $65 million. Even if the agency charging you is much smaller than Hennepin County, you are still going against a prosecutor's office and police force that is staffed and funded to put people in prison. As an individual against the government, you are an underdog. 

Just because you are charged doesn't mean you're guilty. You can take your case to trial. You can challenge the State's evidence and bring forth your own evidence. Do not expect for it to be easy. But you don't need to take your charges sitting down.
