Few things are more frightening to most Minnesotans than the thought of being arrested for a crime. Depending on the severity of the charge, you could find yourself facing years in prison, high fines, the loss of licenses or rights, and more. Then there are the non-criminal penalties. Things like possibly being fired. Having to move out of your home. Being shunned by friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
The only thing that might be scarier: facing your family in court. Whether you are getting divorced, fighting for custody of your children, dealing with the horror of domestic abuse, or something else entirely, the stakes are incredibly high.
Worse, sometimes criminal and family matters can be connected, resulting in double the stress and legal frustrations at a time when you desperately need to be at your best.
Thankfully, whichever situation you might be dealing with, Christian Peterson can help.
