Felony Defense

Felony charges have heavy consequences. These consequences include long prison terms, high fines, and collateral consequences that last a lifetime. The minimum prison sentence is more than one year, which means the stakes are high and require the representation of a Minneapolis felony defense lawyer.

Steven J. Wright is experienced and well-versed in criminal law. He uses his skill and knowledge to fight for the best outcome in a case because he knows that your livelihood and future are at risk. Mr. Wright also understands that your family is heavily affected as well, so he fights hard for the best outcome.

Skilled Criminal Defense

Steven Wright handles the factual, legal, and evidentiary matters that come about during a felony case. It doesn’t matter the type of violation, which can include any of the following and more:

• Sexual assault
• Weapons charges
• Murder
• Theft/burglary/robbery
• Federal offenses
• Vehicular homicide
• Felony DWI

Felonies are serious and that’s why they require a serious Minneapolis felony defense attorney. Mr. Wright will advise you and guide you while providing you with the comprehensive defense and understanding that you need to effectively navigate the legal system.

Utilizing The Best Defense Strategies

To ensure the case is navigated effectively, Mr. Wright will use the facts, law, and resources to develop a strategic defense. Sometimes this involves negotiating with the prosecution for a lesser sentence. Other times, it involves proving that the prosecution’s evidence is weak, which can lead to case dismissal. Sometimes, cases must go to trial. In that case, Mr. Wright is very aggressive in a state or federal courtroom. His goal is to ensure you have the best possible quality of life. This can only be achieved by securing a fair result.

Even if you believe that there is no chance that you will avoid penalties, it is still important to have the proper criminal defense. Lack of past criminal record and details in the case could significantly reduce those penalties. When penalties are reduced, quality of life is better than it would be otherwise.
