Minimize Consequences And The Impact On Your Reputation Most criminal convictions carry some sort of “collateral consequences” or “civil sanctions” and can be devastating to a person’s ability to move on with their lives after they have been convicted of a crime. For families going through difficult transitions like divorce, child custody or spousal maintenance, the physical and emotional effects of separating assets and connections can have lasting effects. Heather is committed to ensuring her clients move on with their lives without significant scarring from what is often a mistake or poor decision. There may be ways to negotiate your case to avoid additional negative repercussions. Chart a Path Through Your Difficulties. Contact us for a free, confidential consultation today: 763-682–4009.
