Family Law

• Divorce
  For obvious reasons, uncontested divorces/dissolutions are the most favorable for all parties involved, and the family law attorneys at Olson, Poole, & Envall, P.A. have helped people through uncontested divorces. When parties are able to set aside their emotions for the sake of resolving a divorce amicably and fairly, it typically means both parties are acting rationally. The positive effects of this cannot be overstated, and include less remorse and anxiety, happier children, streamlined proceedings, and lower litigation costs. However, divorcing couples frequently fail to appreciate how to accomplish their ultimate objectives. This can lead to needless strife and an overall less desirable outcome.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  After child custody is determined, a parenting time arrangement will be awarded to the noncustodial parent. The parenting time plan should permit the noncustodial parent as much contact as possible with the children absent a showing of potential harm to the children.

Criminal Law

• Traffic Violations
  Don’t eat too much turkey, or any food for that matter. Whether it’s the tryptophan in the turkey or simply eating too much food, you’re bound to get sleepy. For many, however, Thanksgiving does not conclude with a peaceful slumber, but instead a drive home that can last hours and in sometimes nasty weather conditions. These are the perfect ingredients for falling asleep behind the wheel and zipping off into a parked car, telephone pole, or worse. The next thing you know a cop is on the scene and lecturing you about careless or reckless driving.
• Misdemeanors
  Outcome: Criminal damage to property was dismissed by the Judge after we challenged probable cause. Disorderly conduct was amended to a petty misdemeanor, which is typically the same level of offense as a traffic violation.
• Assault
  Outcome: Case continued for dismissal after arguing to the prosecutor the victim was not credible and there were no other witnesses. Client did not have to plead guilty and it will be dismissed with no jail or fine if he does have a similar charge within one year.
• Probation Violation
  Outcome: Probation Officer wanted client to serve 10 days in jail for alleged probation violation. The Judge allowed Client to continue on probation without serving the 10 days.
• Restraining Order
  Outcome: Former Service Member was served with a petition for a restraining order. Client invoked his right to a judicial hearing and hired me to represent him. The Judge dismissed the restraining order because she did not have a reasonable belief my client engage in harassment.
• Prostitution
  Outcome: Dismissed by prosecutor after arguing that the client’s due process rights were violated by the police officer.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  In addition to criminal defense, Olson, Poole & Envall, P.A. represents clients in all areas of family law, worker’s compensation, serious personal injury, and social security disability. When you or your spouse first utters the “D†word, whether you’re injured, naturally you become overwhelmed with emotions. But that is not the time to do something rash and regretful, or to delude yourself into thinking you have total control over the situation. Regardless of your circumstances, you should consult an experienced divorce or personal injury attorney in Duluth immediately. It is imperative that you proceed with guidance under the competent legal advice and not on your emotions. Without proper legal guidance, you and your children might be left with a result you will live to regret.
