Take a look at the caption of your summons or complaint. It reads, “State of Minnesota v. [insert your name here].” As you see, the American criminal justice system is adversarial in nature—the government versus you. This is inherently unfair. The government possesses and uses a variety of resources in furtherance of proving you guilty of a crime. These resources include prosecutors, investigators, peace officers, and taxpayer money. This is unfair, as you don’t have access to the same resources. I want to help level the playing field by fighting aggressively and ethically to preserve your rights. When the government charges you with a crime, it accuses you of breaking a law. My job is twofold: 1) to ensure the government follows its own laws when it tries to meet its burden to prove you guilty; and 2) to assert every possible defense afforded to you by law. The system works best when the defense attorney works zealously to ensure the courts and prosecutors play by the rules.. As a criminal defense attorney, I defend my clients zealously and effectively. I use my understanding of the legal landscape to assert my clients’ constitutional rights both inside and outside the courtroom. My experience with the criminal justice system began with the 10th Judicial District Public Defender’s Office where I represented over 1,000 clients. I continued my career as a criminal defense attorney by working privately at a mid-sized firm in Anoka. I formed Repka Law, LLC in Saint Paul with the vision of using my legal knowledge, skills, and experience without the overhead costs of mid- to large-sized firms. This means you get big firm results for solo practitioner prices. Don’t take a chance with your defense. Hire the right defense attorney who understands the system and isn’t afraid to fight for your rights.
