He has worked on hundreds of different criminal cases, ranging from bail hearings to jury trials.. He achieved his first Not Guilty verdict while still in law school. Afterwards, a supervising attorney told him, “Cherish those words, because you probably will not be hearing them again anytime soon.” Less than a year later, he heard them again after an assault jury trial in Wright County. He also heard them in his first month at Ramsay Law Firm, PPLC, when Jud second-chaired a felony jury trial that resulted in a Not Guilty verdict.. Jud has successfully had several cases dismissed by challenging illegal stops, searches, seizures, and arrests. He understands that criminal defense is about protecting the constitutional rights afforded to every person, and he is committed to upholding those rights..
