Repka Law, LLC

In early 2022 my 21-year-old son was arrested and charged with 7 felonies and his bail was set at a million dollars. His Public defender encouraged him to take a 1st degree sales charge right away. I called around a handful of criminal defense attorneys that quoted me outrageous fees to retain their services and the tone in their voices seemed so grim. Everything changed when I contacted Repka Law. Dan called me back the same day. He was so upbeat, positive, and ready to take on the task of getting the best possible outcome for my son. It was 3 days before my son’s next hearing and Dan said immediately he wanted to be there to let it be known that my son would not be rolling over to a plea deal - and that he would fight for my son as if he were his own. Needless to say, he got the job! My son’s case took over a year in District Court–in that time Dan filed several motions to try and have his bail reduced and to ask for opportunities for him to go to treatment (he had everything lined up and ready if they agreed). Each motion was denied, and we all were getting frustrated and feeling defeated, but Dan never gave up the good fight or lost hope. Dan and I were in regular communication, and he called me before and after every hearing; to say I texted him a lot over the past few years would be an understatement :) He was always super responsive and supportive. He also had regular legal calls with my son throughout the entire process. After Dan had looked over the evidence, or lack thereof, he concluded in his opinion that the search warrant lacked probable cause and the entire case should be dismissed. The district court disagreed. My son ended up not accepting any plea, was found guilty at a court trial on 1 charge of 2nd Degree Possession and sentenced to 48 months in prison. Dan subsequently filed an appeal and argued my son’s case at the MN Court of Appeals like a RoCkStAr!! We lost a lot of battles along the way in District Court, but Dan ultimately won the war – and with a Precedential Published opinion at that! Justice prevailed! My son’s entire conviction was reversed/vacated and he was able to walk out of Prison after 27 months of incarceration- free from any type of supervision or parole and is now starting the process of getting his civil rights restored and the immediate expungement from his record. My family will forever be grateful for Dan – I cannot thank him enough for never giving up and for seeing this to the end. I consider him a dear friend and trusted confidant. I honestly could not have made it through all of this without his kindness, support, wisdom, patience, empathy, and great sense of humor. Dan knows the law; he has the endurance to keep fighting fearlessly for your rights and is not intimidated to face any legal battle. If you find yourself in a fight against any criminal charge Dan is who you want and need by your side! His staff Mary and Andrea were also very respectful and supportive throughout this entire ordeal and deserve a shoutout as well! Thank you all for everything!
