A Hennepin County young man can go forward with his life, thanks to attorney Max A. Keller. The gentleman plead guilty to indecent exposure due to fondling himself when he did not know others were watching. Mr. Keller arranged for his client to enter a plea to a gross-misdemeanor offense rather than a felony. This allowed his client to be sentenced to only one day of jail. Thus, the client avoided Prison. Attorney Keller’s client was then able to continue drug/alcohol treatment, and to have no felony on his record. A felony conviction would have possibly prevented employment, housing, and schooling. In addition, Mr. Keller’s felony sex crimes client did NOT have to register as a sex-offender. As a result, the client and his girlfriend were very pleased.
