Defense in Morrison County District Court
Protecting Your Rights at Every Step
How We Defend Little Falls-Area Clients
Whether you were just arrested or are facing an upcoming court date, our attorneys will explain the charges, walk you through the process, and build the strongest defense the facts allow.
DWI Defense
A DWI arrest usually starts two separate proceedings: the criminal case and an action against your driver’s license, each with its own deadlines. Our attorneys explain how Minnesota DWI law applies to your case, challenge the stop, testing, and evidence where appropriate, and represent you in Morrison County District Court.
Domestic Assault & Domestic Violence Charges
A domestic violence charge can bring no-contact orders, firearm restrictions, and long-term consequences for your family and your record. We help Morrison County clients understand the consequences of a domestic violence charge and defend against the allegations at every stage.
Theft, Burglary & Fraud
Property crime allegations are serious and can carry jail time, fines, and a criminal record that follows you. We defend clients charged with theft, burglary, and fraud offenses, working to reduce or dismiss charges wherever the evidence and the law allow.
Criminal Sexual Conduct & Serious Felonies
Allegations of criminal sexual conduct and other serious felonies carry life-altering consequences. Our attorneys take these cases with the care they demand, protecting your constitutional rights and holding the state to its burden of proof.
Cannabis-Related Charges
Minnesota’s cannabis laws have changed, and it can be hard to know what is and isn’t allowed. We help clients understand how Minnesota’s new cannabis laws apply to their situation and defend against cannabis-related charges in Morrison County.
Harassment Restraining Orders
Whether you are seeking protection or have been served with a petition, harassment restraining orders can have real consequences for your daily life. We represent Morrison County clients on either side of these cases, including at the hearing in Little Falls.

Little Falls Criminal Defense: Frequently Asked Questions
Should I talk to the police before I speak with an attorney?
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is generally wise to speak with an attorney before answering questions about a criminal allegation, because what you say can be used against you.
What should I do after a DWI arrest in Little Falls?
A DWI arrest typically starts a criminal case and a separate action involving your driver’s license, and both have deadlines. Contact an attorney as soon as possible so your options are protected.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and felony?
In Minnesota these are levels of offense based on potential punishment. A misdemeanor carries up to 90 days in jail, a gross misdemeanor up to one year, and a felony can carry a sentence of more than one year. The specific charge and your history determine what you are facing.
Do I have to travel to St. Cloud to meet with a defense attorney?
No. We meet with Morrison County clients by phone or secure video conference, so you can get started from home. When your case requires a hearing or trial, we appear in person at the Morrison County Government Center in Little Falls.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Your initial consultation with Jeddeloh Snyder Stommes is free, and we can meet by phone or secure video conference so you don’t have to travel to our St. Cloud office.
