The Legal Rights Center does not represent clients in U.S. courts (federal), or in Minnesota courts outside of Hennepin County.

The Legal Rights Center only handles criminal cases with charges of misdemeanor or higher, which means we do not handle traffic tickets in which the maximum sentence is a fine.

For help with appeals, expungements, plea withdrawals, parole violations, jail conditions, or any other matter that followed from a prior criminal court case, please see the Free Post-Conviction Help page.
