The criminal and collateral consequences of an interference with privacy conviction can be severe. You could be sentenced to jail time, labor-intensive community service, fines, and sex offender treatment. Also, because interference with privacy is viewed by many as a sex crime, a conviction could cause you great difficulty in finding employment and housing.
If you are facing an interference with privacy charge it is essential that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney with a proven track record in handling criminal cases. Jeff Dean has that record, and he is known throughout Minnesota as one of the most successful and respected attorneys in this area of the law. He has won precedent setting cases, had laws struck down as unconstitutional, and has repeatedly won dismissals of Interference with Privacy charges.
Jeff was widely recognized for winning an Interference with Privacy case in the Minneapolis airport sex sting that snared United States Senator Larry Craig and dozens of others. Jeff’s client was charged with Interference with Privacy and Disorderly Conduct after an undercover police officer said that the client surreptitiously looked into his bathroom stall. All of the other people caught in the sting – including Senator Larry Craig – were convicted. Jeff Dean was the only attorney to take the case to trial and he won NOT GUILTY verdicts for his client on both counts.
