Jonathan Matthew Holson
I grew up throughout the Southeastern United States. I attended college at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina and I graduated with a B.A. in political science and philosophy. I moved to Minnesota in 1999 to attend the University of Minnesota law school and I decided stay after I graduated. Following graduation, I clerked for a Hennepin County Judge and then took a job with the Stearns County Public Defender's Office. I have been in private practice since 2016.
My practice involves representing people charged with crimes as well as individuals dealing with issues surrounding Orders for Protection and Harassment Restraining Orders - both petitioners and respondents. I am here to help with the collateral consequences as well including, but not limited to, driver's license revocations, motor vehicle forfeiture, employment concerns and more. Please contact me and I am available for a free consultation regarding whatever legal issues you might be facing.

- Q. Regarding execution of search warrant of House: Searches & Seizures, State of Minnesota
- A: This is going to be a very fact specific analysis that depends on a number of factors such as the language of the search warrant, the items that are being looked for, the relationship of the subject to the home owners, etc. This is way more than can be addressed through a Q & A forum online. You need to get an attorney on board who can review all of the evidence and provide legal advice about the legality of the search that occurred here.
- Q. Can a prosecuter withhold telling their witness is out on bond for felony drug charges

- Q. Iv made a mistake that can cause me 5years in jail how can I prove to the judge and prosecutor I’m a good person
- A: First get an attorney. Don’t represent yourself. Your attorney can help to minimize any consequences that you might be facing here.
