Schafer Law Firm, P.A.

Minneapolis and St. Paul Jail and Detox Release Lawyer

Often a fun night out on the town can result in an extended stay at a local detox facility, even when you have done nothing wrong.  A police officer who thinks you may have had too much to drink can take you into custody and drop you off at a detox facility without even charging you with a criminal offense.  These facilities can hold you up to 72 hours before releasing you. You are not powerless in situations like these.  Brent S. Schafer can help.  He has filed dozens of Writs of Habeas Corpus to get people immediately released from detox facilities.  These writs can be hand delivered to judges at anytime during the week or weekend.

Likewise, police often make the majority of theor arrests during the course of a weekend when court is not in session.  If a person is arrested on a Fridy night, criminal charges do not have to be filed until the next Tuesday at noon.  Being held in a jail cell this long can be traumatizing and cause loss of employment.  Most counties have judges available to contact regarding the release or the setting of bail for people caught in this situation.

If you have a friend or a loved one who is being held in a detox facility or a jail and wants out, call Brent Schafer now!!  He can draft the required paperwork and immediately begin the process to get your friend or loved one out.

Available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.  Schafer Law Firm accepts VISA, Mastercard, Discovery and AMEX.
