Felony trial

This has got to be the worst public defender in Minnesota He does work on yr case until it's too late like hours before trial

I won this case. That is the irony. All charges dismissed.

Posted by anonymous | March 07, 2014 | Domestic Violence

Mr. Yost is here for the people

As a victim of a severe domestic violence attack I was represented by Mr. Yost. I'd never heard of him before this. However, he handled my case with the utmost care and concern to me, his client. I am forever grateful for his consistancy to always be available with any questions/concerns I had. ... He was always understanding and considerate. Even more impressive, the way he was able to handle my case during trial. With my attacker present-& Mr. Yost knowing my fear, his knowledge and determination was my strength during the hardest time I could ever imagine. Thank you Mr. Yost!
