We are very interested in continuing as the Lino Lakes City Prosecutor. We <br />were previously appointed to a five-year term for fiscal years 2016-2020. We are interested in <br />another five-year agreement for fiscal years 2021-2025. <br />Robb Olson heads up our prosecution team, and has 25 years of experience in this area. Fellow <br />GDO Partner Heather Monnens and associate attorney Luke McClure assist with municipal <br />prosecution for Lino Lakes. Our office prosecutes all petty misdemeanor, misdemeanor and gross <br />misdemeanor offenses occurring in Lino Lakes, including DWI and domestic assault cases. The <br />balance of the remaining cases consists of assaults or disorderly conduct charges, thefts, code <br />violations, and traffic -related offenses. <br />We work in close conjunction with the Lino Lakes Police Department reviewing reports for <br />charging and providing general advice about cases. Our office also provides ongoing training for <br />police officers in connection with training conducted at the Police Department. We have regular <br />contact with LLPD personnel to ensure that we are providing quality representation to the Lino <br />Lakes Police Department. <br />We appear in Anoka County District Court for all arraignments (first appearance), pretrials, court <br />trials (contested traffic tickets), and contested evidentiary hearings, along with other miscellaneous <br />appearances for probation violations, setting of bail, etc. Once a month we have a four -day jury <br />trial calendar for unresolved cases. We also handle in -custody arraignment calendars for <br />defendants that were arrested and are in custody for domestic assault, gross misdemeanor DWIs, <br />and other offenses. We process all legal paperwork and attend hearings regarding forfeiture of <br />motor vehicles by repeat DWI offenders. <br />MAIN OFFICE & MAILING ADDRESS: 4770 WHITE BEAR PARKWAY • WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN 55110 <br />PLYMOUTH LOCATION: 3020 HARBOR LANE NORTH, #103, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 <br />TELEPHONE: 651-426-3249 • FACSIMILE: 651-426-9501 <br />WWW.GDOLAW.COM <br />
