Defending Minnesota Clients Against Fourth-Degree DWI Charges
A DWI arrest can seem like a nightmare. If convicted, you can be sentenced to stiff fines and/or jail time. You can lose your right to drive for months, years or, in some cases, forever. Depending on your blood alcohol level, your vehicle can be confiscated – even on a first offense. A DWI can result in higher insurance rates and fewer job options. It can jeopardize your personal and professional lives.
