DWI

If you have been accused or arrested for a DWI/DUI, then this means you have been caught drinking and driving. In the state of Minnesota, anyone caught operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content level of .08 or higher can be arrested for DWI or DUI. DWI (driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol) and DWI (drinking while intoxicated) are synonymous across Minnesota and both come with serious consequences if convicted. Your best defense against any DWI claim is an experienced Minnesota DWI lawyer in your corner.

Have you been arrested for a DWI? Defend your rights by contacting a Minneapolis DWI lawyer right away…

A standard DWI arrest, where your blood alcohol content level is over .08 is considered a fourth degree DWI offense. However, if any of the following aggravating factors are present, then you could be looking at a more serious DWI conviction:

  • The number of prior convictions within the last 10 years
  • The number of prior driver’s license alcohol revocations within the last 10 years
  • .20 or more alcohol concentration
  • Having a child younger than 16 years of age in the car at the time of the DWI
  • Refusing to submit to a Fields Sobriety Testing system including a blood, urine or breathalyzer test.

What is at stake? Facing DWI Charges….

Although most DWI convictions are considered gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor offenses, you could also be facing a felony DWI in certain instances. However, regardless of the circumstances surrounding your arrest, Judith Samson can help. Our firm represents clients facing the following legal concerns:

  • Test refusal

A lot is at stake if you are convicted of a DWI offense. The Minnesota DWI laws are confusing to say the least. Your conviction will depend on what county you were arrested in, whether or not your case will go to court and who is representing you. You may lose your license and face prison time. You could be looking at hefty fines, driver’s education courses and mandatory community service. You could also be looking at a permanent black mark on your driving record and criminal record.
