One of the things you will need to understand if facing a Ramsey County court is that the court system requires a criminal DWI case to be completely finished before a DWI driver can contest the revocation of their driver’s license. Since Ramsey County makes drivers wait to make this challenge, the court will agree to stay the revocation until the contested revocation hearing is over. However, if you have a valid reason to continue to drive and you have an experienced Ramsey County DWI lawyer on your side, then you may be able to waive this policy. In fact, you may be able to delay the case for a number of months, all the while remaining on the road. You can then plan and prepare ahead of time for any license revocation or suspension.
What to Expect if Facing Ramsey County DWI Charges
Ramsey County likes to sentence DWI defendants to complete certain ‘pet programs’ for alcohol education and treatment. This includes the ASUDS as well as the MADD Victim Impact Panel. The ASUDS program requires offenders to attend at least ten different educational/therapy sessions. The ASUDS and MADD Victim Impact Panel programs are required for all offenders, including first time offenders. Again, with the right DWI lawyer on your side, it is possible to avoid this program and to walk away.
Most Ramsey County judges are willing to make compromises when it comes to mandatory jail time for DWI offenders. With the right judge and the right legal representation, you may be able to service some of the jail sentence under house arrest with work release.
