4. Bolinske & Bolinske: In Minnesota it is not against the law to drink and it is not against the law to drive. It is against the law to drive, operate or be in physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated with alcohol or drugs. In Minnesota a person is statutorily presumed intoxicated if a reading of .08 is established during a chemical test. Although the rule against driving while intoxicated (DWI, also called DUI) seems hard and fast, the facts that lead to the traffic-stop, arrest, and chemical test are not so clear-cut. Ê Many drivers in Minnesota facing a charge of DUI do not realize the importance of hiring a knowledgeable trial ready Minnesota DWI lawyer to represent them in court. Only an experienced DWI lawyer will be able to analyze the facts and the law to determine whether the stop, arrest and the tests are lawful. Ê In many cases pretrial hearings determine whether evidence obtained by the police will be admitted at trial. Pleading guilty or representing yourself almost guarantees that such evidence will be used against you regardless of whether it would otherwise be admitted. In court if a person fails to object to evidence the evidence will generally be admitted. Ê The end result of being found guilty of a DWI in Minnesota is loss of license, higher insurance, a criminal record, court costs (fines) and potential forfeiture of a vehicle. Individuals facing the charge of DWI should at the very least consult a Minnesota DUI lawyer, who can explain what defenses may be applicable and what the personÕs options are.
5. Goldfarb & Associates: ...provides assistance for misdemeanor or felony/aggravated DUI or drunk driving offenses. This includes operating a boat, ATV/4-wheeler, and snowmobile while under the influence. When a person is arrested for DUI he/she may be in danger of losing their driver's license or even forfeiture of their vehicle. Once you have been detained on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), you will be given the opportunity to take a breath, urine or blood test to help law enforcement determine your blood alcohol content (BAC). Chances are you already made this decision on your own when you were stopped, without the benefit of attorney advice. Minnesota's implied consent law assumes that a person who drives, operates or is in control of any type of motor vehicle within the state's borders has consented to a chemical test of breath, blood or urine for the purposes of determining the presence of alcohol or controlled or hazardous substances in the person's body. The law enforcement officer who stopped you most likely read you the implied consent advisory statement. He or she probably told you that testing was mandatory, and that refusal to take the test was a crime when there was probable cause to believe that you were driving drunk. He or she may or may not have told you that you had the right to consult with a lawyer before taking the test.
6. Barry Hogen: If you were pulled over by the police and charged under Minnesota's DWI law, you need immediate legal help from an attorney who understands Minnesota DWI defense. Whether it is your first offense or your tenth offense, the consequences of a DWI conviction can range from driver's license suspension to jail and prison. You can defend yourself from these charges. Whether you were driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol, a strong defense can help limit the damage to your reputation, could prevent suspension or revocation of your driver's license, and may keep you out of jail.
7. William Kueffner: The defense attorney's starting point is to gather as much information about the facts of a case as possible. This starts with obtaining copies of all police reports and other documents generated by law enforcement relative to the case. In some cases the police have made audio or video tapes of parts of the arrest, testing or booking procedure. These are also "discoverable" by the defense, meaning that the defense attorney has the right to obtain copies of such tapes. And of course, the attorney will want to discuss the facts of the case with the client in great detail. There are often areas where the client's description of what happened differs from the account contained in the police reports. It is essential for the attorney to identify the areas where the client agrees with the police reports and those areas where the client disagrees with the content of the reports. The attorney also must go through all the police reports and related documents carefully to look for areas where the documents might show that the police failed to follow all the correct procedures.
