Minnesota DWI? Fight to Save your MN Driver's License From Suspension!

FREE MINNESOTA DWI CASE EVALUATION

If you drive after losing your license, you may have to pay a high bond or bail to get out of jail. Under Minnesota state law, you also will face another criminal charge up to and including a gross misdemeanor (up to a year in jail and up to a $3,000 fine).

What can I do to save my license?

1. First and foremost, hire an attorney experienced with Minnesota Drivers License and DWI laws. There are many factors to consider.



2. Request a hearing and demand the officers' presence. It will give you a preview of a trial, a rarity in criminal cases. All officers involved in the case must show up and justify their actions which resulted in the revocation of your license.



3. Retest the sample, if possible. Testing errors may save your license.



4. Investigate the adequacy of the stop. The officer must have had a reasonable suspicion that a crime or traffic infraction was being committed.



5. Investigate the adequacy of the arrest and request for a test. In most cases the officer must have developed probable cause to believe that you were impaired by alcohol.



6. Check the times of events. Officers must perform the tests within certain guidelines.



7. Check the labeling of the sample. It must be identified as being yours.



8. Demand an Implied Consent license reinstatement hearing in front of a judge. Fabrications and other errors are often first noticed at these hearings.
