Areas of Practice : Traffic and DUI/DWI & Implied Consent

Do not make the mistake of thinking that traffic and DUI/DWI offenses are not important, serious charges! Minnesota, like many other states, has ratcheted up consequences for DUI/DWI and certain traffic offenses over the past years. Common penalties in DUI/DWI cases now include:

• Lengthy periods of time on probation
• Substantial jail time
• High fines and court costs
• Mandatory chemical dependency evaluations and treatment
• Suspension, Revocation, or Cancellation of your driver’s license, combined with hundreds to thousands of dollars in fees to get your license returned to you and lengthy, mandatory periods of time before you may do so.
• Revocation of license plates
• Forfeiture of the motor vehicle you were driving
• There is even the possibility of prison time for some individuals.
