Minneapolis Multiple DWI Attorney
Providing Aggressive Legal Services for Clients in the Twin Cities Area
If you are arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and this is your second, third, or fourth offense, you face serious penalties upon conviction. First-time offenders already face criminal and administrative penalties such as prison time, fines, probation, and license suspension, but Minnesota is especially tough on repeat offenders.
If you are facing multiple DWI charges, contact our Minneapolis multiple DWI lawyer at (612) 979-1112 or fill out our online form today. We are prepared to help reduce your charges or get the case dismissed.
Consequences of Multiple DWI Charges
If you find yourself facing multiple DWI charges, the consequences can be severe. Each subsequent DWI offense is treated with increased scrutiny by the courts. For example, a second DWI conviction can result in a longer license suspension, higher fines, mandatory alcohol assessment and treatment, and potential jail time. The third or subsequent offenses may lead to felony charges, which carry even harsher penalties, including longer prison sentences and permanent loss of driving privileges.
Beyond the legal ramifications, multiple DWI charges can have a profound impact on your personal life. Employment opportunities may diminish, relationships can suffer, and your reputation may be damaged. That's why having a dedicated and experienced DWI defense attorney on your side is essential.
Defending Against DWI Charges
Defending against multiple DWI charges requires a multifaceted approach. Here are some common defense strategies we may employ:
Challenging the Stop: If law enforcement did not have probable cause to stop your vehicle, any evidence obtained during the stop could be deemed inadmissible in court. We investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest to determine if any violations occurred.
Questioning Breathalyzer Accuracy: Breathalyzer devices must be properly calibrated and maintained to ensure accurate results. If there are issues with the device used in your case, we can challenge the reliability of the BAC readings.
Field Sobriety Test Failures: Field sobriety tests are subjective and can be influenced by a variety of factors unrelated to intoxication, such as medical conditions or nervousness. We examine the circumstances of your field sobriety tests to determine if they were administered fairly.
Seeking Treatment Alternatives: In some cases, we may recommend seeking treatment for alcohol or substance use issues as part of a defense strategy. This not only demonstrates to the court your commitment to addressing any underlying issues but may also lead to more lenient sentencing options.
