DUI/DWI Representation

Many people arrested for drunk driving do not think of themselves as criminal, or do not believe that the charge is all that serious. The state does. In fact, a DUI conviction can cost upwards of $10,000 for a first offense. If this is your second or third DUI offense, you could be even facing higher fines, forfeiture of your vehicle, and possible jail time. Repeat offenders facing a third or fourth offense may even be charged with a felony and could be facing prison time.

Our attorneys are committed to protecting the interests of people facing DUI charges, whether this is a first offense, or multiple DUI offense. We challenge every aspect of the state's case, from the probable cause of the initial stop to the accuracy of the Breathalyzer results. We work hard to minimize or eliminate the penalties our clients face.

In addition to minimizing criminal penalties, we also work hard to obtain return of your driver's license through the applied consent petition process. We understand that you depend on your car for work, travel and general daily errands. We help reinstate your driving privileges.

Our attorneys are committed to providing the southern Minnesota communities we serve with strong and effective criminal defense representation.
