Introduction…
If you have been accused of a crime, you may face serious penalties, including license suspension, probation, mandatory community service, substantial fines, work squad or imprisonment. The severity of your penalty depends on such issues as whether the crime you are accused of is a misdemeanor or felony, whether you are a repeat or first-time offender, and whether there are other mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
Depending on what is in your best interest given the circumstances of your case, we can negotiate a plea bargain to reduce the charges against you, or aggressively advocate on your behalf in trial. In addition, in certain cases, we may be able to assist you in obtaining an expungement of your criminal record, meaning we may be able to have your record sealed, destroyed, or returned to you.

FAQ
Q. If I have been stopped and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, do I have to take a breath (urine, blood) test?
A. Yes and no. Because driver’s licenses are considered a “privilege” and not a “right,” states are generally free to create legal requirements for obtaining and retaining a driver’s license. Minnesota, as well as most states, have laws which result in termination of a driver’s license for varying periods of time for refusal to take a test designed to determine whether the driver has illegal levels of alcohol or non-prescription drugs in him/her. In Minnesota, the license loss period is one year for refusal to take such a test so the decision to take or not to take such a test is a grave decision. Most attorneys advise taking the test, however, in light of the serious consequences for refusal and in light of various defenses which may exist to a test result which appears to violate the law.
