DWI

The charge of Driving under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (also know as Driving While Intoxicated or Operating under the Influence) means that you operated or attempted to operate a vehicle when you were incapable of safely doing so. It is a serious offense that can result in jail time, fines, and the loss of driving privileges. DWI convictions can have a long-term impact on a person’s life such as vehicle forfeiture, loss of driving privileges and increased insurance costs. It is important to seek the skills of an experienced criminal defense attorney when you are charged with a DWI in Minnesota.
