The police, prosecutors and Commissioner of Public Safety will do everything in their power to enforce DUI/DWI penalties in Minnesota. The Minneapolis DWI Lawyers at Meaney & Patrin are committed to providing you with effective DWI, DUI and test refusal defense.
Our firm has devoted our practice to ensuring that you will have the comprehensive, solid defense needed when you or a family member is facing one of these serious charges.
The reality is that being charged with driving while intoxicated is something that literally can happen to a large segment of the population. You should not have to feel embarrassed or confused about the legal process ahead. Now is the time to be proactive. The attorneys at Meaney & Patrin are dedicated to ensuring that your rights are protected by providing powerful representation for people facing a DWI or related charge.
Many people ask themselves, “do I need an attorney?” There are risks and costs involved in all stages of the criminal process. Hiring a good lawyer can save you thousands of dollars later, or prevent a similar incident from having a catastrophic effect on your life. Effective DWI representation can mean the difference between a standard plea agreement and significantly reduced charges or dismissal.
The consequences of being charged with DWI should not be minimized. The stark reality is that in Minnesota there is what can best be described as a zero tolerance for an individual who is charged with driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence. Penalties associated with these crimes are extremely significant. You need to understand that you can face jail time, significant fines and a long term loss of your driver’s license.
Derek Patrin recently won a stunning and substantial appeal with the Minnesota Supreme Court on behalf of his client. The decision advances the rights of many individuals across the state charged with DWI or DUI. While it has become an overused cliché, the truth of the matter is that when it comes to the knowledge possessed by the lawyers in our firm, we make it a practice to think outside the box in the representation of our clients.
