Is it important to hire a lawyer in a DUI – DWI case?
Yes, in my view it is worth fighting back after an arrest on suspicion of DUI – DWI in Minnesota. Why? For the person with no similar priors, they are looking at extremely high insurance costs for the five years after a DWI arrest. The cost of hiring a good DWI defense lawyer is only a fraction of that cost. In order to avoid the high-risk high premium auto insurance costs, all alcohol-related events must be removed or kept off the “driving record” kept by the Minnesota “Department of Public Safety.” That means (1) making a legal challenge to the “implied consent” administrative license revocation; and (2) defending the criminal-DWI charge so that no alcohol-related conviction results — both. You only have 30 days from the date of the license revocation — in breath test cases normally the date of the arrest — within which to serve and file a challenge to the implied consent license revocation. You’ll need a lawyer’s help with that. If you do it on the 31st day, it won’t do any good.
