Halberg Defense

DWI Accident Lawyer

Providing Attorney Representation in Minnesota since 2005

homepractice areasDWI Accident Lawyer

Accidents Increase the DWI/DUI/Impaired Driving Stakes in Minnesota. When a motor vehicle accident preceded a driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) conviction, the consequences for the offending motorist can be dire Halberg Criminal Defense has a combined more than 100 years working extensively with motorists in the Twin Cities area who have been arrested for DUI or DWI and causing motor vehicle accidents. To date, Halberg Criminal Defense has successfully defended hundreds of motorists accused of drunk or drugged driving in Twin Cities communities, including Minneapolis, Bloomington, Saint Paul, Anoka, Golden Valley, Saint Louis Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove and Edina. In doing so, we have saved them money, embarrassment and jail time.

Our Minnesota DWI Attorney understands the complexity of a drunk driving charge

Experience has taught us that not everything the police, prosecutors and insurance-company lawyers say about motorists accused of DUI or DWI is accurate. Eyewitnesses may disagree on the circumstances of a collision. Law enforcement officers may improperly administer field sobriety tests or implement faulty breath and/or blood substance tests. If you were arrested for causing an accident because you were allegedly intoxicated and behind the wheel, the best thing you can do is to call an excellent DWI/DUI lawyer today.

Motorists facing a DUI or DWI accident charge may expect a court to be lenient. This is not usually the case. A convicted motorist can easily have his or her driver's license suspended, face incarceration, and be required to pay more than $20,000 in related fines and bills. Being involved in car accident or truck accident while drunk or high are among the aggravating factors courts use in determining sentences. Penalties are increased by the number of these factors. If a person suffers an accident injury or dies as the result of a DWI/DUI motorist's actions, the charges become more serious. Penalties can easily reach the felony level.

A Minnesota DWI Lawyer is important to your defense and should be contacted immediately

If the motorist is a repeat offender, Minnesota’s harsh laws can translate into a loss of rights and property, lengthy imprisonment and other negative consequences. Don't be that motorist. Instead, call an experienced, knowledgeable Twin Cities drunk driving accident attorney who can find the holes in the prosecution's story and inconsistencies in police evidence.You should always fight a DWI/DUI charge strenuously with a committed DWI or DUI accident defense.
