While drugs are unrelated to alcohol, they can affect a driver's ability to operate a vehicle in a safe manner in the same way as alcohol does. Whether they are illegal drugs or even prescription drugs that affect your ability to drive, you can be charged with DWI or DUI. If you have been charged for driving under the influence of drugs, it is important to consult with a Twin Cities DWI DUI lawyer to discuss your defense against these charges. Halberg Criminal Defense has helped hundreds of clients fight charges for DWI and DUI with drugs and has successfully represented them in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota areas.While alcohol can be measured in the body through a breath test, drugs cannot. As such, the Minnesota Depertment of Public Safety does not automatically suspend your driver license when charged with DUI with drugs, as it would if alcohol is involved. A conviction is required for the suspension to take place.

Our Minnesota DWI Lawyer is experienced in dealing with drunk driving charges and their complex cases

Testing for drugs takes the form of a blood or urine test. The results, along with the arresting officer's report at the scene, will be entered in as evidence when attempting to prosecute you. There are strong defenses, however, that our highly skilled firm can help develop for you. Many officers have not been properly trained on the objective signs of a person under the influence of various drugs. The blood or urine tests can be incorrectly administered, contaminated or not properly held to the chain of evidence required by law. All of these points, when carefully analyzed by our firm, can lead to challenging them as evidence against you.
