Minneapolis DUI Defense Lawyer

First Offense DWI

An arrest for DWI can be a frightening experience. Hiring a knowledgeable Minneapolis DWI defense attorney is one of the most important steps you can take regarding your defense. A proven lawyer can explain the DWI process and what to expect from the prosecution. You can also find out more about the laws pertaining to your case, as well as your defense alternatives.

Grostyan & Associates PLC is a respected DWI defense firm that has more than a decade of experience in DWI cases, including first time offenses. My name is Attorney Tony Grostyan and I will make sure you understand all of your legal options and how best to dispute the charges against you. I will also assist you with your DVM administrative hearing, which determines whether or not your license will be suspended.

Most first time DWI cases are charged as a misdemeanor, with penalties that can include:

• A fine of up to $1,000
• The suspension of your driver’s licenses for six months
• Up to three months in jail

The prosecution will aggressively pursue a conviction in a DWI case, even when it is a first offense. I can provide the dedicated representation you will need when fighting these charges.

Avoid License Suspension

Even if this is the first time you have been arrested for DWI, your driving privileges are at risk. A DMV administrative hearing must be scheduled immediately to protect your right to drive and prevent a suspension. Your criminal case can also result in a license suspension if you are found guilty of the charges.

I will review your arrest and look for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case that can be used for a reduction in charges or case dismissal. My firm can be relied on for a tough defense and strong representation.
