A Former Prosecutor Fighting Your Multiple DUI Offense
Minnesota and Wisconsin take severe action against repeat DUI/OUI offenders. If you have been charged with your second or third DUI, you are facing serious criminal charges. Fourth and fifth DUI charges are felonies. If convicted you face mandatory jail sentences and thousands of dollars in fines.
In addition to the legal punishments, repeated DUI convictions bring collateral consequences, including:
- Driver's license revocation
- Mandatory alcohol treatment
- Interlock ignition devices (IID)
- House arrest
- Probation
- Whiskey plates
- Car impoundment
- High insurance premiums
DUI convictions leave permanent marks on your criminal record. A criminal record may make it hard to find a job, prevent you from getting federal educational loans and can put professional licenses — such as medical licenses — in jeopardy.
At the Thole Law Firm, our attorneys fight our clients' DUI charges. We question the circumstances surrounding your arrest. Were you illegally pulled over? Were you given your Miranda rights? Were you given the option to refuse field sobriety tests? Was the breath test properly calibrated and administered? If there is any doubt as to the validity of the breath test or the manner in which you were stopped and arrested, we will fight to have your charges dropped.
As a pretrial technique, we often recommend clients enroll in alcohol treatment programs. These proactive steps not only show the judge you are taking voluntary steps to overcome your lifestyle issues, they also give us an edge during our negotiations with the prosecution.
