Everyone at Kans was always polite, professional and responsive to my many questions. Pam kept me up to date on all my hearings and drivers license status. Robert the attorney who handled my case answered all my questions even though I probably asked him at least twice maybe three times. This was my first time facing the legal system and went in thinking that a lawyer was a get out of jail free card.... and turns out it isn't. That being said I can't imagine going thru the process without a lawyer by your side. In the end Robert was able to get me a plea deal that mitigated the negative consequences that were most important to me. I hope to never have to use Kans again but if your in need of a law firm I highly recommend them.

Questions & Answers

What does Minnesota DWI law define as a motor vehicle for charging purposes?

Minnesota law generally defines a motor vehicle as being "self-propelled". So this would obviously include boats (excluding canoes), off-road recreational vehicles such as ATV's (All Terrain Vehicles) and snowmobiles, motorcycles and commercial work vehicles.

Find several with good reviews and meet with them all before making a decision. It is important to shop around, find the one that you think will give you the best shot at a reasonable turnout and is within your budget. If they all say they can't get you anything then just go with a public defender and save your money.

Why am I being charged with both a DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol) and DWI .08 or more?

In Minnesota, drivers can be charged with both driving under the influence of alcohol and driving while having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more. They are both different provisions under the Minnesota DWI statute, but the elements to prove each are different. In addition, even though a person may be charged with both, they can only be punished for one. Furthermore, driver's who are charged with a refusal to submit to chemical testing, can only be charged additionally for the driving under the influence charge and obviously not the .08 DWI, since there is no test result in those cases.

Can my DWI case be dismissed if the police officer did not read me a Miranda Warning?

Generally speaking, in DWI cases, the answer is probably not. The mere fact that the police officer did not read an individual a Miranda Warning does not automatically result in a dismissal. However, when an individual is under arrest or not free to leave AND the officer wishes to begin asking questions he or she knows are for the purpose of soliciting incriminating information (i.e. how much have you had to drink tonight), then the officer must read a driver a Miranda Warning. If the officer fails to do this, then any statements made to the officer could potentially be suppressed or not allowed to be offered by the prosecutor at trial.

Can a person in Minnesota choose what kind of DWI or DUI chemical test to perform, after they are arrested for drunk driving?

In general, it is the police officer which chooses which form of chemical testing to offer a driver. For instance, if the officer offers the driver an evidentiary breath test, he or she does not need to offer an alternative. However, in Minnesota, if an officer offers the driver a blood test, then he or she must also offer an alternative of urine and vice versa. Also, it is important to note that blood tests are generally viewed as more accurate than urine when assessing blood alcohol concentration.
