Time Is Of The Essence In Fighting DWI Charges
The shock and embarrassment of being charged with drunk driving can be overwhelming and paralyzing. You may be tempted to wait and see if the problem goes away rather than face it head-on. But doing nothing in this situation is one of the biggest mistakes people make.
Acting fast is critical to defend your rights and mitigate the consequences of DWI. In Minnesota, you have only 30 days to challenge losing your driving privileges. Once your license is revoked, the process of reinstating a driver’s license after a DWI conviction is long and arduous. There are no guarantees for timely reinstatement.
You need to have an attorney review your case right away. Waiting can cost you in not having a strong defense ready to present in combating the charges. A DWI defense attorney can help you choose the best way to proceed with your case and work toward a positive outcome.
