Hello. I am not sure what it is you were advised to do exactly. If you do not feel comfortable and trusting of your attorney's counsel to you, I suggest you obtain a second opinion. You may change attorneys typically, too. All the best. Tricia Dwyer Esq at 612-296-9666, Tricia Dwyer Esq & Assoc PLLC, Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney, Minnesota DWI Law, http://dwyerlawfirm.net
It is not a technicality I am afraid. There may be challenges, but it would require a full review. Nonetheless, your case may have defenses and you should seek experienced counsel to review all of the records to mount a strong defense. Remember, your license revocation is a separate issue and you must challenge the revocation within 30 days from the Notice of revocation.
