Legal Question in DUI Law in Minnesota

The old priors cannot be used to enhance the severity of the current charge. However, even though you will be charged as a first-time offender, the priors can be considered as the prosecutor and the judge determine an appropriate sentence within the first-time offender range. Many prosecutors and judges look for serious consequences for a fourth offense like this, even though the prior offenses are so old. I would recommend getting a lawyer involved right away. Feel free to give me a call or an email to talk about options.

Also, it is thought that persons with prior DWI-DUI's would have the sense not to mix alcohol and driving: At All.
