DWI / DUI Defense

Minneapolis DWI Attorney

DWI (driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs) is an offense taken seriously in Minnesota, resulting in aggressive prosecution that needs to be met with an equally aggressive defense. A DWI charge can carry consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom, including license revocation, steep fines, mandatory chemical dependency assessments, and even jail time. If you have been arrested for DWI in the Twin Cities, it is critical to have a Minneapolis DWI attorney in your corner from the very start.

Charles Segal has extensive experience defending clients against DWI and DUI charges throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities communities. He understands how the state builds its case, from the initial traffic stop through field sobriety tests and chemical testing, and knows where to look for weaknesses that can lead to reduced charges or a dismissal.

Understanding DWI Penalties

Minnesota classifies DWI offenses by degree, with penalties that increase based on prior offenses, blood alcohol concentration, and aggravating factors such as having a child in the vehicle or refusing a chemical test. A DWI can be charged anywhere from a misdemeanor to a felony, and even a first offense can lead to license plate impoundment, ignition interlock requirements, and a permanent mark on your criminal record.

Because so much is at stake, it is important not to navigate the process alone. Charles Segal will examine every detail of your arrest, including whether the stop was lawful and whether testing procedures were properly followed, to build the strongest possible defense on your behalf.

A Defense Built Around You

Every DWI case is different, and Charles Segal takes the time to understand the specific circumstances surrounding your arrest. Whether that means challenging the accuracy of a breath test, questioning the legality of the traffic stop, or negotiating for reduced charges, he will fight to protect your license, your record, and your future.
