Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys Wins Another Serious Traffic Case in Minneapolis, Hennepin County District Court

Earlier this month, Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys won the dismissal of yet another serious traffic case on behalf of one of our clients who was wrongfully accused.  Max A. Keller’s criminal defense client was charged with Careless/Reckless Driving for allegedly throwing a pop can at another vehicle that had cut him off, in a road rage dispute.  After careful research and persuasion, Hennepin County Criminal defense attorney Max A. Keller showed the prosecutor from the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office that the driver of the car that cut off his client was equally to blame.  As a result, the charge against Keller’s client was reduced from the serious charge of Reckless driving down to an ordinance fine of littering with a $50 fine.

Max Keller has won countless jury trial cases involving misdemeanors and felonies, sex crimes, and DWI’s. He is a member of the Minnesota Society for Criminal Justice, which only allows the top 50 criminal defense attorneys in the state as members. Max is a frequent speaker at CLE’s and is often asked for advice by other defense attorneys across Minnesota.
