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.

Depending on the offense and your circumstances, a conviction may affect firearm possession, employment, professional licensing, housing, immigration status, and other opportunities. Some consequences end or change after your sentence, while others can continue much longer.
