If you have been charged with or arrested for DWI or DUI, there are several questions you probably have on your mind: “Am I going to lose my job? How long will my license be suspended?

What happens if I have a DWI on my employment record?” Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys in Minneapolis provides highly skilled defense services to people throughout the Twin Cities metro area who have these questions and more.

Do not wait to get started on your DWI defense. Call Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys at (952) 522-5026 for a free initial consultation with a St. Paul DUI conviction lawyer. We offer two metro area office locations for your convenience.

Skilled Minneapolis DWI Defense Attorney

Max A. Keller has experience protecting the rights of Minneapolis clients charged with drunk driving since 1997. Our attorney handles first offenses, second offenses and subsequent offenses. A first offense can be charged as a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor. Penalties upon conviction can include jail time. A second or subsequent offense can result in a jail sentence of 30 days to seven years, depending on the violation.

Jail time can result in job loss. If you can’t get to work because you are in jail, it is unlikely your employer will hold your job for you or keep the position open for when you return.

Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys has well-developed strategies that can help you keep your job. We can explore your options, build the strongest defense on your behalf and strive to:

  • Get charges reduced
  • Get charges dismissed
  • Obtain a sentence of electronic home monitoring in lieu of jail time
  • Obtain weekend sentences rather than 30 consecutive days in jail
  • Get you back on the road faster by reinstating your driver’s license while your case is pending in Ramsey County or Hennepin County
  • Use ignition interlock to get you back on the road quickly so that you do not lose your job and so that you can take care of your family and possibly avoid mandatory minimum jail terms.

DWI on Employment Record

While you may not lose your job now, if you change jobs or lose your current job for reasons unrelated to a DWI, a criminal record could prevent you from being hired for another job in the future. Our law firm can help you understand the consequences of having a conviction on your record. A DWI cannot be expunged from your criminal record. With help from our skilled attorney, however, you can mitigate the consequences of a DWI.

The Surprising Cost of a Guilty Criminal Plea in Minnesota

Defendants in Minnesota may plead guilty or accept deals without understanding the hidden cost of a guilty criminal plea. A guilty criminal plea, regardless of how appealing it appears, can leave you dealing with substantial lifelong consequences. You may skip lengthy trial proceedings and likely get a lenient sentence, but end up with a criminal record. The record can lead to various financial and collateral consequences, including difficulty in securing employment, loss of housing rights, license revocation, and immigration issues.

Refusing Arrest vs. Resisting Arrest in Minnesota: What’s the Difference?

Highly publicized incidents of police using excessive force over the past few years have led to people wondering, “What’s the difference between refusing arrest vs. resisting arrest?” Resisting arrest in Minnesota occurs when you use force to prevent a police officer from making a lawful arrest. Refusing an arrest, on the other hand, involves statements or actions that show reluctance to cooperate with an officer’s instructions without using force.
