DWI In Winona? I Can Help You Fight It.

A traffic stop for drunk driving and being charged with DUI/DWI is an overwhelming ordeal. People are often scared and unsure of what to do next. I have represented many people in Minnesota DUI/DWI cases, and I know how to protect your rights, whether you are an adult, a college student or under 21. 

At Van Beek Law, LLC, in Winona, you can rely on my experience in criminal defense cases. For nearly 15 years, I have been defending people against drunk driving charges. Whether it is your first DUI/DWI or a subsequent offense, I will fight hard for your driver’s license and your driving record. As an aggressive Winona DWI lawyer, I thoroughly investigate each case and determine a defense strategy to protect my client’s rights.

Minnesota DUI/DWI Penalties Are Harsh

People are often surprised to learn how stiff the penalties and fines are in Minnesota DUI/DWI cases. For a fourth-degree misdemeanor first offense, you may face:

  • A fine of up to $1,000
  • A jail sentence of up to 90 days
  • A license suspension of 90 days

In addition, there will be heavy fines and fees you are required to pay to get your license back. You will also have to pay higher insurance rates after a DWI conviction.

I can also represent you in the administrative driver’s license hearing and argue for the reinstatement of your driving privileges with a hardship (limited) license. You must request this hearing within 60 days of the arrest.

Aggravating Factors Can Enhance Penalties

If you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .16% or higher, or if it is a subsequent offense, there will be additional penalties. This can include the installation of an ignition interlock device, longer jail or prison sentences, and higher fines. Your license revocation or suspension may be longer as well.
