Minnesota DWI Attorney Hire A DWI / DUI MN Attorney From Halberg Criminal Defense And Get The Representation You Deserve


When hiring a Minnesota DWI attorney, it is important to hire someone with a great deal of experience in defending DWI cases. When you hire the law firm of Halberg Criminal Defense, you can take comfort in knowing that you have over 100 years of combined legal experience on your side.

In Minnesota, you will find yourself facing a DWI charge if an officer believes you to have been driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher.

In addition, although many people do not know it, you can face such a charge even if you test under the .08 level. This is because a police officer can determine your impairment in any of three ways. These include…

  • Observation – Seeing you speeding, swerving, failing to stop, driving too slowly, or even sleeping in a parked motor vehicle
  • Sobriety Test –Such as standing on one leg, walking a straight line, and reciting the alphabet
  • Blood-Alcohol Level – A measurement of the alcohol content in your blood, breath, or urine

If you face DWI charges, you can potentially receive a very harsh punishment if you are convicted. This means it is important to hire a Minnesota DWI attorney that is experienced in defending DWI cases and has a proven record of success.

With the help of a skilled and experienced DWI / DUI MN attorney, you greatly increase the odds that your life will be back to normal and that your charges may be dropped or reduced. Don’t put your freedom at risk with Minnesota DWI attorneys that do not have the experience it takes to defend your case – hire Halberg Criminal Defense to handle your case.

To speak with a DWI / DUI MN attorney 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, contact us at (952) 224-4848 or via email at info@halbergdefense.com.
