The test at the station controls charging for the most part. You may ultimately not be charged with a DWI if you were below the legal limit on the Datamaster test. But there could be other offenses that might be applicable under the circumstances depending on the reasons that you were pulled over.

Yes. If you had the keys you were likely in physical control of the vehicle. But that doesn’t mean that you will be found guilty or get a conviction on your record. Get an attorney to help you.

Public defenders don't "make things up" to get people to take plea deals. They give honest advice on what they believe you should do in terms of taking an agreement or going to trial. It is then up to you decide how you want to move forward. You could certainly seek to withdraw... View More

That's impossible to answer for certain without details. A question like this is very fact-specific and can't be answered with so little information.

It’s unclear what you are charged with or what the video is supposed to depict. You need to be represented if you are charged with a crime. Get an attorney.

You need to get an attorney on board ASAP. It is unclear where your case is procedurally. Did you admit to the probation violation and fail to turn yourself in? Is there this a warrant for a probation violation and the recommendation from probation is that you serve 30 days in jail? This is all... View More

You typically cannot file a removal request once the judge in your case has made substantive decisions in your case. Ultimately, you have a right to appeal the Court's decision on appeal if you lose the case. FYI, the fact that someone is described as an "assistant public defender"... View More

If you have lived in WI for 8 years, you should have long ago gotten a WI license. But that is a separate issue. WI will suspend your privilege to drive in WI. MN will then honor that suspension. So your MN license will get revoked. You will have to go through the process of getting your... View More

I have seen many cases where a person was arrested for DUI even though the police officer did not observe driving. And I've won many of those cases after working hard on motions to dismiss and rescind. The two most common scenarios are (1) a person suspected to have been driving a disabled... View More

As I mentioned in my other answer to your similar question, that case would be weaker than the normal case where the police officer did observe driving, operating or control of a motor vehicle. In addition, it's common for people to drink at home, after driving. That is a defense to a DWI... View More

Most DWI arrests follow a traffic stop by police. But not all. Some few follow a police contact at the arrested person's home. And some follow events that do not include police observation of driving. However, often DWI cases where the police do not observe driving, operating or control... View More

When a probation officer alleges that a probationer violated a condition of a stayed sentence, he or she can ask a judge to sign an Arrest and Detain Order. This is the functional equivalent to an Arrest Warrant. The main purpose of either is to get the named person into custody. A secondary... View More

I’m assuming you mean reinstate your driver’s license. The best way to find out your exact requirements is to report to the DMV next week. They can give you all particular information you need.

You will need to handle the charge. Waiting will just result in getting arrested. You will likely face additional penalties because of the warrant.

So you may have some defenses/legal challenges available but each case must be reviewed independently. You have the right to review all evidence against you and file Omnibus motions to challenge the admissibility of evidence in your case. Of course you have the right to a trial as well. I would...

I suggest hiring an immigration attorney to assist you with the adjustment of status process. If the DUI is the only thing on your record, it should not be an issue.

Hard to say without being there, or knowing anything about the specifics. You could have asked a judge to review that request. The judge might have ordered it not necessary. But it sounds like you already did it.

No. The insurance is affected by the person driving the vehicle - ie. your boyfriend, rather than the fact that the vehicle was involved in an accident.

That is an extremely vague question, but the general answer would be no, there are not. But you should speak with an attorney about your specific circumstances to see if it might meet some exception.

The legal standard is the same regardless of that time of year it is. However, DWI may be more heavily enforced during peak time periods.
