We know that it only takes one mistake to find yourself in a difficult to understand criminal justice system, one where you face life-changing consequences. At The Law Offices of Leverson Budke, PLLC, we provide the tenacious legal defense you need. Whatever misdemeanor or felony charges have been filed against you, we can leverage our extensive litigation experience and knowledge to protect your rights and your future.

With the first DWI and no other aggravating factors, you can expect to lose your license for 30 to 90 days, and you will be fined a maximum of $1000 and/or spend 90 days in jail. Once the suspension period has passed, you will have to pay a fine to have your license reinstated as well as complete a DWI knowledge test for MN. Sounds like fun? Didn't think so, your best bet is with an experienced DUI/DWI attorney who fights all the way until the end, right by your side. 

A criminal record can haunt you for the rest of your life, no matter how long ago it’s been since the crimes were committed. When a potential employer or landlord runs a background check and sees any kind of crimes on your record, it can severely hurt your chances at acquiring a new job or finding a home. Minnesota’s expungement laws are complex, our attorneys have extensive experience successfully obtaining expungements throughout the state of Minnesota.
