If you have been arrested for a DUI then hopefully they have very little evidence to prosecute you with. If you refused the roadside sobriety test and all attempts by the cops to get you to discuss drinking then you have done the right thing. Hopefully, all they have is results from your breath test, videos of you driving and while you were in being booked and that is it.

Debunking the Evidence

The most common winning courtroom tactics of a qualified Minneapolis DUI attorney is to explain to the jury that you were extremely exhausted and that accounts for your walking difficulties and slurred speech, "if you made the mistake of speaking". Next, he or she will attack the breath or blood test results.

The Ride to the Police Station or Jail

An expert medical witness will be brought in to explain that you consumed the drinks immediately prior to driving your vehicle. In that short a time frame your body couldn't have absorbed enough alcohol for you to be legally intoxicated. The expert will demonstrate that the alcohol was absorbed into your system during the time you were being driven to the police station to take your test.

DUIs are Expensive to Win

It's a common Minneapolis DUI attorney defense tactic but it is an expensive one. It means a full jury trial with an expert medical witness and neither of those come cheap. Your looking at $15,000-$30,000 depending on how drunk you were and if you have any other related charges, such as an accident or a resisting arrest etc.

DUIs are Just As Expensive to Lose

However; a conviction can be just as expensive when all of the costs are accounted for. Lost wages while you are incarcerated, fines, taxi rides after you lose your license, drunk driving school and increased insurance premiums add up quick and big. The fact is that DUIs are very winnable if you have a qualified Minneapolis DUI attorney.
