Client Avoid Prison on 8th DWI Conviction
Date: January 2020
Case: Felony DWI
Attorney: Michael J. Brandt
Result: Mike’s client was charged with a Felony DWI after an incident occurring in Hennepin County in July 2019. This was the client’s 8th DWI which called for nearly 6 years in prison and the loss of the client’s vehicle. Mike first negotiated a return of the client’s vehicle for a nominal fee. In the criminal case, Mike raised an issue regarding the propriety of the arrest of his client. This caused the prosecutor to agree to a negotiation where Mike’s client did not go to prison but rather was placed on probation and required to serve jail time and house arrest.
