Mike Brandt’s client, a college student in the State of Iowa, was in Minnesota visiting friends when she received a DWI on New Year’s Eve. In representing this client, Mike was successful in negotiating with the prosecutor to allow his client to plead to a lesser charge of Careless Driving. This kept an alcohol-related incident off of his client’s driving record. Mike was also successful in challenging the revocation of the client’s driving privileges through a process called a Petition for Judicial Review. Because Mike got the DWI charge reduced to Careless Driving and the license revocation removed from her driving record, there is no notation on the client’s driving record of any alcohol-related offenses. This also saved her driving privileges in the state of Iowa.
This is the type of outcome that comes about from thorough preparation, working with the prosecutors, and knowing the facts and the law.
