Case: DWI and Carrying a Pistol While Under the Influence of Alcohol
Attorney: Michael J. Brandt
Result: Mike’s client was charged with Fourth Degree DWI and Carrying a Pistol While Under the Influence. These charges stemmed from an incident occurring in Hennepin County in February of 2020. Based upon legal issues that Mike raised, Mike was able to negotiate a resolution where the DWI charge was dismissed and his client received a Stay of Adjudication on the pistol charge. This means that his client plead to the Carrying a Pistol charge but the judge did not convict the client of this. Mike’s client was placed on unsupervised probation for 1 year. When the client successfully completes probation, the remaining charge will also be dismissed. As part of the negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to the expungement of these records once Mike’s client is eligible.
