Minnesota law and defense
Minnesota criminal law applies statewide, but the court process, local agency records, and practical details of a case depend on where it is filed. The information below explains important issues Andrew reviews when defending traffic offenses cases.
Traffic cases range from routine citations to criminal offenses and license consequences. Andrew represents drivers throughout Minnesota and looks at the practical impact of the charge as well as the legal defenses.

Andrew looks at the specific citation, the driver's license class, the vehicle involved, the person's driving history, and the potential employment consequences before deciding how aggressively the charge needs to be challenged.
