If you are operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and are impaired, meaning you have a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .08 or more, you could be charged with a DWI. If you are pulled over, it is important that you provide the officer with your driver's license and insurance card, but ask for an attorney before answering any other questions.
Domestic Assault
Domestic assault charges arise when one person causes harm to a partner, former partner, or family member. Typically, the judge orders a no contact order between you and the alleged victim which can be challenging if you live in the same household. It is important to follow the order so that further penalties are not imposed. Usually upon the victim's request, the no contact order can be lifted. If you are charged with an assault crime, cooperate with police and do not make any statements until you speak with an attorney.
Assault
Assault charges can arise from a domestic dispute, a bar fight, or disagreement with another person. Minnesota classifies assault into 5 categories ranging from First Degree Assault, a felony, to Fifth Degree assault, a misdemeanor. It is important to remember that you can be charged with an assault without any actual physical encounter.
Expungement
An arrest or conviction may show up in your criminal record which can be detrimental when you are seeking somewhere to live or employment. Expungement strikes information in court files relating to criminal charges and generally allows the sealing of court records for criminal convictions.
Juvenile Charges
Juveniles generally appear before the juvenile court when charged with an offense. Juvenile court can impact many different aspects of a minor's life such as school, employment, or possibly freedom. In more serious cases, the State can seek to have the minor tried as an adult. Juveniles have rights and an attorney can help protect those rights.
