Driving While Impaired (DWI)

A DWI charge doesn’t guarantee a conviction. At Capitol City Law Group, our experienced Minnesota DWI lawyers challenge traffic stops, field sobriety tests, breathalyzer or blood test results, police procedures, and whether alcohol caused the alleged impairment.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence allegations can be complicated, as they include acts carried out by a family or household member that result in physical harm, personal injury, or instill fear. Charges can range from misdemeanor to felony, depending on the severity and specific circumstances involved.

An experienced domestic violence attorney can help you determine the most effective defense approach.

Drug Crimes

Drug crimes in state and federal courts, including possession and sale charges, can carry severe consequences. This is especially true for individuals with prior drug felony convictions. In some cases, convictions could result in life imprisonment.

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution plays an important role in defending against drug crimes, protecting individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement. A strong legal team of Minneapolis criminal defense attorneys well-versed in constitutional law is essential for your defense.

Violent Crimes

In Minnesota, offenses like assault, battery, homicide, domestic violence, and robbery are treated as serious violent crimes and are typically charged as felonies.

Our team builds a strong defense strategy when clients are charged with violent crimes. This might involve arguing for self-defense, disputing intent, addressing mistaken identity, and presenting insanity defenses when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

faq-img
What Should I Do If I’ve Been Arrested?

Seek legal representation immediately and avoid making statements to law enforcement until you have consulted with a criminal defense lawyer.

How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer can vary depending on the details of your case. Factors like the type and severity of the charges, the lawyer’s experience, and whether your case goes to trial all play a role.

Misdemeanor cases are often handled for a set, flat fee, while more serious or complex felony charges may involve higher or hourly rates. Because every situation is unique, the best way to understand potential costs is to meet with an attorney and discuss the specifics of your case.

Can I represent myself in a criminal case in Minnesota?

While it’s legally allowed, representing yourself (pro se) is not recommended. Criminal law is complex, and having an experienced attorney is crucial for a fair and informed defense.

What is the 36-hour rule?

The defendant must be brought before a judge without unnecessary delay. It must not be more than 36 hours after the arrest, exclusive of the day of arrest, Sundays, and legal holidays, or as soon as a judge is available.

What is the statute of limitations on criminal charges in Minnesota?

The statute of limitations for criminal charges in Minnesota varies depending on the severity of the crime, with most misdemeanors and some felonies having a three-year limit. Certain crimes impose a five-year, six-year, and nine-year statute. It’s best to talk to an experienced Minneapolis criminal defense lawyer to clarify the statute of your criminal charges.
