FAQs

How long will my DWI stay on my record?

Under Minnesota law, DWI offenses are enhanceable. This means that offenses in the past 10 years can be used to make a new charge more severe. For this reason, it is difficult to get a DWI conviction expunged from your record until at least 10 years have passed. A DWI conviction will remain on your record for the rest of your life unless you successfully petition the court for expungement. If you have a DWI conviction you want expunged from your record, contact the lawyers of Olson Defense for a free consultation to discuss your options.

What will happen with my driver's license?

If you are charged with a DWI or DUI, you will receive a notice of license revocation and it will inform you that your license will be revoked seven (7) days from the date of the incident. Therefore, you will be able to drive for 7 days after the incident but your driving privileges will then be revoked. Yes, that is right, driving in Minnesota is a privilege and they will take your driver license from you before you can even get into court to challenge your DWI.

My car was taken when I got a DWI, where is it?

It depends. Usually, when someone is pulled over and subsequently arrested for DWI, their car is not parked in a place where parking is allowed. As a result, the vehicle must be moved. When this happens, the officer will call a towing company and have the vehicle brought to their impound lot. On a first offense, you can generally pick the vehicle up after paying any towing, impound, and storage fees charged by the towing company.

I got a DWI and I have a commercial driver's license (CDL), what will happen?

A person convicted of a DWI is subject to license revocation. Under federal law, someone convicted of a DWI offense will also have his or her commercial driver's license suspended following a DWI conviction. For a first offense, a person's commercial driver's license will be suspended for 1 year. Subsequent offenses can result in 3 year, or even lifetime suspensions. It is important to note that if your DWI occurred while operating a commercial motor vehicle, the legal limit is not .08. While operating a commercial motor vehicle, the legal limit is .04. If you have a commercial driver's license and have been charged with a DWI offense, contact Olson Defense to protect your rights.

If I have prior DWI offenses, do I have to go to jail?

For a second offense within ten years of a previous DWI offense, you are supposed to be sentenced to a minimum of 30 days of incarceration with at least 48 hours spent in jail. For a third offense within ten years, a person is supposed to be sentenced to a minimum of 90 days of incarceration with at least 30 consecutive days spent in jail. For a fourth offense in a ten-year period, a person can be sentenced to a minimum of 180 days incarceration with at least 30 consecutive days spent in jail. For a fifth offense or more, a person can be sentenced to a minimum of one year of incarceration with at least 60 consecutive days spent in jail.

Second Amendment Lawyer Lynne Torgerson wins gun rights restoration after mental illness hospitalization due to excessive use of marijuana Minnesota Gun Rights Restoration Attorney Lynne Torgerson won restoration of gun rights from an involuntary hospitalization commitment due to psychosis which resulted from excessive use of marijuana. The problem with psychosis, or psychotic breaks with reality, from excessive use of marijuana is becoming more common, given that marijuana has been legalized recreationally in more than one state. This incident occurred in Colorado. Petitioner had a long successful career in the field of first responders. Petitioner had visited Colorado for vacation, and used excessive amount of marijuana via the various legalized forms of marijuana there. Petitioner began hallucinating and experienced delusions of grandeur. This resulted in an involuntary hospitalization commitment. This also caused the loss of Second Amendment rights under state and federal law. Under state and federal law, anyone subjected to an involuntary hospitalization or formal judicial commitment loses their gun rights for life. After some years, and realizing the gun rights consequences from what occurred, Petitioner desired to have his gun rights restored. A psychological expert was retained. A petition to restore gun rights was filed and a hearing was held. The State did not object to Petitioner’s request. Ms. Torgerson won the case. Call for legal assistance.
