Just a couple of days ago, Governor Pawlenty signed the DWI Ignition Interlock Bill into Law. See here and here. The new DWI law for Ignition Interlock to allow driver’s to get your Driver’s License back more quickly does not go into effect until July 1, 2011 to give the Department of Public Safety (DPS) more time to write rules on this new DWI Ignition Interlock law and to iron out the details. As it stands, it will cost drivers about $100 per month to be on Ignition Interlock, and all repeat offenders, as well as those who get a first time DWI at an alcohol concentration of .16 or more, will be required to sign up for Ignition Interlock unless they want to be without a Driver’s License for at least 180 days. Many drivers, however, are already eligible for Ignition Interlock, which may reduce a driver’s mandatory minimum sentence. Check back here or at www.dwi-legal.com for more details as they become available or call 952-913-1421 for more information about DWI Ignition Interlock in Minnesota.

Governor Signs Ignition Interlock Bill Into Law: Drivers with DWI’s Can Get Back On The Road More Quickly
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Attorney Max Keller Wins Felony DWI Case in MN Supreme Court
Saturday, April 24th, 2010DWI Defense Attorney Max A. Keller of Keller Law Offices scored a big victory for his client in the Minnesota Supreme Court this week. Mr. Keller secured a reversal of the Court of Appeals and the trial court by a unanimous 7 to 0 vote of the Supreme Court. The Court’s opinion in an Anoka County Felony DWI case throws out our client’s felony DWI conviction. Therefore he will no longer be subject to felony probation for 7 years and a possible 42 month prison sentence. See http://www.courts.state.mn.us/opinions/sc/current/OPA080412-0422.pdf Needless to say, Mr. Keller’s Felony DWI client was EXTREMELY happy.
Another DWI Source Code Victory
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009Today, Keller Law Offices secured another victory in the long running DWI source code battle. We got an order from a judge in Anoka County, one of the harshest counties in Minnesota on DWI’s, allowing us access to the source code. Since our client only tested .12 on the Intoxilyzer, there is a good chance this case may be reduced to Careless Driving with the DWI charges dismissed.
