Charges Dismissed in Minneapolis Traffic Case

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Earlier this month, Keller Law Offices secured the dismissal of a traffic ticket in Minneapolis on the day of trial.  Attorney Max Keller demanded all the police reports and tapes and the presence of the police officer at trial.  Even though he was a law-abiding bus driver, our client was falsely accused of an traffic offense due to slippery, snowy conditions.  The ticket was clearly unjust since the alleged violation was caused by the snow and not by any negligence on our client’s part.  Max Keller was able to obtain a CWOP or continuance without plea (similar to a continuance for dismissal or CFD) meaning that Max’s client got no conviction on his record.  Because he holds a Commercial Driver’s License or CDL, This favorable outcome was very important to our client, as he did not want to get a conviction in order to avoid harm to his CDL.  Needless to say, the client was very please with the outcome.  (27-CR-09-12039)

Urine Tests Shown to Be Unreliable–Another DWI Charge Dismissed due to Hard Work by Keller Law Offices

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

In a Hennepin County case heard at the Brookdale courthouse last week, Max Keller of Keller Law Offices  convinced the prosecutor to dismiss all DWI charges against his client.  Our client was arrested in New Hope and charged with a  first-time DWI based on a urine test of .12.  Because Urine tests for DWI , as administered in Minnesota, are known to be unreliable, Mr. Keller  persuaded the prosecutor that his client’s .12 test result was not accurate.  We presented a stack of evidence to show how unreliable urine tests for DWI are without a first void of the bladder, including recent orders by Judge Thuet and Judge Carter, both from DWI urine test cases in Dakota County.  Accordingly, all DWI charges against the client were dropped.  The client was very surprised and very happy.
