State v. W.T.

May, 2024
Charges: 3rd Degree DWI-Refusal - Gross Misdemeanor; 4th Degree DWI-Misdemeanor; Careless Driving - Misdemeanor

Plea to count 3, the misdemeanor careless driving, and the other two DWI counts were dismissed. Additionally, the client had no jail to serve and was placed on administrative probation. Even with a losing argument, the North Star team properly leveraged a motion hearing and witness availability issues for the State to get this utterly fantastic outcome. The client was uncooperative due to wanting to speak with an attorney - while a constitutional right, often, not at the times he was asking for the attorney. Despite the challenges it faced, the North Star team executed a savvy strategy and achieved the outcome the client needed.
