DWI and DUI defense and the firm's Minnesota DWI resource pages
DWI and DUI defense is one of the practice areas Arneson and Geffen, PLLC publishes on its site, and the firm's DWI and DUI page carries what it calls a "DWI Resource Center" describing Minnesota DWI law in general terms. The topics that page covers include the circumstances under which a person can be charged with DWI/DUI in Minnesota, how alcohol concentration is defined, the aggravating factors that determine the degree of the offense, mandatory bail and release conditions, and administrative sanctions that are separate from any criminal case, including license revocation, plate impoundment and vehicle forfeiture.
The page states that under Minnesota law there are time limitations for filing a challenge to a license revocation, plate impoundment or vehicle forfeiture associated with a case, and it urges anyone arrested for a DWI to reach out to an experienced DWI attorney quickly. It does not follow that any particular deadline, penalty or result applies to any particular person: what the page publishes is a general description of Minnesota law, not advice about an individual case, and the firm should be asked directly about anything specific.

Published case results and client reviews, and what they do not mean
Arneson and Geffen, PLLC publishes a Case Results page describing past criminal matters the firm says it handled, listed by case name, attorney, charge and result — for example domestic assault, felony theft, aggravated robbery, criminal sexual conduct and several DWI matters. The page opens with a note that it does not include "the hundreds of cases where clients have obtained a Stay of Adjudication/Diversion, resulting in a clean criminal record," and says most of those involved 5th to 3rd Degree Controlled Substance Crimes as well as other misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor and felony cases. Similar past matters appear under "SUCCESS STORIES" on the DWI and DUI page.
These are descriptions of past cases only. They do not indicate, promise or predict what will happen in any other case. No outcome, dismissal, reduction, acquittal, sentence, license reinstatement or effect on a criminal record can be inferred from them for anyone else, and every case turns on its own facts and its own court. Nothing here should be read as advice about a specific charge, deadline or eligibility.
