In a Faribault County case where his client was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Meth., Max got all the DWI charges dismissed when the Judge agreed with Max's arguments that the police lacked probable cause to demand a blood test from his client. (T0-02-2516)
In a Jackson County case, Max got his client's Underage Drinking and Driving charge dismissed when Max convinced the Judge to throw out or "suppress" his client's statement that the client had driven to school, because the school police failed to advise the student/client of his Miranda right to remain silent. After the client's statement was tossed out, there was no evidence indicating that the client drove to school that day; therefore the Underage Drinking & Driving charge had to be dismissed. (T2-04-223)
In a Martin County case, Max won a jury trial acquittal where his client was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana, even though Marijuana was found in the vehicle and in his bloodstream, because there was no evidence that the client smoked marijuana on the day the police stopped him.
In an Anoka County case, a client was charged with his second DWI in three years. Max won his client's implied consent Driver's License revocation case because, among other things, the police read the wrong form to his client.

Every court case is highly fact-dependent, so the results of the Success Stories above are not necessarily predictive of the outcome of your case. The outcome of each case depends on a variety of factors, some of which are largely out of our control, such as the judge and prosecutor assigned to your case, whether they are having a good or bad day, and how busy the calendar is. Past success is not a guarantee of future results.
