Out-of-state drunk driving defendants face special challenges

It is very common for business travelers and vacationers in Minnesota to have too much to drink and to wind up in jail for DWI. Jeffrey B. Ring & Associates understands the difficult situation out-of-state defendants' face, and our attorneys are here to help.

A DUI arrest in your own state is stressful enough. Facing charges on unfamiliar turf, with no local connections, can be frightening. For nearly 40 years, our lawyers have been seeing non-residents through the complex criminal justice system.

Our goal in every DUI case - resident or non-resident - is to conclude with the best possible result, whether that is dismissal or a reduced sentence. But for non-residents, we pay special attention to the aspects of a case related to their location. We aim to:

  • Get you home as quickly as possible
  • Obtain a dismissal
  • Obtain the minimum penalty
  • Appear on your behalf whenever possible
  • Protect your driver's license in your home state
  • Avoid probation in Minnesota

We do not waste your time

We understand that it is important to you, your job and your family for you to spend as little time traveling here as possible. The attorneys at Jeffrey B. Ring & Associates ensure that when your attendance is required, your valuable time is not wasted. We work hard ahead of time so that any visit you make will be productive. In some instances, your presence may not be required at all.

Dealing with your home state on issues such as driver's license suspension is straightforward. We take care of license issues all the time.

We have the resources, knowledge and decades of experience to successfully represent out-of-state DWI defendants in Minnesota.

A bail bond may be required by the court to ensure you return to the state for your court appearances. Our attorneys have long-standing relationships with bail agencies that make the process simple.

When a DWI case is complete, defendants often must serve probation. For out-of-state defendants, this can be difficult or impossible. We position clients so that probation in Minnesota often is not required.
