Does a prior DUI DWI in another state affect me?
Much like a prior DWI/DUI conviction in the state of Minnesota, a prior DWI/DUI conviction from another state can affect any new charges here in Minnesota. DWI/DUI’s are called enhanceable offenses. That means that any new DWI/DUI charges will be worse if you have a prior conviction in the last 10 years. This includes out of state convictions.
On top of that, if your license was revoked in another state for a DWI/DUI, you may not be eligible for a license in Minnesota if that revocation is not cleared up. Additionally, if you have a Minnesota license and you get a DWI/DUI in another state, Minnesota can (and likely will) revoke your license here.
If you are charged with a DWI/DUI in Minnesota, or if your license is being revoked for a DWI/DUI in another state, call the experienced attorneys at Gerald Miller P.A. today to discuss your options.
