DUI and DWI 40%

If you have been charged with a drunk driving offense, the worst thing you can do is go up against the judicial system alone. If you choose no representation or inadequate representation, you will be much more likely to suffer enormous consequences for your alleged crime. You may lose your license, pay a tremendous fine, or even go to jail. Don't risk your finances or freedom. Martin Law Office has helped clients accused of drunk driving, and we will work extremely hard for you.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 10%

Minor traffic violations can sky-rocket the price of your insurance premiums. If you have multiple infractions, it can result in a suspended license. And, being stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence is a very serious matter that could land you in prison!

Honest and knowledgeable

He is very honest and knowledgeable not like the others that i contacted that day. He took the time to walk me through my case (a very minor traffic incident) and explained me why it is not worth to retain any lawyer for that matter. He saved me $700 that other lawyers wanted charge me knowing that h...e is not getting anything for his time that spent with me.

Thank You Martin Law Offices!

I was very worried and after speaking with Martin my mind was at ease. He answered my questions honestly and effectively and my initial consultation was quick and well worth my time. After going to court on two different dates, my case was dismissed! I could not beleive it and was so glad that I hir...ed a lawyer. I would recommend anyone call Matthew Martin if they have questions or need a great criminal defense lawyer in Minnesota.
