Specialties:

If you have been accused of a crime – any crime – you may feel stressed, confused and overwhelmed by the criminal justice system. You need an attorney who will listen to you, work directly with you, explain your options to you, protect your constitutional rights, and vigorously fight for you in and out of court.

I am Howard Bass, a criminal defense attorney with more than 30 years of experience. To the greatest extent possible, I ask my clients to leave with me whatever concerns, anxieties and worries they have about their situation and let me deal with it while they deal with the rest of their lives.

I will provide legal guidance and clear communication at every stage of your case — whether you are under investigation, have been charged with a crime, are headed to trial, are preparing an appeal or seeking post-conviction relief.

– DUI/DWI
– Drug Crimes

– Theft, Fraud & White Collar Crimes
– Violent Crimes
– Appeals & Post-Conviction Relief
– Probation Violations

It Makes Sense To Fight A DUI Charge

A DUI/DWI conviction is costly in many ways. In addition to jail or prison and fines, it can result in the loss of your driver’s license, the impoundment of your license plates, and the forfeiture of your vehicle. It can also increase your insurance costs, make you ineligible for certain jobs and prevent you from owning a firearm. Whether this is your first DUI/DWI arrest or you have had previous convictions, you need an experienced defense attorney who understands the complex drunk driving laws and will fight for you.

Experienced Misdemeanor, Gross Misdemeanor And Felony DUI/DWI Defense

I am Howard Bass, a skilled Burnsville DUI defense lawyer. For more than 30 years, I have provided a powerful, knowledgeable defense for people charged with drunk driving offenses. I can represent you at any stage in your case — whether you have just been charged, are going to trial or are filing an appeal.

Because so much is at stake with your DUI/DWI charge, it is important to retain the services of an experienced criminal defense lawyer who knows how to navigate the legal system and will aggressively defend you.

Minnesota DUI/DWI Charges Require Aggressive Defense

Legal penalties for drunk driving convictions are steep and can include:

  • Costly fines
  • Jail or prison time
  • Loss of driver’s license
  • Loss of license plates
  • Vehicle forfeiture
  • Mandatory alcohol assessment and treatment

As your attorney, I will work directly with you, building the strongest defense possible for your situation. While fighting the criminal charges, I will also work on the civil side, challenging your driver’s license revocation, the impoundment of your license plates, and the forfeiture of your vehicle. I will also provide you with advice on how to obtain reinstatement of your driving privileges so your employment doesn’t suffer.

Trust your case to someone who is regularly selected for inclusion in the Minnesota Super Lawyers listing, named one of the “Best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Minnesota” by Minnesota Monthly, and selected by his peers for inclusion in “The Best Lawyers in America.” Trust your case to me.

DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN A MISDEMEANOR, GROSS MISDEMEANOR AND FELONY DUI/DWI?

How your drunk driving charge is classified depends on several factors, including:

  • If your blood alcohol content was .16 or greater
  • If you refused to submit to alcohol concentration testing
  • If there was a passenger under the age of 16 in the vehicle
  • If you caused an accident that injured or killed someone
  • If you were driving while your license was revoked or cancelled for a prior alcohol-related crime
  • Any previous drunk driving convictions or alcohol-related driver’s license revocations
