ETHAN P. MEANEY is founding partner with the law firm of Meaney & Patirn, PA (better known as the DWI GUYS) and has been practicing in the area of DWI defense since 2001.  Prior to that he prosecuted hundreds of DWIs in Hennepin and Goodhue Counties.  Meaney has represented nearly a thousand DWI cases and is committed to top quality DWI representation.  Immediately out of law school Meaney was a judicial clerk for the Honorable Richard C. Perkins, Minnesota First Judicial District Court Judge.  He then joined the firm of Hoff, Barry & Kuderer in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where he was the sole criminal prosecutor.  From his time prosecuting, Meaney has developed a unique understanding of DWI law from a prosecutor's point of view and has utilized that in successfully representing his DWI clients.  In 2001 he joined the criminal defense firm of Gerald Miller & Associates, where he defended hundreds of DWI clients throughout Minnesota.  During this time he has tried countless license revocation (Implied Consent), DWI vehicle forfeiture, criminal DWI, and appellate DWI cases.   Meaney loves practicing in the area of criminal DWI defense because it gives him the opportunity to assist clients in an area of law that has become too harsh on Minnesota drivers, especially with regard to loss of license privileges, loss of vehicle and mandatory jail time.  His goal is to make sure drivers have a voice against an increasingly unsympathetic criminal justice system.
