An effective appellate lawyer, Chuck successfully litigated Genin v. 1996 Mercury Marquis before the Minnesota Supreme Court, which ruled that vehicle owners need not pay storage fees when they win their forfeiture case.. In 2004 he prevailed before the Court of Appeals in State v. Bergh.  This case limits prosecutors' ability to use prior convictions and license revocations to enhance subsequent charges.  In yet another case that year, Chuck represented the appellant in State v. Blom, before the Minnesota Supreme Court.. In other notable appellate victories, the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that a police officer may not stop a driver merely for swerving in his own lane of traffic in State v. Hugger, which he argued all the way to the Supreme Court.  In State v. Bergerson, the appellate court recognized police officers may not purge the taint of an illegal stop of a motor vehicle when the driver attempts to flee.. Ramsay prevailed in State v. Sickmann, where he convinced the Minnesota Court of Appeals to grant Sickmann a new trial.  The court agreed with Ramsay that the law which permitted blood tests to be admitted was unconstitutional as it violated the confrontation clause.. Most recently, the court of appeals agreed the DWI test refusal law is unconstitutional.  Unfortunately, the state appealed the case of State v. Netland and the Supreme Court reversed the lower appellate court's decision.. See what issues he is pioneering today:
