  1. Hinkfuss, Sickel, Petitjean & Wieting: Charges for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) can be either civil (in the case of most first offenses) or criminal. Being charged with an OWI can be a very difficult time for both the individual charged, as well as for his or her family. An arrest or conviction for OWI can have many possible implications including, but not limited to, jail time, fines, suspension or revocation of a driver’s license, ignition interlock, alcohol or drug treatment requirements and insurance issues. Recent changes in Wisconsin’s drunk driving laws have increased the severity of the potential penalties.

  4. Schenk Law Firm: Criminal Defense Law If you didn't do it, then you didn't do it! Why should you have to plead guilty to a crime that you did not commit? Sometimes, the only way to prove your innocence is to convince a jury.
  5. Froelich Law Offices: conduct a thorough investigation of the arrest and look at multiple areas, including: * Police reports for inaccuracies and lack of consistency * Determining if there was reasonable suspicion to conduct the stop * Determining if there was probable cause to arrest * Determining if profiling took place * Looking at how you did in the field sobriety tests * Studying preliminary breath/Breathalyzer test * Examining lab and BAC reports * Examining testing equipment records
  6. Schwitzer & Simon: The OWI / DUI laws in Wisconsin change frequently, with the state legislature constantly increasing the penalties for these types of offenses. That is why it is important to seek the assistance of a professional, who is experienced in helping individuals with these types of matters. We know that drivers can, at times, be wrongly accused. It is not against the law to drink and drive in Wisconsin, only to drive while you are impaired. So just because you've been arrested, does not necessarily mean that you are guilty. Wisconsin - OWI / DWI / DUI Laws * 1st OWI Offense in Wisconsin In Wisconsin, a first offense drunk driving arrest is not a criminal offense. It is considered an ordinance violation, which results only in a monetary penalty and a revocation of your driver's license. However, if convicted, you may also be required to get an AODA (alcohol or other drug assessment) assessment and go to treatment classes. You may allso be required to obtain very costly SR-22 insurance for your vehicle. This can result in long lasting consequences to you. A 1st offense OWI is very serious, and remains on your driving record for life! * 2nd - 4th OWI Offense in Wisconsin If you are arrested for a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th offense OWI / DWI / DUI in Wisconsin, you could be facing fines of over $2,000, revocation of your driver's license for several years, and jail time ranging anywhere from 5 days to 1 year, if convicted. This type of conviction is also considered a criminal offense, and will leave you with a criminal record. * 5th OWI Offense and above in Wisconsin A conviction for 5th offense OWI / DWI / DUI and above is a felony in Wisconsin. Punishment can range from 6 months all the way up to 6 years in prison. However, the State of Wisconsin is getting more and more harsh on felony drunk driving cases, and in most instances the Prosecutor will be trying to put people convicted of such offenses in prison for years rather than months
  7. Langan, Alf: A DWI or DUI arrest not only results in criminal charges, but also puts your driver's license in jeopardy. If your driving privileges are important to you, please do not proceed without an experienced DUI/DWI lawyer.
  8. Froelich Law Offices: If you have been arrested for an OWI/DUI or have a serious traffic violation you need to take care of, you are, more than likely, confused and do not know what to do. You will be wondering how the arrest is going to affect your future. It can be an overwhelming experience — do not make the mistake of thinking you can handle it on your own — if not handled properly it could have a devastating effect on the rest of your life.
  9. Mark Howe: You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
  10. Brabazon Law Office: Perhaps you need your driver's license back after a DUI or are accused of a felony. You need experienced criminal defense attorneys who will stand solidly by your side. Many persons charged with an OWI refuse to hire an attorney and simply enter a guilty or no contest plea. These people are usually under the misconception that there are no defenses to OWI charges. THIS SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE! In many cases there are legitimate defenses to an OWI charge. Even if there is not a defense that leads to charges being dismissed, in many situations, an experienced DWI/OWI attorney at Brabazon Law Office will be able to minimize the potential damages. There are many issues our drunk driving attorneys can address that most individuals charged with OWI or DWI are unaware of. If you have been charged with an OWI anywhere in Wisconsin, you should consider hiring an attorney. This is true whether you feel you are guilty or not. A good drunk driving lawyer will at a minimum review the facts of your case for possible defenses, present arguments to minimize the severe consequences and help explain the effects an OWI conviction will have on your Wisconsin driver’s license, your work and your family.
