Experienced OWI Defense

We focus on defending OWI charges and understand how these cases are handled in local Wisconsin courts.

Local Court Experience

Familiarity with prosecutors, judges, and court procedures across southern Wisconsin matters in OWI cases.

Strategic, Early Representation

Early legal guidance allows critical review of the stop, testing, and evidence before key deadlines pass.

Why Acting Quickly Matters After an OWI Arrest

OWI cases move quickly, often before your first court appearance. Administrative license suspensions, charging decisions, and evidence preservation issues can arise within days of an arrest. Waiting to speak with a defense attorney can limit your options. Early legal representation allows time to evaluate the traffic stop, testing procedures, and the State’s evidence before critical deadlines pass.

What We Focus On in OWI Defense Cases

Every OWI case is fact-specific. A strong defense starts with careful review of how the case began, how evidence was gathered, and how the State intends to proceed.

Focus of OWI Defense:

  • Legality of the Traffic Stop – Whether law enforcement had a lawful basis to stop the vehicle.
  • Field Sobriety and Chemical Testing – How tests were administered and whether procedures were followed correctly.
  • Probable Cause for Arrest – Whether officers had a legally sufficient basis to request testing or make an OWI arrest.
  • Administrative License Suspension Issues – Immediate and long-term driver’s license consequences and available challenges.
  • Charging Level and Exposure – How prior history and alleged conduct affect the charge and potential penalties.
  • Early Case Strategy and Evidence Review – Identifying issues early allows meaningful review of reports, video evidence, and testing before positions harden.

What to Expect When You Call

Reaching out does not commit you to anything. The goal of the initial call is to understand your situation and provide clear guidance on next steps.

Initial Consultation Process:

  • Confidential Discussion – You will speak with a criminal defense attorney or trained intake staff about the OWI charge, court location, and timing.
  • Clear Explanation of Immediate Issues – We identify any urgent concerns, including license consequences and upcoming deadlines.
