With over 20 years of experience in criminal defense, we fight to protect your rights, minimize penalties, and help you move forward with your life.
Understanding OWI Charges
In Wisconsin, OWI refers to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A first offense is typically a civil matter, but it can still result in serious penalties, including license suspension and fines. Repeat offenses, high blood alcohol levels, or the presence of minors in the vehicle can quickly escalate the situation to a criminal charge.
You could be facing:
- Mandatory license revocation
- Ignition interlock device installation
- Jail time for repeat offenses
- Substantial fines and court costs
- Permanent criminal record
- Employment and insurance consequences
These penalties can vary depending on the specifics of your case, including your BAC level, prior offenses, and whether an accident occurred.
Your Best Defense Starts Early
After an OWI arrest, time is critical. In many cases, you have a limited window to challenge your license suspension or take action that could affect the outcome of your case.
At Paradise Law Office, we thoroughly analyze every detail of your arrest, including:
- Whether the traffic stop was lawful
- How sobriety tests were administered
- The accuracy and reliability of breath or blood test results
- Any violations of your constitutional rights
We use that information to build a strong, strategic defense aimed at reducing or dismissing the charges against you.
