Asserting the right defense against an OWI charge

 Posted on May 31,2017 in DUI/OWI

If a traffic stop in Wisconsin is based on a suspected drunk driving incident, a motorist is likely to face various steps and tests that will determine if they are in fact under the influence of alcohol. If police believe that a driver is over the legal blood alcohol content limit, that driver could face a drunk driving charge.

Being charged with an OWI is a difficult predicament to be in. Such a charge can result in harsh penalties and consequences. Because those facing an OWI in Wisconsin are only allowed 10 days to request a hearing before a driver's license is suspended, our law firm understands the importance of taking immediate action following a drunk driving charge.

At our law firm, we understand drunk driving laws and defense options. We are dedicated to helping residents in the Delafield area successfully navigate the criminal defense process. Whether it is your first offense or not, we do our best to help our clients navigate the process and understand their rights.

Most defendants feel like the state has collected quite a bit of evidence against them. Nonetheless, we understand that evidence can be improperly collected, allowing an opportunity to suppress it. Whether it is during the field sobriety test or during a breath or blood test, if police officers do not follow protocol this could give reason to question and dismiss that evidence.
