When the weight of the world is
on your shoulders...

...we've got your back.

If you've been arrested for a DUI in Wisconsin, you may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.  Your family depends on you... and you need a lawyer that you can depend on.  You've just found that lawyer.

You may be feeling confused, angry, or somewhat fearful about what's happened to you. The process of being arrested, taken to jail, fingerprinted, and photographed was probably very dehumanizing to you. I understand that many good, hardworking and creative people are arrested for DUI.  Many are treated as though they are criminals.  So, I sincerely sympathize with you.

To be honest with you, you're faced with a charge that can have serious consequences. I don't want to scare you, but let me give you a glimpse of what's in store for you. If your case goes the wrong way you could lose your license, your insurance could go up, you could be fined, it could hurt you when you apply for a job, and you could even go to jail.

If you drive for a living, you need the best possible help.

If you drive for a living, your career may be at stake. I understand just how important your case is to you and your family. I've been there before and I've saved many careers overs the years.  I've helped truckdrivers, police officers, firefighters, salespersons, airline pilots and many others whose careers were on the line.

There is a good chance that I can help you.

You're probably like most people arrested for a OWI-DUI. You don't really know the right thing to do about it and you don't know whether or not you can win if you fight your case.   You may wonder whether you need a lawyer, how much to pay a lawyer - and most of all, you wonder whether you ought to fight your case. 

These are fair questions, and the answers are different in most cases.  It takes a skilled lawyer to evaluate these things.  And you want to know that the lawyer is someone whose advice you can trust.

I'd like you to know that there's a good chance I can help. Did you know that there are at least 20 possible challenges that can be made to the charges you are facing? I can raise applicable ones for you so your case is as strong as possible.

Sure, I can just fill out the forms and talk to the District Attorney like many other lawyers, but in many cases the best choice is to fight. That's the kind of case I focus on.

My goal is to to keep your record clean, and to prevent you from losing your freedom and your license to drive. You see, my practice is based on the belief that you are a good person and that you do not deserve the harsh treatment that you are facing.  In fact, I start with the presumption that you were arrested when you shouldn't have been.

This isn't just talk.  Go to the Representative Cases page for some examples of the thousands of people that I have helped over the years - with client testimonials.

It is not so simple.

The District Attorney prosecutes these types of cases all day. He knows, and is willing to use all of the fine legal points that are available to him.

The law says that he only needs to prove that after drinking you were not able to drive your car safely or that your blood alcohol exceeded a certain limit. That sounds pretty cut and dried, but it's not quite as simple as that.

You see, if challenged, the DA also has to show that the arresting officer had a good reason to stop you, detain and investigate you, that the field tests were administered fairly , that  the arrest was made properly, that you were properly advised of your rights, that the equipment used to test you was working accurately, that the equipment was used properly and even that the person operating that equipment was certified to operate it. If  they have information that may tend to show that you are innocent, a good attorney can make him give you that information also.

The DA often  won't agree to turn over the information critical to your case about the accuracy of a blood test or breath test. But, I know how to get that information and use it. I know how and where to make the proper motions which force the DA to prove that all the steps used in your arrest were done properly. If they weren't, then his case is weakened. Moreover, I know how to take the extra steps to investigate the accuracy of blood tests and breath tests, so that you have the best possible chance of winning.   I am one of the very few lawyers who knows the science of chemical testing in detail, and I know how to find out when the tests are wrong.

No honest attorney can guarantee a win because each case is unique, just as each person is unique.  It takes an experienced lawyer to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a case. 

However, all things being equal, I think you'll find that I am exceptionally well-skilled and that I fiercely protect your rights. A lawyer who is a proven winner, with legitimate, top-rated credentials and a recognized reputation for excellence gives you your best chance of winning.

When you retain me you'll get expert legal help from one of the most respected attorneys in Wisconsin, a nationally known OWI-DUI defense lawyer who knows how to guide your case through the complexities of the legal system and win, because I've done it many, many times.

You'll be certain you are being treated fairly by the judicial system because I'll insist:

• That the District Attorney provide us with the name and address of anyone he plans to call as a witness, as well as copies of every written or recorded statements of their testimony. This will allow us to prepare our questions for them
• That the DA provide us with any information or material he has which would show that you are not guilty of the charges against you, or which may help you get a lighter sentence
• That the DA provide copies of records showing that the equipment used for blood or breath tests was functioning properly, that the person giving the tests was properly certified and that the test was done correctly
• That the DA prove that all of the proper procedures were followed, from the stop, through the field sobriety tests and that you were properly advised of all of your rights. If you weren't, the DA's case may be weakened.

I'll make the District Attorney produce his proof in advance, and let him know that I will be contesting in court all these points I mentioned. When the prosecution is challenged, they are often unable to meet that challenge.

As you can see, what looks simple gets pretty complex.  You don't want to doubt or wonder whether your attorney knows how to do the job.  As your attorney I will work tirelessly for you, so that you will have the best possible case.

Actually, there is much, much more.  You may want to download the Special Report at the top of this page, which tells you how to choose a lawyer, the seven critical factors in a drunk driving case and why a two-pronged strategy is always the best.
