Representative Cases

Every case is different, so our long history of success is not a guarantee that we will win your case.  We are proud, however, to give you just a few of the many examples of why we are considered one of the best DUI OWI law firms in America.

Some Recent Successes:

Oak Creek v. Christopher (last name withheld): August 2010:  Christopher was a gentleman from out-of-state with a good job that required extensive traveling.  An alcohol-related driving conviction would have ruined his career. Christopher was reported to the police by a citizen witness.  The witness reported that he was an intoxicated driver in the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant.  He was located and arrested by the police in the parking lot of the restaurant.  The citizen witness proved to be an unreliable witness.  The charge was reduced to a non- DUI charge, with no driver's license revocation.  Christopher's career was saved.

State of Wisconsin v. Bruce (last name withheld): July 2010.  Walworth County, Wisconsin. While being represented by a different lawyer, Bruce plead guilty to a felony fifth offense drunk driving in 2004.  He served 21 months in prison and was on parole (now called extended supervision).  When he was arrested again in 2009, he called Attorney Mishlove.  Because of the recent arrest, Bruce, was ordered to serve another 15 months in prison on the old, 2004, felony charge.  Attorney Mishlove successfully argued that the 2004 case should really have been a fourth rather than a fifth offense, so he had already done more than the maximum sentence.   Bruce's charge was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and he was immediately released from prison.

State of Wisconsin v. Paul (last name withheld): June 2010.  Winnebago County third offense charge.    Paul was a 45 year old truckdriver facing a third offense drunk driving charge.  His career was on the line (not to mention a long jail sentence).  Paul was found passed out behind the wheel of his running vehicle at a truckstop.   Attorney Mishlove tried the case to a jury and Paul was found Not Guilty.

State of Wisconsin v. Gene (last name withheld):  May 2010, Walworth County third offense charge.  Attorney Lauren Stuckert.  Gene was charged in Walworth County, Wisconsin with third offense drunken driving.  We were convinced that it should have been charged as a first offense.  The judge, however, didn't see it that way and Gene was facing up to one year in jail.  We were very confident that we could win an appeal; but, it turned out that an appeal was unnecessary.  Attorney Stuckert tried the case to a jury and Gene was found Not Guilty.

City of South Milwaukee v. Justin (last name withheld): April 2010, Attorney Lauren Stuckert.  Justin was arrested by the City of South Milwaukee police.  He declined to give a breath sample and was also charged with refusal to submit to the test.   We successfully argued that Justin was never properly advised of his rights regarding the chemical test, so he did not legally refuse the test.  Both the refusal and the drunken driving were dismissed.

State of Wisconsin v. Daniel (last name withheld):  April 2010, Racine County circuit court, third offense OWI charge.  Daniel was arrested in 2006 for this case.  The matter was delayed time after time, so that the state could provide an undamaged copy of the arrest video.  Eventually the judge dismissed the case, but the court of appeals reinstated the matter. Recently, there was a series of hearings and arguments about why the video was not properly produced.  Surprisingly, it was discovered that the state had an undamaged copy all along.   Case dismissed.

State of Wisconsin v. Scott (last name withheld): March 2010.  Scott was arrested after crashing his car into a neighbors garage, after leaving the neighbor's house.  Unfortunately, Scott was impaired by alcohol, and was charged with drunken driving.  The charge was dismissed because we successfully argued that he never actually operated the car on a public roadway.

State of Wisconsin v. Sean (last name withheld):  March 2010.  Last year, Sean hired an inexperienced lawyer, plead guilty to third offense OWI and was sentenced to jail.  He did have two prior OWI convictions.  We looked at the prior convictions and quickly realized that neither one of them should have been counted.  In a recent hearing, Sean's case was reduced from a third offense to a first offense.

City of Waukesha v. Patrick (last name withheld):  February 2010, Attorney Lauren Stuckert.  OWI and Refusal.  Not Guilty finding on both counts after trial.

City of Milwaukee v. Chad (last name withheld): February 2010, Attorney Lauren Stuckert.  OWI, Hit and Run and Refusal. All charges dismissed on defendant's motion at trial.

Village of Jackson v. George (last name withheld), Feb 2010 George is a 46 year old truckdriver who had never been in trouble before in his life. But this charge would have cost him his career. We were able to get the charge reduced to reckless driving. George is still a truckdriver.

Kenosha County v. David (last name withheld). Feb. 2010 David was an Illinois driver facing a lifetime Illinois driver’s license revocation. The prosecutor refused to negotiate, so we went to trial. They were unable to properly present their evidence, so they had to reduce the charge to reckless driving.

The following are examples of case examples and client reviews our law firm that have been posted by our clients on the independent lawyer-rating internet site: www.Avvo.com . Every case is different and past success is no guarantee for the future. Here are examples, however, of why the Law Offices of Andrew Mishlove is considered the finest DUI defense firm in Wisconsin and one of the best in America.

Never Think Your Situation is Hopeless - Hire a Specialist
Posted by: anonymous, 2009-08

Client Review: I hired attorney Mishlove to fight a DUI involving a blood test. i fought the charges at a 12 man jury , Attorney Mishlove not only is an excellent trial attorney. He also knows blood alcohol science. His knowledge in this field won me a not guilty verdict. All 12 jurors were convinced of my innocence. In something as serious as DUI ,hire the best. Lawyer Comment: This blood test case resulted in a not guilty verdict, due to possible contamination of the blood sample.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON’T KNOW HOW LUCK YOU CAN BE!
Posted by: Cynthia, 2009-11-16

Client Review: Taking into consideration the embarrassing nature of being charged with a DUI and then not being able to focus on the importance of selecting an attorney to represent you...........What an uncomfortable situation! I was referred to Atty Mishlove by a friend who is an attorney in another state. His words were "why not go with the best?" "you deserve the best representation possible."
Lawyer's Comment: Cynthia's case was dismissed.

Reduced My First Offense
Posted by: anonymous, 2009-11-11.

Client Review: I'm an Illinois resident that got pulled over just before the border in Wisconsin. Andrew did an excellent job getting my charge reduced (which isn't easy in Wisconsin) and preventing me from having to go through the nightmare of dealing with the elevated penalties Illinois applies to its drivers when they receive a DUI in Wisconsin. Would highly recommend.
Lawyer's Comment: This case was reduced to a non-DUI charge.

My Perfect Lawyer
Posted by: Mitch, 2009-10-29

Client Review: Andrew Mishlove could be the best DWI lawyer in Wisconsin. I was pushed to make a deal in my pending situation. I told my lawyer that the deal was unacceptable. He told me that he went to a seminar that was hosted by Andrew, and that his expertise would be needed to defend my case. I used both lawyers together and it was the best decision I could have made in this situation. Andrew was incredible, to say the least! His expertise was crucial to getting my case dismissed. His knowledge of DWI Law is a step above any attorney that your friend, co-worker, or relative may refer you. I can not express in words how much Andrew has helped me & family through. Thank you, Andrew!

Lawyer's Comment: Mitch's case was dismissed when it was discovered that the police had covered up the loss of evidence.

Who's in Your Corner, Fighting for You?
Posted by: Ed, 2009-10-27

Client Review: Thank You, Andrew and Sarah !!!! I really appreciate your genuine interest in my well being, as well as interpreting the facts related to the stop, and defending me in my DUI case. I have really taken a hard look at my past drinking patterns, and will continue working to assure I will never make this mistake again.

Lawyer's Comment: Ed's case was dismissed.

Mr. Mishlove is a great attorney
Posted by: Andrea, 2009-10-19

Client Review: He was able to inform us of how the law works and informed us "do not plea guilty to the DUI charge." He was able to have charge dismissed and get us a misdemeanor, which helped my husband keep his license and save us from having to pay costly insurance payments down the road.

Lawyer Comment: Andrea’s case was dismissed.

From felony to a misdemeanor
Posted by: Steven, 2009-10-15

Client Review: Because of the knowledge and expertise of Mr. Mishlove, my felony 5th D.U.I. was reduced to a misdemeanor 4th. In addition, he argued for the minimum sentence for a 4th offense and we won. I had a few factors working to my benefit in the case, but without Mr. Mishlove the outcome would not have been possible. I would highly recommend his service for a D.U.I./ O.W.I. case.

Got the job done

OWI Mishaps
Posted by: Terry, 2009-10

Client Review: Mishlove law office staff very understanding about my problem and kept me informed every step of the way during the process. Andrew gave great advice and very understanding to my needs. If you have an OWI or any traffic offence you would want Andrew Mishlove fighting in you corner.

Lawyer's Comment: Terry's case was dismissed.

Adam (last name with-held on this website)
Posted by: anonymous, 2009-08-11.

Client Review: Great lawyer, I am still in the middle of my case but it is looking very optimistic. He did a great job of looking at every detail and finding the best way to fight my case.
Lawyer's Comment: Adam's case was dismissed on December 28, 2009, after the court had ruled that he was illegally stopped by the police.

Endorsment from client: Mark (last name withheld on this website) Antioch (IL)
Client Review: After working with Andrew, I have to say that he is one of the most competent people I have ever met. His attention to every detail and skill in the courtroom is unsurpassed. As a former client of his, I have nothing but praise and if you are in need of representation, you can do no better.
Lawyer's Comment: Mark's charge was reduced to reckless driving.

He works for you
Client Review: Andrew Mishlove's swagger was the first thing I noticed about him. He is a very confident man, and with his knowledge of laws and rights he has defending down to a science. I would recommend this attorney to anyone seeking DWI defense in the entire state of Wisconsin and I appreciate his efforts for me and my family more than I ever could of dreamed. Andrew Mishlove is not just an attorney, but a friend because he takes all cases as if it were his own flesh and blood he is defending.

Lawyer Comment: This case was won because the prosecution was unable to show that the blood was correctly drawn by a qualified person.

Shawano DUI
Posted by: griemer, 2009-08-03

Client Review: Attorney Mishlove handled my case extremely well. Shawano County has a definite reputation as not being "pro defendant", especially in DUI cases. Most lawyers will not even consider taking cases in this county and if they do, they feel they have lost before the case even starts. Plea bargains are virtually non-existent. Attorney Mishlove was able to win my case when against very high odds. Attorney Mishlove's knowledge of DUI laws was evident throughout the whole process. His extensive knowledge of sobriety tests, test guidelines, laws, and administration of the tests was clearly demonstrated, and quite crucial in my case. His courtroom presence, delivery, and cross examination was incredible, and resulted in me winning my case. Attorney Mishlove's staff is A1 and always provided me with assistance and guidance, and put me in touch with Attorney Mishlove whenever I requested.

Lawyer Comment: This was a blood test case, where we believed that the field sobriety tests and the blood test were improperly done.  The prosecution would not budge, so we went to a jury trial.  The verdict was NOT GUILTY on all counts.

Minor DUI
Posted by: anonymous, 2009-08-03

Client Review: Extremely knowledgeable on Case law and immediately responsive to questions via email and or phone. I am also an attorney in another state and have never dealt with any attorney of his stature. He does not offer false hope nor is he negative. Andrew is extremely matter of fact and the go to guy for DUI law defense in Wisconsin.

Lawyer's Comment:  A successful appeal in this case established that entrapment is a proper defense in an OWI case.
