Did You Get Notice of Intent to Suspend/Revoke? You Have 10 Days to Appeal: Call Us Right Now
If your blood alcohol content (BAC) was above the legal limit at the time of the arrest, you will receive a form called a Notice of Intent to Suspend Operating Privileges. You have just 10 days to request an appeal of your license suspension once you receive this form. It is a certainty that your license will be suspended if you miss the 10-day window, even while your case is pending.
If you refuse all blood or breath alcohol testing outright at the scene of the arrest, the responding officer will issue a form called a Notice of Intent to Revoke Operating Privileges. You also have just 10 days to request an appeal once you receive the form, and it is a certainty that you will lose your license if you miss this window, even if your case is pending.
However, if this is your first OWI/DUI offense as a commercial driver's license (CDL) holder, Andrew Mishlove and Lauren Stuckert can help you with that appeal, starting right now. Wisconsin's top DUI defense specialists can work to save your personal license, your CDL, and even have your charges reduced or dropped entirely.
Success Story:
John's Administrative
Suspension Proceeding
How Andrew Mishlove Saved
a Professional Driver's License
John received a Notice of Intent to Suspend Operating Privileges due to a blood test result over the legal limit. Because John drives for a living, potential license suspension was especially serious. Thankfully, John reached out to Andrew Mishlove as soon as he could, and Andrew got to work preparing for the appeal.
In a hearing held before an examiner for the Department of Motor Vehicles, Andrew Mishlove successfully demonstrated that the government had failed to show probable cause to believe that John was driving poorly in the first place. The action to suspend John's license was dismissed.

I can not be happier with my decision to hire on Mishlove & Stuckert to represent me for a felony DUI in 2019. While I was represented by Lauren Stuckert, I was also assisted by Andrew Mishlove as well as their hardworking paralegal staff in all the needs that arose during the process. Lauren was genuinely caring about the aspects of my case as well as the issues that were going on in my life. I would not let anyone I care about facing such a situation hire any firm but them.

I owe a great debt of thanks to Andrew Mishlove. Andrew is an expert in OWI defense. He is incredibly well informed and prepared before a trial. He is approachable, a professional, and serious. Finally, Andrew was always a gentleman in and out of court. He was well liked by the judges, the prosecutor and most importantly, the jury. His courtroom demeaner and ethics were unflappable. I highly recommend Andrew Mishlove. He is worth whatever your future is worth.

Lauren was reassuring and professional every step of the way. It was clear that she placed a high priority on getting my case resolved. When my case was finally called to trial, I can’t express how impressed I was. Without going into details, she knew when to ask what questions and when to raise what issues. She was a shark when she needed to be while always remaining composed. If you’re searching for an attorney for an OWI case, stop looking. Lauren will fight for you every step of the way and you will get the best possible outcome. I know I certainly did.

Your Career
If you’re arrested for a first offense OWI/DUI as a CDL holder in Wisconsin, you could lose your CDL for one year, or three years if you were hauling hazardous materials at the time of the arrest. You’re subject to lifetime CDL disqualification upon a second OWI/DUI conviction.
Your Reputation
It’s hard to find work as a driver with an OWI/DUI on your record. Even if you’re no longer able to drive professionally, you may still be required to have an ignition interlock device (IID) installed in each of your personal vehicles upon an OWI/DUI conviction. You’ll have to prove your sobriety any time you want to use your vehicle.
Your Freedom
You could go to jail if you injured someone or if there was a minor present in the vehicle at the time of the OWI/DUI if it’s your first offense. Second offenses carry a mandatory minimum jail sentence of five days to six months. Our attorneys can help you protect your ability to be with and care for your family.

Success Story:
Showing Your Side
Mishlove & Stuckert Call Inconsistencies to Light
An anonymous citizen called in to report B., a truck driver, for driving erratically on the freeway. A deputy followed up on this dubious report by following B. for miles. Though the deputy did not observe B. driving erratically, he was driving seven miles per hour over the speed limit.
When the deputy pulled B. over, B. reportedly smelled of aftershave and spoke with an accent. B. was arrested for drunk driving and refused a breath alcohol test. His blood was forcibly drawn and returned a result of .14%. He was facing a jail sentence and the loss of his career.
Andrew Mishlove argued that the deputy only had probable cause to detain B. for speeding. Video from the squad car that showed B. driving normally for about 4 miles supported the argument, making all the other evidence inadmissible. B. avoided jail time and license revocation, saving his career.
