But hiring a DUI Attorney is a no brainer
OWI Laws in Wisconsin are Tricky. A DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) is a serious crime in Wisconsin and there are many factors you should know about as they may impact your conviction. But the good news is that while a DUI charge can be a strain on your life, there’s no need to panic because not all DWI charges lead to convictions. That’s why it is so crucial to speak with the best Wisconsin DUI defense lawyer as your first step .
Here are common OWI questions and answers that you’ll find helpful:
Did the police officer have a rightful reason to make a traffic stop?
If not, then your DUI Lawyer will be able to dispute the stop by gathering evidence like the blood or breath test plus the field sobriety tests, suppressed.
Did the police officer have probable cause to inspire your traffic stop?
Your OWI Criminal Defense Lawyer will investigate what caused the traffic stop and if it warranted a probable cause to administer the PBT which led to your arrest. If the police officer lacked evidence, this could lead to your evidence getting suppressed.
How did the police manage the field sobriety test?
Police in Wisconsin train their officers to conduct three field sobriety tests. If there is just one flaw in the way your One Leg Stand, Horizontal Gaze, Nystagmus or the Walk and Turn was conducted, your DWI defense attorney can use those details to help lighten your conviction.
Was the driver’s BAC (Blood Alcohol Curve) .08 or higher?
If so, your DUI defense lawyer can argue that the machines or laboratories malfunctioned and made mistakes. A careful review of the records can lead to convincing arguments for a jury.
What is the Blood Alcohol Curve Defense?
Blood Alcohol Curve defense is based on the absorption rate of alcohol and the time of the driver’s last drink. Your DUI lawyer can argue that at the time of operation your blood alcohol level was lower than a .08. Similar to disputing the correctness of the chemical test defense.
Sometimes the law enforcement doesn’t even observe the driver operating the car in question. They may have found the driver asleep or passed out on the side of the road. In situations like these, the blood or breath test may not bear the same weight. This is the type of detail an experienced DWI defense attorney will use to help your case.
