DUI Defense Tailored to You
In Wisconsin, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is usually referred to as Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), and OWI charges are taken very seriously. If you’re facing OWI allegations for driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any restricted controlled substance, you could face license suspension, fines, community service, or even jail time. These charges carry significant consequences, whether the incident happened in Wisconsin or another state.

Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?
Under Wisconsin law, every licensed driver in the state has given implied consent to alcohol and drug testing if a police officer has probable cause to believe you are operating while intoxicated. This may include requests to perform field sobriety tests like standing on one leg, walking a straight line, reciting the alphabet, or submitting to a breathalyzer.
You do have the right to refuse these tests, but be aware that doing so can lead to an immediate suspension of your driver’s license under Wisconsin law. If you choose to refuse testing, it’s important to reach out to one of our knowledgeable attorneys as soon as you can. Our legal team can often step in to help protect your rights and challenge the suspension where possible.
If you’ve already submitted to testing, there are still pathways to challenging those results. There are circumstances where test results—whether from breathalyzers, blood tests, or urinalysis—can be called into question due to issues like faulty equipment calibration, human error, weather conditions, or medical factors. Our expert criminal defense attorneys are ready to review the details of your case and help you understand your options.
Can Past DUI Convictions be Expunged or Sealed?
Depending on the circumstances of your conviction, our team can review your case to determine if you qualify to have your DUI or OWI records sealed or expunged under Wisconsin state law. If you do qualify, it can be well worth pursuing a petition to the court for sealing or expungement.
When records are sealed, they are hidden from public view, and when expunged, they may be completely removed—meaning creditors, employers, and others won’t be able to see them. If you have a prior DUI or OWI conviction, our legal team at Eastbridge can help guide you through the process. Schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys today.
