Drunk Driving arrestsBeing arrested for drunk driving can be a terrifying experience, particularly if you have never been arrested previously. If that is the case in your situation, then this was your very first drunk driving arrest, which means it is your first OWI offense. The good news is that a first drunk driving offense is not a crime in the state of Wisconsin, and if you contact Attorney Tracey Wood right away, she may well be able to help you in the most beneficial manner possible - by getting the OWI charge dismissed. The bad news is that you must act immediately. If you wait until your court hearing to take care of your driver's license, you might lose your license. If you wait too long before contacting Attorney Wood, time may have eliminated the possibilities that would otherwise be available to you to have the charges dismissed. But either way, the situation is not hopeless, nor as bleak as it may first appear when reading information about drunk driving laws. Wisconsin drunk driving laws are tough, that is true. But police stops are not without error. Even very seasoned police officers make mistakes during a police stop when they quickly jump to the conclusion that a driver is driving while under the influence of an intoxicant. When those types of mistakes occur, the police violate your Fourth Amendment Rights to be free from unreasonable search and seizures. (An arrest is a seizure). If this is a subsequent OWI charge for you, then it is even more important to speak with an attorney right away. Whether it is arguing against prior convictions or stopping the inclusion of illegal evidence in a trial, an attorney can do nothing for you until the attorney is hired and recorded as the attorney of record.
