What sets your firm apart from other OWI firms in Wisconsin?
Attorney Tracey Wood is among the most experienced OWI defense attorneys in the state of Wisconsin. Her impressive resume of case wins is the result of extensive training and a dedication to her practice. Ms. Wood was the first Regent from Wisconsin to be appointed to the National College for DUI Defense and is the first attorney in Wisconsin to become a certified field sobriety test instructor. She often teaches other lawyers at the state level and nationally how to handle field sobriety cases. Ms. Wood and the firm scored another first with a successful Collateral Attack case in 1995, challenging a previous ruling against a client who was not represented in court. This win and the subsequent article that Ms. Wood published on the case remains one of the most effective forms of defense for many attorneys. It is her depth of knowledge as well as her breadth of experience that sets Tracey Wood apart from other OWI defense attorneys.

What are the penalties for first offense OWI in Wisconsin?
Even a first-offense OWI is considered a serious infraction in the State of Wisconsin. As such, a first-offense conviction is riddled with costly consequences. If you are convicted, you face a license revocation of six to nine months, and a fine ranging from $150 to $300. If your blood alcohol content was above 0.15%, you will be required to have an ignition interlock device, or IID, installed in your vehicle, at your expense, for up to one year. If there was a minor under the age of 16 in the vehicle at the time of your arrest, you may be sentenced to a jail term of five to six months. You will also be responsible for a fine ranging from $350 to $1,100 and will be required to have an IID installed in your vehicle for 12 to 18 months. If your OWI resulted in an injury of another person, your fines will range from $300 to $25,000 and you can face up to 12.5 years in prison. If the OWI resulted in death, you will be responsible for a fine of up to $100,000 and may spend up to 25 years in prison. A first-offense OWI will permanently remain on your driving record. If you are facing a first-offense OWI, working with an experienced OWI defense attorney is one of the best things you can do to protect your rights.
