an owi or serious traffic charge can put your driving privileges & your future at risk

For many people, an OWI arrest is their first experience with the legal system. It can also create immediate questions: Can I still drive? What happens to my license? Do I need an ignition interlock device? What happens at my first court appearance? Can the evidence against me be challenged?

Wisconsin OWI and traffic laws can be complicated, and the consequences depend heavily on the circumstances of the individual case.

Attorney Nicholas Weege represents individuals facing OWI and traffic-related matters throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha, and surrounding communities. He helps clients understand the charges against them, the potential consequences, and the options available for moving forward.

Wisconsin OWI Defense

An OWI case may involve alcohol, controlled substances, prescription medications, or other drugs that allegedly impaired a person’s ability to operate a vehicle. The circumstances of the arrest, prior OWI history, test results, and other factors can significantly affect the potential consequences.

An OWI case can also involve issues beyond the courtroom, including driver’s license suspension or revocation, ignition interlock requirements, alcohol or drug assessment, and eligibility for an occupational license.

Attorney Weege reviews the complete circumstances surrounding an OWI arrest rather than focusing only on a breath or blood test result. Understanding how the investigation occurred and how the evidence was obtained is an important part of evaluating the case.

 If you have been arrested for OWI, contact Attorney Weege at 262-399-7258 to discuss your case and the next steps.

what can be reviewed in an owi case?

An OWI arrest does not mean that every aspect of the government’s case is beyond challenge. Depending on the circumstances, an OWI defense may require examination of:

• The reason law enforcement stopped the vehicle
• The officer’s observations and investigation
• Field sobriety testing
• Breath, blood, or urine testing
• The procedures used to obtain chemical test evidence
• Whether constitutional and procedural requirements were followed
• Video evidence from squad cars or body-worn cameras
• Statements allegedly made during the investigation
• Prior OWI history and how it affects the current case

Attorney Weege evaluates the available evidence and identifies legal or factual issues that may affect the case.

Every OWI case is different. Contact Attorney Weege at 262-399-7258 to discuss the circumstances of your arrest and the evidence that may need to be reviewed.

serious traffic offenses

Traffic-related legal problems are not limited to OWI. Some driving offenses can result in significant fines, demerit points, loss of driving privileges, or criminal charges.

Attorney Weege can assist clients with serious traffic and driving-related matters, including operating after revocation or suspension, reckless driving, and other traffic offenses where the consequences justify legal representation.

For clients who depend on driving for work, school, family responsibilities, or daily life, protecting driving privileges can be an important part of addressing the case.

After an oWI arrest

The period immediately following an OWI arrest can involve both court proceedings and driver’s license issues. Some matters may also involve deadlines that arise before the criminal or traffic case is ultimately resolved.

Speaking with an attorney early allows you to understand what documents you received, whether any deadlines apply, what may happen to your driving privileges, and what to expect at upcoming court appearances.

Attorney Weege explains the process in straightforward terms and helps clients make informed decisions at each stage of the case.
