wisconsin drunk driving defenses

defenses to oWI charges

OWI stands for operating while under the influence. An OWI does not necessarily mean that police thought you were drunk - intoxicated by alcohol. A person can be charged with an OWI for being drunk to the point of inebriation, under the influence of drugs, or even while under the influence of a prescription. A person can also be charged with an OWI even if they are not under the influence of anything. Being charged does not mean that you are guilty, and in some cases, it does not even mean that police had a valid legal reason for stopping you - called probable cause.

Attorneys are your best defense

The best defense is a good offense, which means that you need your attorney involved in your case as early as possible. In some cases, Attorney Bednarek has been able to prove both blood tests at the hospital and breath tests in the field to be invalid, even in subsequent third or fourth offenses. 

Remember: Admit to nothing, ask for your attorney, and never feel as though you have been convicted of drunk driving simply because you were arrested. Tests are often invalid. Police often make mistakes when they arrest a person for drunk driving. Drunk driving must be proven. And most importaly, you are innocent unless proven guilty.
