OWI/DUI ATTORNEYS IN WAUSAU, WISCONSIN
In addition to losing your license, spending time in prison and being crippled by fines and fees, DUI/OWI convictions in Wisconsin carry collateral consequences. If you are a resident of the Wausau area, you should make every effort to fight a DUI/OWI charge. A conviction may impact your ability to get a job, sign a lease or drive a vehicle.
The penalties for a DUI/OWI consequence will depend on how many prior convictions you have on your record. For instance, as a first-time offender, you will not receive jail time but may be forced to pay hundreds of dollars in fines and fees and may lose your license for up to nine months. In contrast, if you are facing a third DUI/OWI you are looking at increased fines, up to one year in jail and potential license suspensions of up to three years.
It is vital that you contact an attorney and challenge every single DUI/OWI charge so that you can avoid facing steep and increasing penalties if you are again pulled over. We will protect your constitutional rights.
