What consequences do you face if you are found guilty? If you face drunk driving charges in Neenah, Appleton or elsewhere in Wisconsin, working with an experienced attorney can be key to choosing the correct course of action and to defend yourself.

At Hammett, Bellin & Oswald, LLC, we understand that charges of operating while intoxicated (OWI) are often the first criminal charges that our clients face.

The Consequences Of A Drunk Driving Conviction

Wisconsin has the highest rate of driving under the influence (DUI) in the United States according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and these charges are taken very seriously. The consequences of being convicted of drunk driving in this state can include:

  • Fines and fees, which can total up to $100,000 depending on the specific charges
  • Suspension or revocation of your license
  • Confinement in jail or prison
  • Required sobriety programs or use of an ignition interlock device (IID)
