Choosing a criminal defense lawyer in the Madison area
If you've been arrested or charged, talk to a lawyer before talking to investigators. You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel.
In Wisconsin, a first-offense OWI is usually a civil violation rather than a crime, though it still carries license, fine and insurance consequences. It can be criminal from the start if a child under 16 was in the vehicle or someone was hurt, and repeat offenses are criminal. A lawyer who regularly handles Dane County OWI cases can explain the realistic outcomes.
If you can't afford a lawyer, you may qualify for representation through the Wisconsin State Public Defender, which applies its own financial test. For private counsel, ask whether they charge a flat fee or by the hour, and what happens to the fee if the case goes to trial.
