Drunk Driving Information

Follow the Money

Wisconsin arrests over 37,000 citizens a year for drunk driving. Most are convicted. (That is, most choose not to fight the charge because it is very expensive to retain competent legal counsel.) This is BIG money. Since fines for first offenses are in the $700 range, the state collects over $26,000,000 annually in fines for OWI offenses. Where does all of this money go? Not to rehabilitation nor to accident victims. It's time that the authorities be held accountable for this money. You can help. Ask your state Senator or Assembly representative how the OWI fines are used.

More Money to Follow

To successfully defend one's self against the stacked OWI/BAC deck, you need to retain a competent attorney who specializes in OWI defense cases. Since the whole process is based on technicalities, you need someone who knows how to defend against these technicalities. Unfortunately for you, you will have to pay $5,000, $6,000, $8,000 or more to defend your case. Next to the prosecutors, officers and judges however (whose only goal is to convict and collect), these defense attorneys are angels...but still they are angels with their hands out looking for big bucks from you. Yes you, whose only crime is that you went out to enjoy yourself, legally consumed some adult beverages and committed the terrible offense of wanting to get yourself home afterwards. (You fiend! You subversive!)
