This was a much more favorable outcome for the client because a first offense is not considered a criminal matter in Wisconsin.

Fortunately, our attorneys were able to present enough convincing evidence to the court to pursue an appeal and favorable outcome for the client.

Fortunately, the defense team was able to help her obtain resentencing, which resulted in her immediate release from jail and probation instead of prison time.
Result: Immediate Release from Jail and Probation

Getting a fair day in court is the right of every citizen in the state of Wisconsin. Unfortunately, sometimes the prosecution will do anything and everything that they can to convince a jury that someone is guilty of a crime.
This includes improperly admitting evidence into court. The firm was able to successfully obtain an appeal and new trial date due to the fact that the prosecution presented portable breath test refusal evidence to the jury in a way that implied guilt on behalf of the client.
Fortunately, client won the appeal and a new trial.
Result: Favorable Appeal and New Trial
