Wisconsin Authorities Cracking Down on Drunk Driving

Law enforcement officers everywhere have increased their resources to keep intoxicated drivers off the road. ​This includes arresting drivers who have had only a few drinks and drivers who have taken prescribed medications. 

Unfortunately, an arrest for OWI can result in incarceration, a criminal conviction and the loss of your driver’s license. If you have been arrested for OWI in Sheboygan, Manitowoc, or any other County in Wisconsin, our attorneys are ready to defend you.

At Kaehne & Barrette Criminal Defense Firm, we provide strong defense against a wide range of criminal charges throughout the area.

What Counts as Drunk Driving in Wisconsin?

For a “per se” violation, meaning the blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit, you have to have a BAC of .08 percent or more.

However, drivers with three or more prior Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) convictions, have a lower limit: they cannot operate a motor vehicle if their BAC is greater than 0.02. 

What Are the Consequences of an OWI Conviction?

There are various levels of consequence, depending on a number of factors, including whether you have been convicted of OWI before, how much alcohol you had in your system, and other factors.

Even for a first offense, you could lose your license for up to nine months, pay a fine of up to $300 and, if the BAC was high enough, be forced to use an ignition interlock device (IID).

In the worst-case scenario, if you are facing your 10th offense or more, you will be facing a felony charge, which could result in more than 12 years in prison, $25,000 in fines, a three-year revocation of your license, and up to three years of IID.

You Need a Strong Defense Against OWI Charges

Even if you are facing your first charge, you need to mount a strong defense, because the ramifications of a conviction could haunt you for the rest of your life.

Both attorney Kaehne and Barrette are very professional and work very hard for their clients. We had attorney Kaehne working a case many thought we would lose, and he fought very hard for us. He went above and beyond and was always willing to answer questions and was very straight forward with us. We would recommend him and attorney Barrette to anyone. If we ever need representation again, they are the first ones we would call.
