Get A Former Prosecutor On Your Side After Drunk Driving Charges

If you have been charged with drunk driving or you were stopped on I-94 for suspected drunk driving, you may be tempted to handle your own defense. However, a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) can lead to heavy fines, the loss of your driver’s license and perhaps even jail time.

If you or your child has been charged with DUI, put an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side. At the Thole Law Firm, attorney Eric Thole represents clients in Washington County and the surrounding areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin facing serious criminal charges. He understands what’s at stake – and he will put his experience to work to protect your rights and future.

The Consequences Of A DUI Conviction

In addition to heavy fines and possible jail, you could lose your license for up to one year.

Blowing over a .16 BAC, having a prior DUI offense on your record or having minors in your car at the time of arrest simply increase the penalties you face, which could include a mandatory minimum of 30 days in jail, installation of an ignition interlock device (at your expense) and collateral consequences such as higher insurance premiums.

If this is your second, third or subsequent DUI, the penalties are even steeper.

Washington County DUI defense attorney Eric Thole takes immediate action to defend your rights against drunk driving charges, legally called operating under the influence or operating while intoxicated (OUI/OWI) in Wisconsin. He will examine all evidence in your case to determine if:

  • Police had probable cause to stop you in the first place
  • Any field sobriety tests that were conducted were executed properly
  • The Breathalyzer (if you took it) was properly calibrated at the time you took it

All of these factors can be important in having your charges reduced or dismissed.
