In the realm of DUI charges, the 5th DUI in Wisconsin is a game changer. A 5th OWI Wisconsin or higher is automatically charged as a felony DUI, meaning that if you are convicted, you will permanently lose your right to possess a firearm.
5th OWI Wisconsin Penalty
The penalties include a minimum of six months in jail and quite possibly a lengthy prison sentence. Many counties have mandatory prison requirements regardless of the facts of your case. To worsen matters, driving privileges will be revoked for two to three years and fines of $2,000 are doubled, tripled or quadrupled if the prohibited alcohol concentration is .17 or higher. If a serious injury or death is involved in your DUI case, a lengthy prison sentence is a real possibility, even if it is your first offense.
As you seek out representation, you want a Wisconsin felony DUI attorney with tangible results, not years of experience in "handling" cases. You want an attorney who possesses a track record of numerous and recent acquittals at trial, not a lawyer who boasts various memberships and other meaningless qualifications.
