If you’ve been charged with an OWI, your license, your record, and your ability to work may all be at risk, sometimes within days.
Piel Law Office helps drivers across Wisconsin challenge OWI charges by closely examining how the stop, field sobriety tests, and chemical testing were handled to identify issues that can affect the case.
Most people don’t know what actually matters after an OWI arrest
After an arrest, it’s easy to assume everything comes down to the test result. In reality, OWI cases are built on a series of decisions, how the stop happened, how tests were conducted, and how evidence was handled.
Most drivers don’t know what can be challenged or what to look for. They’re left making decisions quickly, often with deadlines already running, without a clear understanding of their options.
Issues can come from parts of the process people don’t usually question:
Review the arrest
We start by looking at what led to the stop, what happened during the investigation, and what concerns need immediate attention.
Examine the evidence
Reports, video, field sobriety testing, and chemical test procedures are reviewed closely for mistakes, gaps, or legal issues.
Identify defenses and deadlines
We look for problems that may affect the case and identify any deadlines that could impact your driving privileges.
Explain your options
You’ll get a clearer picture of what can be challenged, what to expect, and what steps make sense moving forward.

From hearings to court proceedings, the case is handled based on the facts, the evidence, and the strongest available defense strategy.
