When Experience Matters, Call Now for FREE consultation
Since 1994, I have aggressively defended OWI and criminal cases throughout Wisconsin. My practice is statewide, focusing solely on drunk driving, criminal and traffic defense. I have successfully defended hundreds of OWI cases. I have been the lead attorney on more than 1000 OWI jury trials. My years of experience practicing in Wisconsin and my former law clerk experience have given me a unique perspective from both sides of the aisle. I fully understand the necessity of having the representation of a qualified attorney in an OWI case.
Prior to working in Wisconsin, I was a law clerk for the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. My job was to assist in implementing the OWI implied consent law in Nebraska, and I worked with the administrative law judges in conducting administrative OWI hearings.

- Q. Is it possible to get an Ignition Interlock device removed early?
- A: The Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles will not allow an Ignition Interlock Device to be removed early. Based on your driving record and the time period imposed by the Court, the DMV will enforce and monitor the time period you are required to have the device in your vehicle and the time period you are restricted to an Ignition Interlock Device in any vehicle. If you have further questions, you can visit my website at www.piellawoffice.com.
- Q. I got an OWI and am underage. Will I lose my license? I live in Wisconsin.
- A: The revocation will depend specifically on how you were charged. There are mitigating penalties if you are charged with an “underage” OWI as opposed to an “adult” OWI, for lack of better terms. You should call an attorney. Have your citation available. I do provide free consultations, if you would like to give me a call feel free (877) 384-1384. My practice extends to all counties in the state of Wisconsin.
- Q. How do I find a lawyer that can help me with my license and 3rd owi. When I live in Wisconsin but had an IL license?
- A: You will need an attorney who can help you navigate Illinois separate from your new charges in Wisconsin. My office would be happy to provide a consultation for the Wisconsin charges. We have an attorney we can refer you to to consult in illinois that also practices in DUI matters and working with those who need to navigate through the Illinois DOT and reinstatement/revocation issues. Feel free to give me a call (877) 384-1384.
