Wisconsin’s 1st Offense OWI Consequences

Your first offense operating while intoxicated arrest may be a ticket, but it is not a joke. You are facing up to a 9-month loss of your drivers license, a year of an ignition interlock device to blow into before you can even start your car AND while driving, mandatory high risk auto insurance, occupational license restrictions, and of course the thousands of dollars that all of it will cost you for years to come. It also stays on your record forever. 6 points and a fine? Think again. That is why when cops get arrested for their own 1st offense DUI, they hire Grieve Law, year after year.
