Taking Your Wisconsin DUI to Trial

The process of court proceedings for a Wisconsin DUI charge begins with a “not guilty” plea, gathering relevant information to assist your case, and ultimately making the decision of accepting a plea offer from the State or continuing with an aggressive defense at trial. Many attorneys suggest accepting the plea offer because they are not fully prepared for trial processes. Wisconsin DUI Defense Attorney Nathan Dineen has experience with trial process, cross-examining witnesses, and obtaining expert testimony.

Wisconsin OWI Trial Process

A trial is a hearing held before a Judge and/or a jury. In cases with a jury, the selection of a jury is important. The facts of the Wisconsin DUI case are argued between the prosecuting attorney and Wisconsin DUI Defense Attorney Nathan J. Dineen. Testimony is heard from witnesses (i.e. the arresting police officers, experts, yourself if necessary, etc.). A not guilty verdict means the Wisconsin drunk driving charge is removed from your record. If you were to agree with the plea offer, the Wisconsin DUI remains on your record for life.
