Fight My Drunk Driving

PIEL LAW OFFICE Attorney Walter Piel, Jr.

For the past 16 years, I have aggressively defended OWI and criminal cases throughout Wisconsin. My practice is statewide, focusing solely on drunk driving, criminal and traffic defense. Over the last 16 years, I have successfully defended hundreds of OWI cases. I have been the lead attorney on more than 100 OWI jury trials. 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. My 16 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 represenation of a qualified attorney in an OWI case.
