Protecting Your Rights Against Serious Criminal Allegations

Whether you are facing a minor misdemeanor or a serious felony charge, navigating the Wisconsin justice system requires sophisticated and strategic defense. A conviction can result in severe penalties, including prison time, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record. Our law office represents clients across the Fox Valley in a broad range of criminal matters, including:

• Felony offenses: Homicide, drug trafficking, computer crimes, and grand theft.
• Misdemeanor charges: Domestic violence, simple possession, battery, and disorderly conduct.
• Juvenile delinquency: Helping young individuals protect their future through deferred adjudications and expungements.
• White-collar crimes: Financial fraud, embezzlement, conspiracy, and employee theft.

We work tirelessly to analyze police reports, challenge unlawful searches, and identify constitutional violations. Our ultimate goal is to achieve dismissals, reduced charges, or deferred agreements that keep your record clean.

Aggressive Defense for DUI and OWI Cases

Operating while intoxicated (OWI) is treated with extreme severity in Wisconsin. Even a first-offense OWI can lead to driver's license revocation, heavy fines, and the mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. Repeat offenses carry mandatory jail or prison sentences. At Priebe Law Office, LLC, we utilize robust legal strategies to defend against drunk driving allegations. We scrutinize every aspect of your traffic stop and arrest, asking critical questions:

• Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to pull you over"
• Were field sobriety tests administered in strict compliance with federal guidelines"
• Is the breathalyzer or blood test result scientifically reliable and properly calibrated"
• Did law enforcement violate your constitutional rights during or after your arrest"

By uncovering police errors and highlighting scientific inconsistencies, we fight to save your driver's license and minimize the consequences of an OWI charge.

Challenging Traffic Tickets and Protecting Your Driving Record

A traffic ticket may seem like a minor inconvenience, but accumulating points on your license can result in skyrocketing insurance premiums or administrative license suspension. If you have been cited for speeding, reckless driving, or operating while suspended, finding an attorney to negotiate on your behalf can save you time and money. We routinely represent commercial drivers and first-time offenders, working to reduce citations to non-moving violations that do not impact your record.
