OWI Penalties in Monroe, Wisconsin
Wisconsin OWI penalties increase with each offense:
• 1st Offense: Civil forfeiture, license revocation (6-9 months), and possible IID installation
• 2nd Offense: Mandatory jail time (5 days to 6 months), license revocation (12-18 months), IID required
• 3rd Offense: Jail (45 days to 1 year), longer revocation, and increased fines
• Felony OWI (4th and higher): Mandatory prison (5th and higher), permanent license revocation (after 4th), and felony record
Green County follows the 5th Judicial District OWI Sentencing Guidelines, which influence the outcome even when statutory minimums are met. We make sure that all mitigating factors in your case are brought forward to seek the most favorable resolution.
Administrative Review Hearings
If your license was suspended due to a failed breath or blood test, we can request an administrative review hearing. These hearings allow us to:
• Get an early look at reports
• Question the officer under oath
• Preserve testimony that can be used later in your defense
Even if you ultimately face trial, this early hearing gives us a strategic advantage.
Green County OWI Charges
Experienced Green County Drunk Driving Lawyers
With years of trial experience across Southern Wisconsin, our attorneys know what it takes to win OWI cases. We don’t just seek plea deals—we pursue every available motion to suppress, challenge field sobriety tests, and review body camera footage and breath/blood test records.
Whether your case hinges on a roadside stop, chemical test results, or other evidence, we bring an analytical, trial-ready approach to your defense.
Defense Strategies We May Use in Your Case
• Improper Traffic Stop: Was there reasonable suspicion for the initial stop?
• Unreliable Field Sobriety Tests: Were the tests administered correctly? Are results valid?
• BAC Test Challenges: Was the breathalyzer calibrated? Were procedures followed?
• Medical or Health Defenses: Were any conditions mistaken for intoxication?
• Suppression of Evidence: Were your rights violated during arrest or testing?
Each defense begins with a thorough case review and evidence request, including body cam footage and machine maintenance records. Our goal is to win—and if we can’t win outright, to minimize penalties dramatically.

Frequently Asked Questions - OWI Charges in Monroe, WI
Most OWI cases are prosecuted in Green County Circuit Court in Monroe. However, first offense OWI citations may be handled in a municipal court, depending on where you were stopped.
Immediately. Time-sensitive hearings and evidence requests can be missed if you delay. Contacting a lawyer early gives you the best chance of building a strong defense.
Yes. OWI convictions come with mandatory license revocation. We can help you apply for an occupational license, which allows limited driving for work, school, and household needs.
No. A first offense OWI is considered a civil violation, not a criminal offense, unless there was injury or a minor in the vehicle. However, the penalties are still serious and include license revocation and an IID requirement (if BAC was 0.15 or higher).
Green County does not typically allow electronic monitoring or house arrest until at least half of your sentence is served. A skilled attorney can help reduce the overall sentence or negotiate Huber (work release) when available.
