This little primer is not intended to be a manual of how to handle a drunk driving case, much less a manual on the technology and pitfalls of breath and blood tests in Wisconsin.

A skilled attorney in Wisconsin can often demonstrate the failure of the police to perform a proper observation period, by making the police testify as to the exact timing all the completion of their various tasks, including the police reports, setting up the breath test machine, communications with other officers, etc.

That is just one example of the many different kinds of errors to which breath, blood and urine testing are subject. If you believe you were sober, but failed the test, there is a strong possibility that the test was false. Detailed analysis and study of the testing process are a necessity in each Wisconsin individual case.

Most people, including some lawyers who should know better, believe that if you are stopped for drunk driving and fail a breath or blood test, that you don’t have a chance to win in Wisconsin. Certainly, drunk driving cases are difficult to win. In my twenty-six years as a trial lawyer I have fought and won many of them (and lost a few, too), including cases with very high blood or breath test results in Wisconsin. Winning a drunk driving case requires a careful investigation of all of the facts, not just the facts that the police have reported. In order to analyze a case, I have developed what I call The Six Key Factors in a drunk driving case. These are the factors that I consider in fighting a drunk driving case in Wisconsin.

When a policeman makes a drunk driving arrest, he is required to fill out various reports detailing his observations in Wisconsin. In drunk driving cases these forms may be fill-in-the-blank, or they may be in the form of a narrative.
