We recently handled a wrongful death case that was turned down by a large personal injury law firm that told the client there was no insurance available. We found insurance and obtained more than $400,000 for the family that lost its father.
We settled a soft tissue intersection collision case in Oshkosh for over $600,000 and greatly improved our client's standard of living.
Due to safer cars, most injury claims don't involve fractures or lacerations, but do result in strains, sprains, bruises, and other soft tissue injuries which cause arm, let, back and neck pain. We settle dozens of these cases every year, and are experienced in working with your doctor or chiropractor to make sure your pain is documented and treated to maximize your recovery.
In Fond du Lac, we were successful in getting an OWI charge reduced to inattentive driving when we discovered the arresting officer failed to follow the rules for conducting a breath test, along with other errors he made in procedure.
We recently were able to resolve a criminal "Cause Injury by Operating While Intoxicated" case by proving that the persons who claimed injury were not really injured, so instead of going to jail for this charge, our client received a fine and short loss of license, and had the rest of her tickets dismissed. She was also able to get an immediate occupational license.
We recently had a client charged with a criminal misdemeanor bail jump charge, along with an OAR (operating after revocation) 4th offense charge, both of which involved many months of jail, loss of license, and fines exceeding $10,000. We were able to resolve his claim for a $50 fine, and avoided a traffic conviction as well, which would have resulted in HTO status and a 5 year revocation for him.
We have helped many clients who were convicted of OWI and who were subject to Wisconsin's requirement for ignition interlock devices. In one case, our client had 6 vehicles, and we were able to exempt all but one from the requirement. In another, the judge refused to sign an exemption for the wife and son's vehicles, so we found another way so the client did not have to install interlocks in 3 different vehicles.
In Oshkosh, we obtained dismissal of an OWI charge when we proved the arresting police officer was not in the location he claimed to have been in when he saw the defendant's car fail to stop for a red light, and proved with aerial photos the officer could not even have seen defendant's car from his actual location.
We were recently successful in reopening an old traffic conviction for a woman who became a habitual traffic offender -our work allowed her to void her 5 year revocation and get her regular driver's license back.
Every year we keep many people out of jail or prison by exploring alternatives to conviction, including the Safe Streets Options Program, informal counseling programs, Volunteers in Probation, deferred prosecution agreements, and the Community Justice Program. Our clients who participate in these usually avoid jail time and avoid having convictions on their record.
We have been able to help dozens of Wisconsin drivers get their licenses restored after they reached habitual offender status (HTO) and were revoked for 5 years. In most of these cases, we were able to reopen older traffic convictions, eliminating the basis for the HTO status, and allowing them to legally drive again.
