Traffic Crimes

Traffic crimes under Wisconsin law include moving violations, reckless driving, driving without a license, hit-and-run, fleeing or eluding law enforcement, and other serious non-OWI driving offenses. Some traffic offenses are misdemeanors but others can be felonies depending on factors such as injury, prior record, or use of a vehicle in another felony. A good defense works to challenge the evidence (speed measurements, officer observations, radar or lasers, stop legitimacy), and may negotiate to reduce or dismiss charges. Protecting driving records, insurance rates, and license status is often a key concern. For those charged in southeastern Wisconsin, experienced legal defense can mitigate penalties and preserve mobility and freedom.
