Penalties for a Second OWI Offense

An OWI is defined as anyone operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .08% or more. If you are convicted of a second OWI offense in Appleton, WI, you can potentially face some steep penalties, which is why it is imperative to hire an attorney to defend you.

Here is a list of some of the penalties associated with a second OWI offense:

  • You may spend 5 days to 6 months in jail. If you had a passenger who was under 16 years of age at the time, the jail sentence may be doubled.
  • All of those who are convicted of an OWI must complete a substance abuse assessment.
  • Additionally, if convicted of a second OWI, you will have to pay a fine between $350 and $1,100. The fine you are ordered to pay will depend on your BAC.

Additionally, your license will be administratively suspended for 6 months. If convicted, a judge may order your license be revoked for 12 to 18 months, which can possibly run concurrently with your suspension.

If you are able to obtain a hardship license, which will allow you to drive to school, work, or for treatment purposes, a judge will order an ignition interlock device (IID) to be installed in your vehicle for at least a year.

As you can see, the penalties for a conviction can be quite severe, which is why hiring an attorney is essential.

    She made me feel I had someone in my corner who had my back.
        

    Very happy with choosing to go with Vanessa in my case, she helped me understand so many things that I had no idea about beforehand which helped me see the big picture and allow me to review all of my possible options and what to do in each scenario. When you are in the position I was in, understanding things takes a lot of un-needed pressure and worrying away. Vanessa was always professional but also had a human touch to her instead of just looking at me as another client. This meant a lot to me and made me feel I had someone in my corner who had my back. Thank you Vanessa for everything!

    She literally saved me THOUSANDS by hiring her.
        
    I was arrested for an OWI up in Green Bay. I was sleeping in my vehicle. I made the decision to hire Vanessa about 6 days before my initial court appearance. By far the best decision that I could have done. She was able to get the OWI changed to a disorderly since I wasn't driving and prosecution was not willing to completely let it go. SO MUCH BETTER THAN AN OWI even if it sounds like it isn't. Words cannot describe how amazing the call from Vanessa was to tell me the plea agreement. Thank you so much, best money I spent all year to keep my driving record clean, avoid aoda classes and in iid in my car. She literally saved me THOUSANDS by hiring her. Thank you! I will ALWAYS refer you to people who got an OWI!
