Misdemeanor Attorney Madison, WI

fThere is an unfortunate perception among many in the public that misdemeanor offenses are not a big deal. Nothing could be further from the truth. Misdemeanors may not be punished as harshly as felonies, but there is no such thing as a “just a misdemeanor”; all criminal charges are serious and require a skilled defense.

Advocating for the Accused in Wisconsin

Our attorneys understand that you are far more than the defendant in a misdemeanor case; you are a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, neighbor, and community member. We understand that your personal reputation and legal rights are on the line as you face misdemeanor charges, including:

Class A misdemeanors such as battery, theft, or criminal damage to property
Class B misdemeanors such as disorderly conduct
Class C misdemeanors such as drinking alcohol on public transportation
Class U misdemeanors such as second offense OWI

Depending on the severity of the charge – Class A misdemeanors are the most severe – penalties can include fines ranging from $500 to $1,000 and jail sentences of 30 to 90 days. The maximum sentence for a Class A misdemeanor is up to 9 months of jail. These are just the criminal penalties; the complications that come from having a criminal record can haunt you long after your sentence has been served and fines paid.

OWI

OWI is a technical and scientific area of law that requires an attorney to understand blood, breath and urine alcohol analysis. Mr. Zehawi’s bachelor of science degree in theoretical mathematics is a reflection of his passion for science.

Mr. Zehawi is a member of the National College for DUI Defense and has taught at their Serious Science Seminar at the Shimadzu Laboratory at the University of Texas-Arlington.

This seminar combines the study of hard science and hands-on experience preparing blood samples for chemical testing. Then, the program shifts to trial advocacy about the science.

When there are many OWI attorneys to choose from, choose one that understands OWI science.
