Dennis Michael Melowski

I will have to say chosing Dennis to represent me for my DUI case was one of the best things I have ever done. After not having any idea what to do after being arrested, I gave Dennis a call and after talking to him, he thought it sounded like there could be a chance he could do something for me. De...nnis went to work and found enough "issues" with what the arresting officer did wrong to convince the DA and assisstant DA to reduce my charge to Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. Needless to say, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome to my case; especially after a BAC over .15. Dennis and his partner Mr. Singh are definately top notch attorneys! They really changed my life! Thank you!

Dedicated. Committed. Knowledgeable. Personal. These are just a few of the words I would use to describe Dennis Melowski. Make no mistake, without his expertise, I would have been a person with a jail record, serving time in an environment in which I could not have existed. Ranked in the top of h...is field in Wisconsin and one of the top eight in the nation, this man should definitely be your choice for a lawyer! I am a retired family man in my late 60's, held a responsible work position for 40 years and had a spotless driving record. The day I was charged, I made a terrible mistake and I choose to drive while I was impaired. Facing a serious charge of OWI causing an injury, in addition to a BAC of over .15, I was stunned and devastated. We sought the help of a family member who was a lawyer. Understanding the severity of the consequences in the tough county where the incident occurred, he immediately suggested we retain the services of Dennis Melowski as he was the best man for the job. We did our research and scheduled an appointment. Upon meeting Dennis, we immediately felt confident in our choice. Dennis told us up front that we would have a tough battle as the injury in addition to the standard penalties for the OWI charge included me facing mandatory jail time. Dennis said our goal was to avoid the jail time associated with the charge. As our court dates continued, Dennis said that because of the tenuous nature of the case, he would advise not going to trial---we stood the chance of not avoiding jail time if we did indeed lose. Dennis was able to get the prosecutor to agree to a plea agreement that included the standard penalties for the OWI charge, but stayed the mandatory 60 days of jail time and instead added a one year probation period with absolute sobriety. We agreed to the terms of the plea to avoid the jail time. This agreement in itself was a victory as this county NEVER before has excluded jail time in this type of case. Prior to the sentencing, Dennis wrote an amazing letter to the judge voicing reasons and pleading for the probation itself to be reduced. On the day of sentencing, he pleaded my case and I as well gave a heartfelt statement to the court. The judge told me I was extremely lucky to have such a great lawyer on my side. He then reduced my sentence further and threw out the probationary period as well...a double victory. Dennis' reputation is well deserved. He has my highest respect not only as a lawyer but as a person. He is a dedicated to his clients, committed to seeking the best he can in the case and always available to answer each and every question you might have. In addition, he is simply a great person. There should be no doubt in your mind-if you want the best, Dennis Melowski is your man. I will long remember and thank Dennis for saving me and my family, allowing me to live a normal life.

I received 2 tickets in sheboygan at 2am in the morning. One for refusing the breathalyzer and I refused the bloodwork at the hospital, wich I was forced to take anyway. Me, being from out of state did'nt realize the serious trouble that I had just got into. Even if I beat the breathalyzer,the second... ticket was more serious than the first. I was pulled over because I had a front headlight out. I am very orderly and before the officer came to my window I had my license and registration ready along with the windows down.This was in july of 2012. I felt like I passed the sobriety test. I completed the whole thing including standing on 1 leg. The sarge said i failed and then told me about the blood test.i said no to that also,only to have to take it a couple of hours later at the hospital. I was a 1.0. I looked on the web and was very fortunate to have chosen Dennis Melowski. I never had to appear for 3 court sessions,untill I got a call from Dennis that I should come for a court date that was pretrial motions. Dennis had several good ones that he showed me. We went to court and the sarge and the states attorney were there. I play a lot of chess and can even beat lower levels of computers at chess. What I saw Dennis unfold was a master at his art of his dui defense. He was at least 7 or 8 moves ahead of the sarge and the states attorney. He went thru the whole case of my arrest from the beginning to end and even got the officer to admit on the stand that he was going to arrest me for dui,even before I actually was. I am 63 years old and Dennis even had statistics showing that some senior citizens can't pass that test sober. When the officer seen me with a headlight out he pulled a U turn and came right around me and flipped the lights on, so the police's own video showed no swerving and I pulled over to the curve without hitting it or too far from it.The officer also said I stumbled when I got out, wich was a clear lie as Dennis was playing the officer's camcorder video to all of us. After Dennis was done presenting the 3 pretrial motions and the da was done,the Judge found there was no probable cause to pull me out of the vehicle for the breath or blood work. The officer never even wrote a ticket for the headlight being out, so there I was,scott free ! No war whoops or fist pumping by me tho, wich was good, because I soon found out the da could still have it reviewed or possibly another judge look at the case in the next 20 days. Dennis had blew there case up so well that we never heard a word from the states attorney again. Dennis also had a stategy for if things did not go our way,especially for out of state people. If things went sour for my case, I found out my home state and insurance company would be licking there chops when they got notified by the wi. court what happened. I came close to pleading my case down whatever I could with the da, in exchange for a guilty plea. I had never been thru this process before,but look no farther tha Dennis Melowski. Once you talk to him you will begin to feel better right away. Remember also, there are no 2 dui alike cases. Dennis is a master of getting all the details and then engineering a case from the bottom up. He is not cheap,but by the pleading down thought I had was going to cost me a lot more and have guilty on my record,wich never goes away. So if you find yourself in my situation,don't walk, run to his office and start talking to him. Your initial consultation is free and then you decide!! Pay him to take your case or get wrung thru the total ringer and end up paying more by the time all the fines and insurance costs add up in the next 5 years. Mark

“The Best Of The Best” This past November I had a close encounter with a deer. It was one week into the dear hunting season and the deer were running hard. On a very foggy evening on my way home from work a deer came out of the fog in front of my car causing me to go through a three way country in...tersection breaking off a road sign and ending up in a farm field. The owner of the property was at the scene immediately and gave me a ride home because my car would have to be towed. I have never had an accident before nor any traffic violations, a spotless record. Needless to say I was a bit shook up so my wife told me to settle down and have a drink. She said that she would call AAA and handle having the car towed out of the field. About one hour later she left our house to meet the tow truck. A little over one and one half hours later, and several brandy manhattans my door bell rings and it is a County Sheriff. I let him in and a long story short he proceeds to arrest me for OWI. He handcuffed me, arrested me and took me out of my house for drinking an alcoholic beverage in my home. This is very new territory for me, I did not know who to retain for my defense. After a recommendation from a retired judge who said Dennis is the best of the best, I retained Dennis Melowski for my defense. This retired judge said that Dennis is the only one that he would consider for this defense. Dennis went to work. He interviewed the arresting deputy who by the way tried to fabricate untrue facts and a time line in my disfavor in order to get a convection. Dennis put his private detective to work obtaining testimonies from witnesses. Dennis was able to prevent the DOT from revoking my license while the case was pending. Finally, Dennis was able to convince the prosecutor to drop the drunk driving charges. I truly believe that without Dennis Melowski, the system would have railroaded me into an unfair convection that would have cost me for many years to come. “Thank you Dennis” I will always have your business card in my wallet and will recommend you to any one that I know who finds themselves in need of your talents and services.

I hired Dennis to help me on my OWI arrest. After several rescheduling s and two years later he and his associates stayed on top of the case with every reschedule and cancellation and got me through what I viewed as one of the worst experiences of my life! I came out with all charges being dropped, I... couldn't of asked for more! Dennis is a very down to earth person. Treats YOU like a person and really does care about his clients. I highly recommend him to all.
