Exceeded My Expectations...which were high to begin with!

It came down to Dennis and another well-regarded DUI attorney to fight my case and save my job. I was on the fence and contacts my wife's brother-in-law who is a lawyer at a big firm for his advice. He told me to go with Dennis because, in his words, "Dennis Melowski is the MAN." And was he ever righ...t! Although the court process was very slow, I never lost faith because I knew I had Dennis in my corner. After months of legal challenges and plea bargaining, dennis got me a fantastic deal. I avoided a DUI completely and got stuck with just a minor traffic ticket. He saved my job (which would have been irreplaceable) and I cannot say enough good things about him. Like I was told, he is the MAN.

Reputation saver

Dennis was referred to me by a Wisconsin attorney as the best OWI attorney in Wisconsin. As a professional in a small town, an OWI conviction could have been very harmful to my reputation. Dennis was able to have the OWI charge reduced to a minor traffic offense, a better-than-expected result, and ...I never had to appear in court or do anything other than respond to an occasional phone call or email from Dennis. I highly recommend him if you are serious about fighting an alcohol-related charge.

accidental owi

Accidentally took evening medications in AM. Became confused on drive to work. Arrested for OWI. No alcohol or narcotics. No driving citations for 40 yrs. Damaged a traffic sign and my bumper. State still came after me hard. Mr. Melowski diligently pursued this for 1-1/2 yrs, and in the end, got the ...charge reduced to traffic violations. No OWI. I believe this was a fair outcome for both sides, and the best I could have hoped for. Mr. Melowski is, in my opinion, as skilled and fine an attorney as you'll find. A real pro.

Go With the Best!

I chose that title for my review of Dennis because that was what the ultimate decision of choosing my lawyer (or whether or not to hire one at all) came down to. It took me four very long days, concentrating on nothing else, to finally call Dennis back and ask him to represent me. My insurance rates... on multiple vehicles would triple, the fines and court costs I knew about, the unknown costs that may be ahead, the prospect of the OWI on my record - it all left my head spinning. Finally, I just let it all go, and told myself that if I didn't hire the best, I may very well have to live my life wondering, "What If?" Sixteen months later, the only thing I was wondering was if I would ever get to meet the man! Everything was handled by phone, text, or email. He is calm, intelligent, and reassuring, and responds quickly to a call or text. He goes to court for you, and then tells you what happened and what will happen next. In my case, it was going to come down to a jury trial. I met with Dennis two weeks before the scheduled trial and he went over the research he had gathered for the case. He also told me that the DA may budge before the trial, and that he would settle for nothing other than a non-alcohol related offense. If there was no settlement, we were to meet again a couple days before the trial. I left his office with such confidence in him, that I never bothered to ask for a day off of work! And rightfully so - I soon got a phone call from him stating that we had gotten the non-alcohol related charges that he had sought! Hiring Dennis gives you a peace of mind that you would never dream possible in such a serious situation. I will be forever grateful and recommend him wholeheartedly! He is AMAZING!

An Excellent Attorney

I chose Dennis Melowski to represent me for a second OWI charge. It was the best choice I could have made. Not only is he extremely personable, his knowledge and professionalism are exemplary. My case continued on for over two years, and never for a minute did he make me feel like this was a bothe...r to him. He worked hard to get me favorable results, and I trusted him every step of the way that he would do everything in his power to help me. I would, without any reservation, recommend Attorney Dennis Melowski for your legal representation.
