Top Notch

Dennis Melowski is a extremely knowledgeable attorney who's professionalism is second to none. I found myself in a difficult situation as I was arrested for a second offense DUI with a breathalyzed blood alcohol content of 0.13. The punishment for this included loss of my regular driver's license for... a year, minimum of 10 days of jail time, large monetary fines, and worst of all, my CDL would have been taken away for life. My career requires me to maintain a CDL, therefore I was in jeopardy of losing my career, which is that start of a chain reaction knocking down the dominos of my house, my possessions, and my way of life. I was facing one of the scariest situations of my life. I asked around for a good attorney and the name Dennis Melowski came up multiple times. The money I paid to retain Dennis was worth every penny and more. He, along with his associate, Matthew Murray, put a stay on my regular driver's license and saved my CDL while my case was going through court, thereby saving me from losing my job. In the end, he produced many good arguments and convinced the judge to throw out the 0.13 BAC breathalyzer the state of Wisconsin had on me. After that victory, the state dropped all charges, giving me the best possible outcome of this very stressful situation. If you find yourself in DUI or OWI trouble, call Dennis Melowski. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

The very best!

When I was arrested and charged with OWI and Pac I knew right away I wanted to fight it. I called two local lawyers and felt they only wanted my money and an easy guilty/no contest plea. A friend referred me to Dennis Melowski, and I was impressed right from the start. Not only was he knowledgeable b...ut him and his staff took care of EVERYTHING. Him and his staff were always there to answer any of my questions and were always timely to reach back to me on any matter. Even before I hired Dennis he was straight with me and gave his honest opinion about my case. Oh yeah, he's also pretty damn good at his job, he got my case pled down to Inattentive driving and Disorderly conduct with a motor vehicle, with out going to court. Dennis and his team are worth every penny, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you or any one you know needs an OWI lawyer, Dennis and his firm should be the first and last call you make.

As If The Day Never Happened - If you Need Results, There is No One Else!

After searching for an attorney and making numerous phone calls to different lawyers to represent my case for 1st time DUI, I came across Dennis. I had been stopped for failure to yield, resulting in being pulled over and arrested on suspicion of OWI. After receiving my results of BAC of .196, there ...was no doubt I needed the best. My job was dependent on reputation as well as driving privileges. We talked with Dennis and immediately he had a plan for what was next and what he could do to help. We received the police officer's dashboard camera and began fighting our case that there was no traffic violation committed. We felt we had a legitimate chance of getting the case dropped based upon the evidence. Although I didn't want to lose my license, by keeping the current judge who would suspend them, Dennis felt he would have a better chance of success. His legal opinion always had the best reasoning. Through the whole process, Dennis kept me informed, but never did I have to make a statement or be present for a hearing. He handled everything. We thought the process could take years if it were to be turned over in my favor. I received an email approximately 9 months after the case began that ALL charges were dismissed. It was as if the day had never happened. Dennis was easy to work with, informative, and assured me he had everything under control. I felt "stress-free" with him in control of my case and was able to look forward to his updates knowing he was getting closer to my desired results. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best outcome! Although I never got to meet him face to face, I would love to shake his hand and thank him for representing me when I thought I was at my worst. Wouldn't go with anyone else!

Got My Life Back

I was arrested 10 months ago for DUI, as a CDL holder, this is career ending. I was referred to Dennis Melowski by an owner of a trucking company, who has benefitted from Dennis Melowski services in the past. My case was difficult from the start dealing with a hard judge, an arrogant arresting of...ficer, and a DA who was out for all or nothing, and nothing is what he got, thanks to Dennis. He was able to stay my suspension while negotiating, so I was able to continue driving. He had a subpoena for a family member thrown out so they didn't have to go to court and testify, which was a big relief for my family. So when it came down to trial, Dennis was amazing. From jury selection, to cross examining the DA's witnesses, he was truly remarkable. It is a frightening experience having a jury trial, but Dennis made it bearable, eased my tension, and totally commanded the courtroom, that's where he is exceptional. Needless to say, verdict came back not guilty on the two charges of DUI and BAC over legal limit. Thanks to Dennis and his firm, my life is back to normal.

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.
