Top DUI/OWI Wisconsin Lawyer

My case took close to two years, and Mr. Melowski kept me informed throughout the entire time. At no point in time did I feel out of the loop or any less than 100% confident that I made the right choice to go with Dennis, and not once was there additional funds requested on top of the flat fee paymen...t. After the 20-month ordeal, the County of Marinette took our case to trial, and I received a jury decision of “NOT GUILTY”. This type of decision is not common in the County of Marinette, and from what I gathered while in court, is not something that current court personnel have seen since they started. Dennis was professional, and was able to add intangible value to our case that was very easy to notice in a trial setting. I feel privileged to have Dennis represent me, and I truly understand why he is the best at what he does in the state of Wisconsin. Thanks again Dennis! Isaac

Wow, a fighting change for your rights!!

Mr. Melowski was excellent to say the very least. After meeting with several reputable attorneys I knew that he was the only person for mine or any case. Knowledgeable beyond belief, he was able to give me hope when I had thought it was gone. His courtroom etiquette was amazing to watch, and in t...he end despite my charges he was able to get me the minimum in every aspect of the case. After witnessing him in action I believe that judges and district attorneys respect him for who he is and what he brings to the table. They certainly know he means business!

Dedicated. Committed. Knowledgeable. Personal.

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.

Dennis Melowski the Best Defense Attorney!

I contacted Dennis Melowski in June of 2010 when I was charged with an OWI, following a Motorcycle accident. I had reviewed a few other attorneys which Dennis's web site was to the point, not misleading, the fees to obtain his service were clear. From the first phone call I knew that I was in grea...t hands, my job was on the line, It was truly amazing that not one time did I have to attend a hearing or a single court appearance!!! Every time I had a question or concern, I called, if Dennis was not available, he would return the call in a very short time . My family was always informed either by mail or a message. The other point I would like to comment on is I had never met Dennis Melowski, yet I feel I consider him a true friend. Dennis was able to get me off the OWI to a reduced charge of reckless driving. Thanks You so much Dennis for a job well done, we have and will contine to refer other to Dennis Melowski.
