Mishlove Team saved my driving privileges/reputation and thousands of dollars!
I was extremely panicked when I contacted my local lawyer regarding an out-of-state traffic ticket issue that became a very serious issue for me. They referred me to Andrew Mishlove.
He was able to convince the WI ADA to look at my case and consider a lower plea, reducing the ticket such that it is no longer a problem! I highly recommend the Mishlove team! They did not let me down!
ANDREW MISHLOVE IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST DUI LAWYER IN WISCONSIN!!
Andrew not only helped me though a very traumatic experience by giving me honest, blunt advice, but after he looked at my case he gave me his "gameplan" on our defense and it made total sense! From his very first consolation to the end, he never told me what I wanted to hear (like other lawyers told me) & always gave me excellent legal advice.
As for the court room...Andrew is a BULLDOG! He filed at least 4 or 5 motions that were denied by the judge, but he didn't quit. My next phone call, he had a different strategy in mind, and when he took that to the Milwaukee County DA, he chose to dismiss all charges. WOW!
Also, Andrew has been around in the DUI game for over 30 years! It seemed like he knew everyone & everyone knew him. I know personal contacts are not supposed to mean anything in the justice system, but come on, we all know...it's who you know!
It is true, Andrew is more expensive than other attorneys, but you have to consider what you are getting for the higher fee. You could go with a PD, but they have so many cases and aren't paid alot, so your odds are terrible! I'm sure they're are some hard working PD's out there, but let's be honest. Then you could go with a lawyer that charges less but I guarantee you will get what you paid for!
With Andrew, you do get what you paid for...a HIGH class DUI defense with a super knowledgeable attorney who will fight his tail off for you.
If it's not obvious...I HIGHLY recommend Andrew Mishlove with all my being!

Truly the Best of the Best
In 2014, I was charged with a first-time OWI in Wisconsin that was due to prescription drug use. It was clear to me that it was going to prove to be a very difficult case, so I searched extensively for the “best” attorney I could find in the Southeastern Wisconsin area. I met and spoke with several of the “best” recommended. There were some “best” attorneys who weren’t even interested in representing my case as they deemed it was “unwinnable” and not “worth their time”. I was shocked by that response. Luckily I found Andrew Mishlove. While Andrew never said he was going to win my case, he also never said it was not “winnable”. Andrew was honest, straight-forward and very direct. He always told me like it was and never sugar-coated anything. I was always aware that I could lose, but I knew I wanted to attempt to win with Andrew. It was the BEST decision I have ever made; one that could have had very serious repercussions to my personal and professional life. Andrew and his team treated me with the highest level of respect and courtesy for the entire duration. Andrew is firm, but kind and caring. He researched everything and went the length to find professionals in pharmacology who could represent me if and when needed. I truly appreciated that. In the end, I had the most desirable result, for me: a great success to not have an OWI on my record and in my life. Thank you Andrew!

DUI in Wisconsin with IL Driver's License
In 2010 I received an OWI and Refusal to submit to a chemichal test in Wisonsin, Andrew Mishlove and my lawyer associate Lauren Stuckert were very knowledgable with the IL Wisconsin problem. I was not conviceted of DUI and was only convicted on the refusal charge which proved to be a benifit and a lesser penalty for me and my IL driver's license. I will not have a DUI on my record and I will be forever greatful.

Case Dismissed
A conviction on a first-offence in WI translates to severe consequences for IL residents, so I needed the very best representation possible. My research indicated this would be Andrew Mishlove. He lived up to—and exceeded—my expectations. He is tough and tenacious—not afraid of a fight—yet, caring and compassionate. Andrew, Sarah and the entire staff treat their clients with respect and dignity. They are always available to answer questions or meet when needed, thoroughly explaining each phase of the process. Andrew fought diligently on my behalf and against all odds, the case was dismissed! Andrew was a true Godsend and I’d recommend him in a heartbeat.

OWI case that seemed to be a long shot to prove and win
Most importantly to us- Andrew was honest! He gave us all the possiblities of the case- good and bad, he gave us choices of other solutions to the case. We made the choice to stick with Andrew, go before a jury and never looked back knowing we made the only choice right for us! Andrew blew us away with his knowledge and expertise of an OWI case. His opening statement was incredibly powerful although it was not evidence in the case. He knew exactly what he was doing when cross examining the state witness - he knew what he wanted the jury to hear - the real facts of the case. Andrew was able to present the facts, present the Wisconsin state law in detail and expose the reality that the state had no proof to convict and therefore won the case. He saved a 25 year trucking career, he saved our financial lives! When we did the research on the best OWI attorney in the state, we found him and he was worth every penny!

Highly Recommended!
I had a very complex DUI case and I would highly, highly, highly recommend The Law Offices of Andrew Mishlove. Andrew, Lauren and Sarah treated me like I was their only client. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable in DUI defense and if you are looking for a great attorney, you will not be disappointed. Andrew and Lauren both represented me at different hearings and I was always happy with the job they did. They worked extremely hard on my case which eventually went to a jury trial and was won by Lauren.

Sometimes you just don't know how lucky you can be.
Taking into consideration the embarrassing nature of being charged with a DUI and then not being able to focus on the importance of selecting an attorney to represent you...........What an uncomfortable situation! I was referred to Atty Mishlove by a friend who is an attorney in another state. His words were "why not go with the best?" "you deserve the best representation possible."

Reduced My First Offense
I'm an Illinois resident that got pulled over just before the border in Wisconsin. Andrew did an excellent job getting my charge reduced (which isn't easy in Wisconsin) and preventing me from having to go through the nightmare of dealing with the elevated penalties Illinois applies to its drivers when they receive a DUI in Wisconsin. Would highly recommend.

My perfect Lawyer
Andrew Mishlove could be the best DWI lawyer in Wisconsin. I was pushed to make a deal in my pending situation. I told my lawyer that the deal was unacceptable. He told me that he went to a seminar that was hosted by Andrew, and that his expertise would be needed to defend my case. I used both lawyers together and it was the best decision I could have made in this situation. Andrew was incredible, to say the least! His expertise was crucial to getting my case dismissed. His knowledge of DWI Law is a step above any attorney that your friend, co-worker, or relative may refer you. I can not express in words how much Andrew has helped me & family through.
Thank you, Andrew!

Mr. Mishlove is a great attorney
He was able to inform us of how the law works and informed us "do not plea guilty to DUI charge. He was able to have charge dismissed and get us a misdeamenor, which helped my husband keep his license and save us from having to pay costly insurance payments down the road.

From felony to a misdemeanor
Because of the knowledge and expertise of Mr. Mishlove, my felony 5th D.U.I. was reduced to a misdemeanor 4th. In addition, he argued for the minimum sentence for a 4th offense and we won. I had a few factors working to my benefit in the case, but without Mr. Mishlove the outcome would not have been possible. I would highly recommend his service for a D.U.I./ O.W.I. case.
