I asked Attorney Wood to explain a Wisconsin law whose wording is somewhat ambiguous to ensure I did not come even close to violating it. (It would not be an issue in my state or most other states.) The consultation was well worth the fee because now I understand clearly what I can and cannot do with...

"I am very happy to endorse Tracey Wood as a true expert and attorney in DUI defense. Unfortunately, what many people facing a DUI don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of attorneys in any metro area who will handle their DUI. However, maybe only a handful of these attorneys truly know how to defend these complex scientific cases. If you submitted to a blood test, breath test or even standardized field sobriety tests, then you need an attorney who has years of formal training and experience defending these complex cases. Hiring anyone else is usually a recipe for losing. I have known Tracey for years, and I can assure you she is one of those few attorneys who has a complete understanding of the science necessary to challenge these cases successfully. Christopher H. Cessna Attorney at Law Denver, CO"
