Patrick J. Stangl

I had an excellent experience working with Attorney Patrick Stengel. From the very beginning, I was facing an out-of-state warrant, and he was able to have the warrant removed and arrange a court date. This gave me the time I needed to travel to Wisconsin and take care of the situation without the ...stress and risk of having an active warrant hanging over me. Throughout my case, Patrick was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated. He explained every step of the process, answered my questions clearly, and made sure I understood all my options. Because I was from out of state, Patrick made the process much easier by handling many of the court appearances on my behalf, only requiring me to attend the most important dates. This saved me time, travel, and stress, while he kept me fully informed along the way. Yes, his services are expensive, but you truly get what you pay for—and his expertise and results made him absolutely worth hiring. His preparation, courtroom presence, and commitment gave me confidence, and the outcome he achieved was far better than I expected. If you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy criminal defense lawyer in Dane County, I highly recommend Patrick Stengel. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to provide the best representation

I was recently in legal issues and looking at thousands in fines, months in jail and worst of all losing my gun rights. After hiring Pat he immediately got working on collecting all the evidence he needed and contacting the DA. Soon thereafter he advised me on counseling, online classes and everyth...ing I could do proactively to better my chances in court. He took care of all the court proceedings for six months, I just followed his instructions. Ultimately he was able to get the domestic charges dropped with only a disorderly conduct charge remaining. I ended with a couple hundred dollars in fines and 1 year probation. Best of all my gun rights left intact. I couldn’t be happier with my outcome. Pat was extremely helpful and professional. I would recommend him to anyone else in uncertain and scary situations. Cannot thank him enough.

I was charged with an OWI and an open intoxicant, so it was recommended by my best friend's cousin from Rockford Illinois, that Patrick Stangl could, with guarantee, win my case. I googled Patrick, I was impressed and did a consultation. I was pleased with Patrick during the consult, so I hired him, ...and he worked 11 hard months for me! He was very determined to get these charges dropped! I've never hired an attorney before, and I had feared that I was going to be investing a great deal of money with no positive results, but when I met Patrick his knowledge base was incredibly admirable, in which I became optimistic! He explained what to expect from a municipal court and circuit court so I wasn't going in blindly. He went through the police report/video and in great detail explained to me why, what, and how he would be proving my innocence. Long story short Patrick was able to drop my OWI and open intoxicant charges!! I cried with joy and relief! I would hire him again in a heart beat, and strongly recommend him to anyone that wants to win cases and needs their innocence proven!

" I was charged in an OWI and PAC as a sixth offense. I was in deep, deep trouble, terrified and facing a prison sentence. I didn't know where to turn until I found Pat Stangl. I felt very lucky that he took my case and he was very understanding and supportive of my predicament. He told me the on...ly way out was either outright dismissal of both charges or to be found not guilty by a jury on both charges. Pat aggressively defended my case at every turn. He used every weapon in his arsenal including an attack on the courts probable cause finding and an unsuccessful motion to dismiss but he never stopped fighting for me. After aggressively defending me for over two years, the case finally went to trial. During the trial after the close of the State's evidence he moved to dismiss the prohibited alcohol concentration count on the grounds of insufficiency of the evidence. The court agreed that the State's expert witness failed to establish that their blood test was relevant given the lack of any evidence regarding the time of the alleged operation/driving of my vehicle. The court agreed and dismissed that count. The remaining OWI count was presented to the jury and after deliberating for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Words cannot describe how impressed I am with his skills as a defense attorney. Not only that, he really cared about winning my case and about me as a person. Simply put, he is THE BEST! Period".

I contacted Pat for help with my OWI and PAC of 0.17. The very first thing I noticed was that he was in no way judgmental and did what he could to help calm me down as I went in extremely nervous and had no idea where my life was about to go. I let him no that my absolute main goal was to reduce the ...PAC so that I wouldn't need to have an ignition interlock installed in my vehicle and in the end he succeeded. He worked the case for about 7 months and the entire time kept in contact, explained everything that was happening, guided me in whatever I needed to do and never asked for more money. Everyone involved was constantly helpful whenever I needed to call or understand more about what was going on. He took a major mistake I made in my life, something that had been breaking me down and made it into something I could manage and work to recover from. He put in a lot of work and always seemed to be available to discuss the progress on the case and I couldn't be more thankful for everything he did and helped me through!
