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

"One night I exercised poor judgement and elected to drive when I shouldn't have. What makes it worse and further complicated is the fact that I am a truck driver who holds a commercial driver's license. I ended up getting an operating while under the influence citation along with a prohibited alcoho...l concentration citation. My future and career hung in the balance. I researched the best drunk driving lawyer in the state, Pat Stangl, and immediately called him. Luckily he was able to take my case. I didn't know what to expect but I knew that if I was convicted my job was gone and I would likely not work in the industry in the future. When I spoke with Attorney Stangl I was totally impressed. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and reassuring. He told me that if there was a way out of this mess that he would find it. Long story-short-he did. On the day of my trial he called with incredible news! The PAC charge was going to be dismissed and the OWI was being amended to reckless driving! Now he only had to get the court to approve the proposed deal and the court did. Thanks to Pat and his staff I now have my future back. If you ever get a drunk driving, he is the only attorney you should be called THE BEST!!"

I found myself charged with a felony OWI with my future and promising career hanging in the balance. I wanted the best legal defense I could find to help me through this very difficult and delicate situation. I did my due diligence, researched the best criminal defense lawyers in WI, and immediatel...y made an appointment with Pat Stangl. I knew that he had a reputation for winning difficult cases, and I was immediately impressed after meeting with him. He was honest, forthright, and very knowledgeable about what I was going through. He told me at our initial meeting that if there was any way out of the felony charge he would find it for me. Pat aggressively defended my case for over a year, digging deep into my prior convictions. He was able to clearly demonstrate to the court that in one of my prior convictions I was not properly advised of one of my constitutional rights and subsequently that prior conviction could not be used against me. As a result of Pat's hard work, dedication, and never say die attitude my felony charge was dismissed. I ended up with a misdemeanor conviction and my promising career and personal life are now back on track. I give Pat and Stangl Law Offices my highest recommendation and strongly recommend him to anyone facing serious criminal problems. Thank you Pat for all your hard work and dedication, your reputation is well warranted.

I retained Mr. Stangl during a domestic disorderly conduct charge. It was an incredibly daunting time for me and my family. Right from the first meeting he took charge of the situation and I was immediately put at ease. I knew I had an attorney that was looking out for me and would do everything he ...could to help me through this process. He was very thorough, after every court appearance Mr. Stangl would explain what the next steps would be and he would follow up with a letter to ensure understanding of the situation. I was facing possible jail time along with quite a bit in fines and Mr. Stangl was able to get probation instead. I would highly recommend Mr. Stangl to anyone facing legal issues.

I was referred to Pat by a friend after my case was mangled by a different attorney. My case was very complex both because of the errors my initial attorney made and the charges being brought against me – an OWI and Implied Consent Violation. Dismayed, I contacted Pat from my disadvantageous position... in the hopes of having a fighting chance. From a professional standpoint, I couldn’t afford the reputational damage of a DUI. Although the nature of my case was very difficult, Pat decided to take over my case to try and help. With the intricate precision of surgeon, Pat picked up the fractured remains left over from my previous attorney and pieced together a cohesive and convincing argument winning a resounding victory! From the moment I met Pat I could tell he had a deliberate mindset and heart of a champion. He takes an emotional stake in his craft, clients, and reputation – a crucial characteristic in anyone entrusted with important life matters. I could not be more relieved and happy with his results and recommend him highly. - A Former Badger Athlete
