I was pulled over in Portage WI late at night from a long drive to SD to drop off my step son. Weary from the road, but not wavering, a cop pulled me over for not having a front plate on my '95 collector. Watch out. These guys aren't looking to protect, they are on the attack with the sole purpose o...f getting tickets, not busting drunk drivers. Anyway, I had one beer at a rest stop just prior. Got field sobriety, passed it well. Got blow test, blew at .01, yea .01 not .1. They arrested me anyway. I refused the blood test but was taking in and forced it out of me anyway. I was facing two counts, OWI and for refusing blood test. Both carry about the same penalty! If charged, my next 5 years would have carried an extra $300 a month in high risk insurance and the next year I would not have been able to take my family on any visits with others or vacations. I called 3 other attorneys and none of them had every gotten someone off from refusing a blood test. Patrick was the fourth and he had experience doing it! It was all dropped to "inattentive driving" and a $250 fine. Well I guess you gotta throw the dogs a bone. Praise God for Patrick for protecting me and my family!

I was charged for an OWI-PAC 3rd offense along with an IID violation and obstructing an officer, I was very troubled by the police officers' actions as they broke into the back door and entered my house without a warrant. He challenged the search to the home and the hearing was held in front of a res...erve judge who denied the motion. Pat did not quit, and he refused to accept the judges' decision. He did additional research and filed a motion for reconsideration given some recent development in the law with respect to the issue of warrantless searches. After reviewing what took place at the hearing as well as the motion for reconsideration the trial judge agreed that the officer illegally entered my home without a warrant to arrest me and granted the motion to suppress evidence. My case was successfully resolved, and I did not end up with any criminal charges. I know that Pat Stangl and Stangl Law Offices S.C. has an outstanding reputation and is respected by other attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. His knowledge, experience, and never quit attitude resulted in my successful defense. I highly recommend Pat and feel he is, if not the Best, is definitely one of the best defense attorneys in the state.

I heard about Pat Stangl through the first attorney i consulted in hayward wisconsin. I was being charged with a felony owi and a felony possession. I never thought i would be able to practice my 2nd amendment rights ever again. But thanks to pat stangl's investment and knowledge in practicing owi la...w, his high standing reputation with the people of the court, including the DA. I got a second chance at life. And walked away without a felony
