Worth Every Dime

I was charged with OWI and PAC as a result of being in a car accident in Madison. I registered an alcohol concentration of .14 and believed on all accounts that my goose was cooked. That is until I hired Attorney Pat Stangl of Stangl Law Offices, S.C. Pat is the consummate professional and a real ...expert in his field. While I was anxious to have it over with Pat advised me to breathe deep since he needed to do some additional research and investigation. That's what I did and was quite surprised and relieved when I received a call from Pat indicating that due to some technical problems he discovered with my case the OWI was going to amended to a reckless driving and the PAC count was going to be dismissed because he found a loophole. Pat is well known for defending difficult cases and that is what he did for me! I highly recommend Attorney Pat Stangl and Stangl Law Offices, S.C.

Excellent attorney, worth every penny

I was charged with criminal drunk driving based on an alleged witness stating that she saw me driving. I didn't do well on the field sobriety test and my alcohol concentration was above the legal limit. I was referred to Attorney Pat Stangl of Stangl Law Offices, S.C. by a friend and knew right away ...that I was in good hands. During the arrest the officer kept telling me they had a witness who saw me driving; he was trying to get me to confess to something I did not do. I kept telling him I wasn't driving but they didn't care and arrested me anyway. After investigating the case Attorney Stangl filed a motion arguing that the police officers did not have sufficient legal reason to arrest me. During the investigation Attorney Stangl was able to show that the officer's claim that a witness saw me driving was false. The witness could not even identify me and never saw me drive or operate the truck. Thanks to Pat the criminal OWI and PAC charges were dismissed outright! I cant say enough about how grateful I am and what a tremendous job Pat and his Staff did representing me from start to finish. I never had to set foot in the courtroom once, he handled it all without me having to be present in this case. I Highly recommend Pat Stangl and Stangl Law Offices, S.C. They are the best and worth every penny!!!! Sincerely, M.S.

Unfortunate situation

My son was being criminally investigated for an alleged sexual assult involving a girl at a high school. The allegations were totally false but nonetheless he faced serious criminal charges. I was referred to Pat Stangl and Stangl Law Offices, S.C. By a close friend. Pat got right to work dealing wit...h the District Attorney. He demonstrated that the matter was consensual but was being completely blown out of proportion by the girl. Thanks to Pat and his proactive, thorough and aggressive representation, the District Attorney, after due concideration, declined to even charge my son. I can’t tell you how relieved my son and our family are thanks to Pat.

Pat was able to amend my difficult and complicated OWI 2nd case to a non-criminal reckless driving charge.

I made a number of mistakes one evening and I ended up being charged in Portage, WI with an OWI 2nd offense. The case became even more complicated based on the statements I made to the officer. I faced mandatory jail time if convicted as well as being saddled for the rest of my life with a criminal c...onviction I felt I did not deserve. I knew the only chance I had was to hire Pat Stangl, which I did. We were fully prepared to try the case when Attorney Stangl caught the prosecution off guard and flat footed on a constitutional issue regarding the blood test result. A case with very difficult odds and a trial may have raised a number of legal complications regarding our defense. Attorney Stangl got my criminal OWI 2nd amended to a reckless driving and the criminal PAC 2nd charge was dismissed. From the moment I met Attorney Stangl in person I knew that he would fight until the bitter end for me and he sure did. He is a great defense lawyer. Thanks a million.

Unfortunate Situation

"I had an unfortunate family situation involving a child which resulted in me being charged with felony child abuse. As you can imagine I was overwhelmed and scared about how this may impact my current employment and my future. My husband and I decided it was critical to find the best defense attorne...y available and we contacted Attorney Stangl. Even before I was formally charged Pat went to work to proactively deal with the forthcoming criminal charges. Pat demonstrated to the DA that the alleged incident was blown out of proportion and that, under the circumstances, criminal charges were not appropriate. Pat was able to get my felony child abuse charge amended to an ordinance violation for disorderly conduct. Attorney Stangl is extremely knowledgeable, proactive and very well respected as a defense attorney. He and his staff were extremely supportive of me during this difficult time and the quality of his work speak for itself. If I could give him more than five stars, I would!!!!!!" S.M.
