"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 hied Mr. Stangl to defend an OWI charge. This incident involved an accident and an admission to the arresting officer. Despite these challenges, Mr Stangl provided an aggressive defense and never stopped looking for creative defenses. He succeeded in getting my charges reduced and allowed me to ...keep my driver's license.

I made a mistake one time in my recent past that turned out to be two criminal misdemeanors charges which if convicted would be the end of my life in the US since I am not an American citizen. Finding the right attorney while dealing with the charges stress were unbelievably overwhelming, I looked a ...lot online trying to find the attorney that will save my future. I talked with many lawyers but honestly, Attorney Stangl invited me to his firm for a free consultation, he was so professional and understanding. I decided to go with him the same day I met him, and I will forever be thankful to him. He took care of my case, not just the criminal side of it, but the immigration side of it as well. He got me out of my both charges with some community service and everything was dismissed, he updated me on my case at all time. I didn’t even need to appear to court not even once which was amazing. Everything went smooth and I could never recommend a better lawyer than Mr. Patrick (especially if you aren’t an American citizen). Thank you for giving me a new opportunity in life.

" 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".
