I am a combat veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq and upon my return to the states in found myself in serious legal trouble, charged with multiple serious felonies which arose out of an alleged domestic situation. I was very scared and troubled by the allegations and began to search for a criminal d...efense attorney woth experience in defending difficult cases, a winning history and great reputation. I had heard about attorney Stang and the more that I learned about him the more I was convinced that he was the only defense attorney in wanted to represent me. He is extremely dedicated and tenacious and has a great respect for veterans. For over a year, he fought tirelessly for me. One of my felony cases was dismissed and the other very serious felony charges were amended to misdemeanors. The state wanted me to go to jail and make sure I could never legally possess a firearm again. Pat argued persuasively that I should not have to do any jail and that I should be allowed to have my misdemeanor convictions expunged upon successful completion of my probation. Without pat and his hard work and dedication I would not have an opportunity to start my life over with a clean slate. He is a fantastic attorney and I recommend him highly.

I was charged with an OWI/PAC with a very high alcohol concentration. Frankly, I didn't think anything could be done to help my situation. I spoke to a friend of mine who recommended that I contact Pat Stangl. I ended up hiring Attorney Stangl and I cannot even believe the result he obtained for m...e. Attorney Stangl believed that he had an argument that the manner in which I was stopped was not legal because the only basis for the stop was my high mount brake light was not operating. Under the Wisconsin Administrative Code that is reason to stop a vehicle, however Attorney Stangl came up with a very unique legal argument and at the hearing to challenge the stop, through his experience and expertise, caught the County flat footed. Attorney Stangl was able to exploit the fact that the County failed to offer certain evidence regarding that third brake light. The matter was briefed by the parties and I must say Attorney Stangl is a brilliant legal strategist and an excellent writer. The court agreed with Attorney Stangl’s analysis and granted the motion and all the evidence against me was thrown out including the .22 blood test! To anyone out there looking for the best drunk driving lawyer, I found him. Contact Pat Stangl and Stangl Law Offices, S.C. for your best chance for a successful defense.

I was charged with several very serious criminal charges including a serious felony. As a young man I could ill afford any criminal conviction, much less a serious felony or my future would be literally ruined. Luckily my parents knew Pat Stangl and hired him to help me. I cannot say enough about wha...t an excellent defense attorney he is and how much he helped me. As a result of his excellent work, the prosecutor agreed to amend the felony to a misdemeanor. Attorney Stangl also convinced the prosecutor that upon my successful completion of probation, the misdemeanor could be expunged from my record. The trial judge did not even agree to consider expunction in my case due to the seriousness of the offense. We then decided to appeal the court's denial to the court of appeals, Pat won the appeal for me, and we went back to the trial court. Attorney Stangl never quit fighting me for. Eventually the trail court agreed with Pat and my criminal record has been expunged. I can now move on to enjoy better career opportunities and a better life because I made the smartest decision I could when I hired Attorney Stangl. I would highly recommend Pat Sating along with his staff at Stangl Law Offices.

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

Patrick is an amazing lawyer who was a life-line in a case that seemed hopeless. I was charged with a 3rd OWI while inside a bar because two eyewitnesses said I had been driving erratically. I did agree to a Breathalyzer even though I didn't drink until I got to the bar. I didn't agree to the bloo...d draw because I just thought something wasn't right about the arrest, and because I have a language processing difficulty, I really didn't understand what was going on. I was then charged with a refusal. My mother had heard of Mr. Stangl through another client of his, and we decided to contact him. He met with us right away in person, assured us that he would do his best for me although no promises could be made. Throughout the court appearances, Mr. Stangl was always in contact not only by letter but also in person beforehand. If we called him, he got back to us quickly. I always felt confident with him especially since he was one of the few people who understood my disability whereas I felt that the arresting police and the DA did not. Patrick had several plea bargains offered to him for my consideration from losing my license forever to reckless driving. By investigating the reliability of the eyewitnesses, he was able to convince the DA to drop the OWI and charge me with inattentive driving, a misdemeanor. I still can't believe how lucky I am. With any other lawyer, I would be in jail now facing a big fine, ignition interlock and all sorts of other difficulties. This great result only happened because Patrick never dropped the ball. He knows the law inside and out, and he fought tooth and nail for me. I am forever grateful. If you need a lawyer, Patrick Stangl is the BEST! Andy G
