My Boyfriend Got an OWI in Wisconsin - What Should I Do?

If your boyfriend is pulled over for an OWI, it could be important to speak with an attorney, which can start as a free consultation. Consequences for an OWI conviction could include a $300 fine, $435 surcharge, loss of driving privileges for 6-9 months and other penalties for a first offense.

Whether you just started dating or you’ve been together as long as you can remember, it’s hard to know what to do when your boyfriend gets arrested for drunk driving. Your S.O. could have his license revoked or suspended, do some jail time, lose his job, and have to pay tons of money in fines and legal fees.

Other sentencing items following your boyfriend’s first offense OWI conviction include:

  • SR-22 insurance verification (when he is eligible to drive again)
  • Installing an Ignition Interlock Device (depending on his BAC)
  • Probation requirements including alcohol assessment and random testing
