Getting an OWI in Wisconsin with an Iowa license means that you will receive penalties from both Wisconsin and Iowa. The Wisconsin OWI penalties could include 30 days of license revocation and 90 days of license revocation from Iowa. If your BAC is over a 0.15, then you will not be given a temporary restricted license (TRL) until you have installed an ignition interlock device (IID), shown proof of SR22, and paid a $200 civil penalty. You may also pay an additional $200 fee to the state of Iowa.
We have a long track record of helping clients get their OWI charges reduced or dropped. Wisconsin’s drunk driving penalties have been increasing over the years, and a 1st offense DUI conviction sticks with you for the rest of your life.
If you have an Iowa driver’s license and you get a first offense OWI in Wisconsin, you could face $1,000s in fines or other penalties in both states, and they could remain on your record for life.
