Question: What Are the Penalties for First Offense OWI in Wisconsin?

Answer: For first offense OWI in Wisconsin, you can get anywhere from a six to a nine month revocation of your operating privileges; a fine; mandated treatment and what’s called the ignition interlock device, which is a device that’s put on every single vehicle you own or drive in order to ensure that you’re not drinking before you operate a motor vehicle. Those are extremely expensive. And first offenses will follow you around for a lifetime on your driving record, so it’s imperative that you contact a lawyer even for a first offense.
