Top 3 Mistakes People Make After Being Charged
in New Richmond

When you’re charged with a crime, everything can feel overwhelming. But what you do next can significantly impact your defense. If you're facing charges in New Richmond or St. Croix County,
avoid these common missteps:

  1. Talking to Police Without Legal Representation - Even if you're innocent, speaking to police without a lawyer can put your future at risk. Use your right to remain silent—and use it confidently. Ask for an attorney. Let Nelson Defense Group help protect you and your rights.
  2. Accepting the First Plea Deal - It’s natural to want to “get it over with,” but early plea offers may not be the best choice for you, leading to more consequences or punishments than necessary. Don’t agree to anything until your case has been thoroughly reviewed by a defense lawyer who puts your best interests first.
  3. Trying to Handle the Case Alone - The system is complex and unforgiving. Without experienced counsel, your rights can be overlooked and your future jeopardized. With Nelson Defense Group, you have a dedicated advocate who will walk with you, guide you, and stand up for you every step of the way.

DUI/OWI Defense Lawyer in New Richmond, WI

In Wisconsin, OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) charges can lead to harsh consequences—license suspension, steep fines, increased insurance rates, and even jail time. If you've been pulled over in New Richmond and charged with an OWI, you must act fast to protect your future.

We understand the fear and uncertainty you’re facing, and we’re here to help you navigate it
with clarity and strength.

What You Need to Know About Wisconsin OWI Laws

An OWI can result from alcohol or restricted controlled substances. For most adults, the legal limit is a BAC of 0.08%—but charges can still be filed under that threshold if impairment is alleged. And for those with prior OWI convictions, the legal limit drops to just 0.02%.

Don’t wait to get help. If you’ve been arrested for OWI in New Richmond, contact an OWI attorney who will fully investigate your stop, question the evidence, and build a defense that gives your story the weight it deserves.

How Nelson Defense Group Builds a
Strong OWI Defense

When we take on your case, we look at every angle:

  • Was the traffic stop legal?
  • Were your rights respected during the arrest?
  • Did the officer have probable cause?
  • Was the breathalyzer or field sobriety test conducted correctly?

If any part of the procedure was flawed, we will work to have the evidence suppressed and your charges reduced, dismissed, or tried in court.
