DUI WI Attorney - Wisconsin Drunk Driving or OWI - Operating While Under The Influence

Wisconsin law refers to drunk driving offenses as an OWI offense - operating while under the influence; other states refer to the same or similar charge as a DUI, DWI, or OUI. The basis of all drunk driving law is to accuse, charge and punish people for driving while under the influence of anything that may impair their ability to drive (note - the law does not necessarily state that the person be drunk). Alcohol or illegal drugs can cause impairment, but so can prescription medication and over the counter medications. Attorney Corey Chirafisi represents people who have been accused of driving under the influence.

OWI - operating while under the influence. An OWI is similar to a DUI - driving under the influence, or DWI - driving while intoxicated or under the influence.

BAC: Blood Alcohol Content. A BAC result states the percentage of alcohol in a person's blood stream at the time of the test. Police strive to determine the level (percentage) of alcohol in the alleged drunken driver's blood. If the percentage is in excess of the legal limit, police will arrest the suspect; they can also arrest a person for having a blood alcohol content under the legal limit, such as if the person's driving is impaired.

PAC: Prohibited Alcohol Content. Wisconsin's laws include prohibited alcohol content levels. If a driver's tests indicate that he or she has an alcohol limit in excess of the allowable limit, then a citation can also be issued for a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC) violation.
