100s of Cases Dismissed

Hudson WI, driver had his OWI-1st charge amended to a Reckless Driving after Attorney Nero convinced the prosecutor that he could not meet his burden because his client did not have a prohibited alcohol concentration at the time of driving.

Pennsylvania driver had his OWI-2nd charge amended to OWI-1st after the Defense’s Motion to Suppress was granted.

St. Croix Falls, WI, driver had his OWI-1st charge amended to a Reckless Driving after Attorney Nero appealed a municipal court conviction to circuit court.

Bloomer, WI, driver was charged in Chippewa County with felony operating while intoxicated (“OWI”) and operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (“PAC”), both as felony fourth offenses. Attorney Nero filed a motion challenging a prior conviction. That motion was granted and the felony OWI-4th offense was reduced to a misdemeanor OWI-3rd offense, saving the client from a felony conviction – an important matter to him because felons cannot possess firearms and the client enjoyed this constitutional right – as well as a lengthier jail sentence, revocation and ignition interlock.

St. Paul, MN driver was charged with third-offense OWI and PAC in St. Croix County. Attorney Nero argued post-operation consumption, leading to the dismissal of all charges. The client avoided jail time, license revocation, ignition interlock, and hefty fines.

Chaska, MN, driver was charged in the City of Hudson with operating while intoxicated (“OWI”) and operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (“PAC”), both as first offenses. This driver left a wedding party and was seen by police to be stumbling from the bar to his car. The police claimed to pull him over after seeing him make an unsignaled turn into a parking lot of a closed business. Attorney Nero argued to the prosecutor that there was no basis for the traffic stop because the unsignaled turn did not violate Wisconsin law. Rather than fight a losing battle, the prosecution offered a plea to reckless driving, saving the client from a driver’s license revocation, large fines, mandatory alcohol treatment, and an OWI conviction.
