FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What will it cost to have attorney representation in a municipal or traffic ticket matter?

  • We can negotiate your municipal citation matter for $195 in most Milwaukee area municipalities.

How does the Wisconsin driver’s license point system work?

  • When 12 or more demerit points build up in one year, your driver’s license will be suspended for a minimum of two months. If your driver’s license is suspended, the suspension will be on your record for five years from the date of suspension. For serious offenses, or alcohol-related convictions, convictions will remain on your driving record for 55 years.
  • Demerit points are earned for many reasons, including failure to perform a duty after an accident, reckless driving or racing, driving in excess of the speed limit, improper brakes or lights, or deviating from a traffic lane (just to name a few).
  • Persons who hold a probationary license are subject to double the point demerits for the second and all subsequent points.
