When the police search your property with a warrant, it might feel like you have no options.

If a search warrant was issued improperly or executed in violation of your rights, any evidence collected could be suppressed, meaning it can’t be used against you in court.
Missed a court appearance in Wisconsin? You’re not alone. If you fail to show up for your scheduled court date, the court will likely issue a “bench warrant” for your arrest.

People often ask how long they can hold someone in jail for a probation violation in Wisconsin. These types of probation holds are commonly referred to as VOP holds, or PO holds. (The two terms are interchangeable.)

It may be possible to stop the DOT from suspending your license after you have been arrested for a DUI. If, after the administrative hearing, the DOT decides to suspend your license, your lawyer may be able to get a court order preventing that suspension.
