Biography Submit listing

A true Wisconsin native, Attorney Wood earned her undergraduate degree from Marquette University and her law degree from the University of Wisconsin. From the beginning of her legal career, Attorney Wood dedicated herself to defending OWI cases—allowing her to gain valuable experience and insights that are used to help her clients. Attorney Wood is the first Wisconsin attorney to serve on the Board of Regents for the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD) held at Harvard Law School, an organization devoted to furthering education for attorneys in this field of law. She is also a frequent speaker at educational symposiums sponsored by the NCDD and other criminal defense organizations. Her other professional memberships include the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (of which she served as President) and the Wisconsin State Bar. The author of several articles regarding drunk driving, including "Challenging Prior under the Influence Convictions," Attorney Wood is a contributing author of "Drunk Driving Defense," by Lawrence Taylor and Stephen Oberman. This definitive guide to defending OWI cases is widely referenced by other attorneys looking to gain insights on the most effective defense strategies. Because of her achievements in OWI defense, Attorney Wood has been named a Wisconsin SuperLawyer seven years in a row, and was even named to that Organization’s Top Female Criminal Defense/DUI Defense Attorney list. She was singled out for a profile in Milwaukee and Madison Magazines for her criminal, appellate, and drunk driving defense work. She has also been listed as one of Madison's Best Criminal Defense Lawyers—an honor decided by a survey of her peers—several times.

What sets your firm apart from other OWI firms in Wisconsin?
Attorney Tracey Wood is among the most experienced OWI defense attorneys in the state of Wisconsin. Her impressive resume of case wins is the result of extensive training and a dedication to her practice. Ms. Wood was the first Regent from Wisconsin to be appointed to the National College for DUI Defense and is the first attorney in Wisconsin to become a certified field sobriety test instructor. She often teaches other lawyers at the state level and nationally how to handle field sobriety cases. Ms. Wood and the firm scored another first with a successful Collateral Attack case in 1995, challenging a previous ruling against a client who was not represented in court. This win and the subsequent article that Ms. Wood published on the case remains one of the most effective forms of defense for many attorneys. It is her depth of knowledge as well as her breadth of experience that sets Tracey Wood apart from other OWI defense attorneys.

What are some of your recent Wisconsin OWI case wins?
The team at Tracey Wood & Associates has an extensive list of case wins, spanning many years of practice in the fields of OWI and criminal defense. Recently, the firm won two cases involving improper police stops, one for a client who was improperly held during a suspected burglary and the other for an OWI stop. The firm also recently handled an appeal for another attorney's client who was convicted of an OMVWI while sitting in her parked car. Tracey Wood & Associates won the appeal. Another recent success involved a client who was refused a second breath test at the time of her OWI arrest. Tracey Wood & Associates was able to have the results of her blood test results suppressed in her case. The firm has also acquired successful outcomes for clients facing multiple OWI charges, which resulted in dramatically decreased penalties. If you are facing an OWI charge, the attorneys at Tracey Wood & Associates can help.

What are the penalties for first offense OWI in Wisconsin?
Even a first-offense OWI is considered a serious infraction in the State of Wisconsin. As such, a first-offense conviction is riddled with costly consequences. If you are convicted, you face a license revocation of six to nine months, and a fine ranging from $150 to $300. If your blood alcohol content was above 0.15%, you will be required to have an ignition interlock device, or IID, installed in your vehicle, at your expense, for up to one year. If there was a minor under the age of 16 in the vehicle at the time of your arrest, you may be sentenced to a jail term of five to six months. You will also be responsible for a fine ranging from $350 to $1,100 and will be required to have an IID installed in your vehicle for 12 to 18 months. If your OWI resulted in an injury of another person, your fines will range from $300 to $25,000 and you can face up to 12.5 years in prison. If the OWI resulted in death, you will be responsible for a fine of up to $100,000 and may spend up to 25 years in prison. A first-offense OWI will permanently remain on your driving record. If you are facing a first-offense OWI, working with an experienced OWI defense attorney is one of the best things you can do to protect your rights.

Are there any other Wisconsin acronyms that you can think of that confuse people?
In the State of Wisconsin, drunk drivers are charged with an OWI, which stands for operating while intoxicated. This charge is the same as an OUI, DWI or DUI in other states. Another common acronym in Wisconsin is the charge of OMVWI, which stands for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant. For more information about these charges or for a free, no obligation review of your case, visit http://www.wisconsinowilaws.net/wisconsinowiacronyms.html.
