OWI 4 years Ago in North Dakota Now Revoking New WI DL and CDL

What do I do?    I had a DUI in North Dakota in December of 2016. I live in Wisconsin. The penalty was 90 days loss of license. Wisconsin gave me my license back after 90 days and I never had SR22 insurance. I can’t get my CDL back until I carry that for a year. Except now my insurance company is dropping coverage because they found out about my DUI that’s almost 4 years old. Wisconsin messed up and gave me my license. . .

Since your problems all started in N. Dakota, you will need to go back there to solve them, and it may not be easy. Reopening is rarely allowed on any criminal cases, but particularly not on OWI cases, so this would be an extra a tall order. With any luck, however, there might be some easy requirements which you can still now satisfy in order to reduce your revocation time, such as an AODA assessment and related rehab, but I would post this under North Dakota law hoping for better guidance. if you have pending WI charges like OAR relating to this, however, you should retain experienced WI counsel as soon as possible, since that offense usually carries substantial jail when the reason for the revocation is an OWI related conviction. either way, I wish you the best of luck.
