        Attorney Tracey A. Wood
        Regarded for her legal experience
        Wisconsin native and attorney, Tracey A. Wood is a shareholder with the Madison criminal defense firm of Van Wagner & Wood. With published Wisconsin and federal wins, Attorney Wood's victories are as notable as they are numerous - there was her acquittal in the largest military theft case ever charged in Wisconsin, a post-conviction win that freed a woman from a 10-year long prison sentence, a recent appellate victory that reversed a refusal, a recent 4th OWI Test Reversal by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, a recent OWI conviction overturned (defining 'operating' under Wisconsin laws) and numerous drunk driving dismissals, acquittals and appellate wins. 
        Authority on Drunk Driving Defenses & Laws
        As the immediate past president of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (WACDL), Wisconsin's first ever attorney appointed to the board of regents for the National College for DUI Defense (as well as the first female lawyer to serve on that board), contributing author to the DUI defense lawyer's bible, DUI Defense, by the reknown Attorney Lawrence Taylor, author of Challenging Prior Under Influence Convictions (and victorious defense lawyer in numerous cases of prior OWI convictions) and many legal journal commentaries such as the article on Arizona v. Grant, 129 S. Ct. 1710 (2009) for the Wisconsin Law Journal, Attorney Tracey Wood is widely regarded as an authority on drunk driving laws and defenses. 
        An Undeniably Successful Criminal Defense Record
        Attorney Wood is also well known for her defense of people charged with serious felony crimes by both Wisconsin state and Federal prosecutors. She successfully litigated United States v. Andrez Perez, 50 F. 3d 396 7th cir. (1995). Tracey's most famous trial win to date was in the federal Fort McCoy military vehicle theft case which received national media coverage and even received a nod from Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. 
        Distinguished Lawyer
        Attorney Tracey Wood is a repeated recipient of the distinguishing Wisconsin Super Lawyers award, and this year named to the Top 25 Women in Law by Super Lawyers. She has repeatedly been named one of a handful of Madison's Best Criminal Defense Lawyers. 
        Approved by highest courts
        Attorney Tracey A. Wood is admitted to the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Wisconsin, U.S. District Court Western District of Wisconsin, and the U.S. Court of Appeals 7th Circuit.

        legal community leader
        She is a member of the board of directors for WACDL, a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), and past president of the Dane County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. 
        Analyst - Guest Speaker - Legal Instructor

For the recent National College for DUI Defense symposium held at Harvard Law School, Attorney Wood taught courses on How To Present Effective Openings and Closings, How To Cross Examine The State's Chemical Test Expert, and How To Do An Effective Direct Examination of the Defense Expert.
