Kenosha Criminal Defense Attorney

Experienced Criminal Lawyers for Wisconsin

Being charged with a crime is likely one of the most anxiety-inducing and stressful events you will ever experience. You may have already spent some time in jail waiting to see a judge, and you have likely found that it is not a place to which you would like to return. Unfortunately, that is a very real risk when you are facing criminal charges. Misdemeanor offenses can carry up to a year in jail, while some felonies can carry up to life imprisonment. The sooner you begin working with a well-qualified criminal defense attorney, the better your chances of success. An attorney can help prevent missteps in the earliest phases of your case that could prove costly later on.

OWI Lawyer Serving Kenosha County

Operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) is one of the more common offenses people are charged with. While it is usually a misdemeanor, there are some circumstances that can lead to an OWI being charged as a felony, such as repeat offenses or causing an accident. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of defenses that may be available to you - rarely are these cases as foolproof as they are made out to be.

Violent Crimes Attorney for Assault, Domestic Violence, and Murder

Violent crimes are always taken very seriously - these crimes have victims to consider. Courts show little leniency to violent offenders, and a conviction and criminal record could follow you for life. Simple assault and domestic violence are usually charged as misdemeanors. The main difference between these two very similar offenses is the relationship between the alleged victim and the defendant. Some are surprised to learn that they have been charged with the more serious offense of domestic violence after a fight with a roommate or family member.

One of the most severe crimes a person can be charged with is murder. Both first-degree and second-degree murder can result in decades-long prison sentences, while manslaughter can also carry prolonged sentencing. Many murder cases will go to trial, and it is important to consider this likelihood when choosing an attorney to represent you.

Lawyer for Theft Charges

While theft charges are generally less serious than violent crime or drug trafficking, they can still leave a black mark on your permanent criminal record. Theft can be charged as a misdemeanor or as a felony depending on the nature of the theft and the value of stolen goods. Weapons offenses often accompany felony theft charges. It is important to take the matter seriously and find an attorney to defend you.

Attorney for Sex Crime Charges

No other type of crime carries the same level of stigma or incites the same level of community outrage as sex offenses. Whether you were caught in an act of prostitution or accused of sexual assault, there is a lot at stake for you. These charges can ruin lives and make it impossible to find a job or rental housing, or they could even subject you to social ostracization or community harassment. We believe that everyone is entitled to the best legal defense possible, regardless of what they have been accused of. Our goal is to provide the same high-quality representation to every client.
