Know when to contact a Criminal Defense Lawyer in Wisconsin

Selecting the right criminal defense lawyer in Wisconsin is extremely important.  You are always better off with the assistance of an attorney since the legal process can be confusing and intimidating.  With your future on the line, it is in your best interest to make sure that you are helped by the most experienced attorney possible.

Call a Criminal Lawyer If –

  • You are being investigated for a crime.
  • You have been arrested.

Know Your Rights

If you have been arrested, it does not mean that your rights go away. You still have protection against an illegal search according to the Fourth Amendment. You have the right to not answer questions or incriminate yourself under the Fifth Amendment.

However, just because you have rights, does not mean that the police will honor them. You can ask to have an attorney present when being questioned or exercise your right not to speak and incriminate yourself.

Call an Attorney Right Away

If you call our office immediately upon being arrested, we can go to work before charges are ever filed against you. Even if charges are filed, we may have the opportunity to negotiate a plea bargain.  Whether or not you would like us to do so is entirely up to you.  By hiring a criminal attorney right away, these and other options are available to you.

Once retained, we will go to work –

  • Investigating your case
  • Speaking with witnesses
  • Looking for evidence to demonstrate your innocence
  • Gathering documentation that can provide context or show a lack of intent
