Allouez WI Criminal Defense Lawyer

Violent crimes like assault or homicide bring heavy scrutiny and life-altering penalties. We dig into forensic evidence and witness statements to build a defense that hits hard.

• Assault and Battery: Simple battery (Class A misdemeanor) risks 9 months in jail and $10,000 in fines. Aggravated battery (Class H felony) can mean 6 years and $10,000. We probe self-defense or mistaken identity to slash charges.
• Domestic Violence: Often tied to 911 calls or hospital visits, these charges can escalate with restraining orders. We negotiate community service or plea agreements to protect your record.
• Sexual Assault: From first-degree cases with life-threatening force to lesser degrees, we challenge victim statements or DNA evidence to minimize penalties.
• Homicide: First-degree intentional homicide carries life in prison (Class A felony). Reckless homicide risks 25 years and $100,000 (Class D felony). We dissect crime scene analysis to push for lesser charges.

Wisconsin’s OWI laws are brutal. A 2nd DUI brings 5 days to 6 months in jail, $350–$1,100 in fines, and 12–18 months license revocation (misdemeanor). A third OWI carries a penalty of 45 days to 1 year in jail and fines ranging from $600 to $2,000. Our drunk driving defense attacks faulty field sobriety tests, breathalyzer glitches, or invalid traffic stops to save your license or dodge a conviction.
