About Nelson Defense Group
It is important to hire a criminal defense attorney immediately once you’re charged with a crime, because the sooner you get in to see a criminal defense attorney, the sooner we can begin to help you solve your problems. Somebody at Nelson Defense Group can walk you through that process.
We are a criminal defense law firm practicing exclusively in Wisconsin. Our attorneys have built a long record of not guilty verdicts, dismissals, and sentencing victories. Other successful outcomes include reduced charges, suppression of evidence, and successful appeals in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.
Our firm is in the City of Hudson, St. Croix County, and we serve clients throughout Wisconsin, having appeared in nearly every county. Call Nelson Defense Group at 715-386-2694 today for a free initial discussion of your case.

Why Choose Us?
Criminal Defense Is All We Do
We’re different from other attorneys who dabble. We only take criminal defense cases. We don’t practice in Minnesota, and we refuse contracts to prosecute municipal OWI/DUI cases. 100% of our time is dedicated to defending people in Wisconsin against the power of government. We do one thing so we can do it better than anyone else.
Fewer Cases Means More Attention To Our Clients
Even though we’d like to, our firm does not take every case that comes through our door. We are a low-volume office that gives each of our clients — and their cases — the time and attention they deserve. There is no substitute for taking the time needed to explore every avenue to win a case.
You Get The Whole Team — Not Just One Lawyer
When you bring us onboard, we start to work on your case and help you immediately. We’re responsive, attentive, and compassionate. You will receive the best attorney for your case, who will have a full team to support both lawyer and client.
