Criminal Defense Attorney in Amery, Polk County

Violent crime charges can include:

The penalties vary widely. For example, simple battery is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 9 months in jail, while aggravated battery is a Class E felony that carries up to 15 years in prison. The difference in sentencing can define your future. That’s why we fight to get charges reduced—or dismissed altogether.

If you're facing a homicide charge, you may be confronting the possibility of life in prison. We understand how high the stakes are. We will examine every flaw in the prosecution’s case and fight relentlessly to protect your rights and your life.

Sex crime accusations can carry lifelong consequences, including mandatory registration as a sex offender. These charges include:

Our team has a proven record of success in reducing or dismissing serious sex crime charges. We’ve had first-degree sexual assault charges amended to lesser offenses like disorderly conduct. In many cases, we’ve achieved complete dismissals. Every person deserves a fair defense—especially when the consequences are so serious.

Drug charges in Wisconsin may include:

Drug convictions can result in jail time, loss of employment, and a permanent record. Our approach begins with challenging the legality of the search or seizure. If your constitutional rights were violated, we’ll move to suppress that evidence. If suppression isn’t possible, we will challenge ownership, lab testing of the substance, and intent to distribute.

We are thorough. We are strategic. We don’t back down.
