If you face a criminal charge in Wisconsin, whether it is a misdemeanor such as a first-time drunk driving offense, or a felony such as sexual assault or drug trafficking, it is critical to enlist the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney. Conviction of a crime can negatively affect your employment opportunities, your educational opportunities and your personal life.
