Practice Areas
Drug Charges – Cases involving controlled substances are heavily prosecuted in Wisconsin, and you face months or even years in prison, substantial fines, and the long-term consequences of a criminal record if convicted. These are crimes involving substances such as methamphetamine, THC or marijuana, heroin, fentanyl, or cocaine. Many times the evidence involved in drug charges can be called into question with the help of an aggressive and knowledgeable Wisconsin criminal defense attorney. Learn more about the charges and penalties you face.
OWI / PAC Charges - Whether you have recently been charged with your first operating while intoxicated (OWI) / operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC), or if you are facing steeper penalties for a subsequent charge, there is always something that can be done to improve your legal situation. OWIs are some of the most common criminal charges in Wisconsin, and the State is not likely to go easy on you for making a mistake because of the risk that impaired drivers pose to others in the community. In Wisconsin, a person can be charged with OWI or PAC if police believe he was driving or operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance, or with a blood alcohol concentration is at least .08 g/100 mL. Find out how OWI cases can be defended and how an experienced Wisconsin OWI lawyer can fight your charges.
Domestic Abuse - Domestic abuse cases often start with a call to the police. If the police come to the scene, and if there was a fight that appears to fall within the definition of domestic abuse, the police are supposed to make an arrest, even if the altercation was mutual or the evidence is weak. This means that an arrest for domestic abuse does not always lead to a conviction. However, you can face serious consequences if you are convicted, including not only criminal penalties but also a social stigma and a negative impact on custody of a child. As a result, you should contact a Wisconsin criminal defense lawyer who will fight for your rights.
Traffic Violations - Did you know that if you pay your traffic ticket, you essentially plead guilty? Traffic tickets come with surcharges, a potential increase in auto insurance rates, and points on your driving record. If you accrue enough points, you could lose your license. An experienced Wisconsin criminal defense attorney will help you get the best result possible if you get a ticket.
Sex Charges – Sex charges are taken very seriously by prosecutors in Wisconsin. There are few types of charges as harrowing and complex as allegations of a sexual nature. These charges can rip apart families, neighborhoods, and communities. If convicted, you face not only jail or prison time and typical criminal penalties, but you also face possibly having to register as a sex offender. This can impact your employment, housing, ability to further your education, and much more. If you have been charged with a sex crime involving a minor, you may not be able to see your children or young family members. An experienced attorney will immediately begin investigating to understand the circumstances and look for flaws in the prosecution’s evidence.
Violent Charges – If you are charged with a violent crime, you may be facing particularly harsh penalties. Often, the testimony of the alleged victim is vital to the prosecution’s case. A defense attorney may be able to argue that the victim is not credible or that the defendant acted in self-defense, among other strategies. One common example of a violent crime is battery. This may be charged when there was actual and intentional physical contact with someone else against that person’s will that resulted in pain or other bodily injury. Usually, battery is charged as a simple misdemeanor, but it may be charged as a felony in some circumstances.
White Collar Charges – Being entrusted to distribute or monitor money or property is a great responsibility, but it comes with risk as well. If you are suspected of stealing that money or property, you can be charged with offenses that are typically referred to as “while collar crime.” You could face jail or prison time, and also the long-term impact of having a criminal record. Having an experienced Wisconsin criminal defense attorney on your side to fight your charges can make a difference in the magnitude of your charges and penalties.
Bail Bonds - Under most circumstances, a defendant is entitled to pre-trial release. However, the court can impose restrictions on a defendant’s release to protect society and ensure their return to court for their next appearance. Although In appropriate circumstances, a judge may require the defendant to post a cash bond before being released. Nathan Oswald can help you navigate the process of getting pre-trial release.
