Top best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Waukesha | 11 available

My first trial after graduating law school was a homicide case and we achieved a not guilty verdict. Since then, our firm has achieved innumerable dismissials and acquittals. We have won cases that seem unwinable. We have won cases when clients have confessed to crimes. In one very remarkable case, one of our clients confessed to a crime and pleaded guilty with another lawyer. After coming to us for a second opinion we were able to withdraw his guilty plea, go to trial, and convince a jury of his innocence despite the fact that he confessed his guilt to the police.. We have won every type of case you could imagine. Many of our wins occur even before charges are issued - countless times we are hired immediately after a client is arrested and we are often able to convince prosecutors to drop or reduce the case before charges are ever issued. When we can't beat the case, we are usually able to negotiate a favorable settlement. Myself, and my team, work tirelessly to protect your rights. We take what we do seriously, because lives and freedom are at stake. When you read our reviews you are reading real life stories of people who have had their lives changed for the better, because of their contact with our firm.. I have spent my life working for the underdog and the less fortunate. I come from humble blue-collar roots. I spent ten years driving garbage truck, putting myself through college and law school. During law school, I moved to East Africa and spent a summer representing war crime victims in Eritrea. After law school I have spent every minute of my professional career representing my clients with dilgence and care. If you choose to hire me as your lawyer, you will receive my unwavering committment to handle your case with extraordinary effort.

Married and 5 children. Marathon runner (10) (Charitable organizations, Lymphoma and Leukemia Society, Special Olympics). As the previous District Attorney of Waukesha County, WI I handled virtually every criminal case you can imagine from police executions, murders, sex assault, robbery, narcotics, corrpution, traffic, DWI, open records/meetings, elections and numerous other areas. I ran for Attorney General of Wisconsin in 2006 and was unsuccessful and left the DIstrict Attorney's office, entering into private practice.  I was the recepient of numerous state and federal awards and citations during my service as District Attorney and continue my involvement in the community today.

I practice as a criminal defense lawyer because I believe that the rights of all depend on the rights of one. As a result, each person's rights must be vigilantly safeguarded against the powers of the state. An unfettered state results in the very tyranny our Founding Fathers sought to protect us against with the Constitution.. I have devoted the last 30 years of my life as an attorney to this pursuit. With the law firm of Walden & Schuster, S.C., I continue to do so for clients just like you throughout the Waukesha County area in a wide variety of criminal defense matters, including DUI, domestic violence, juvenile cases and drug-related charges.. In doing so, I follow a baseline philosophy: effective legal representation depends on individualized services. For that reason, I have intentionally structured my legal practice in order to enable me to focus on you, the individual.. My focus on each individual client enables me to learn the facts that can determine the outcome of your case. It also means I can help you understand the legal options available in your particular case so you can choose from them intelligently and with confidence whatever the circumstances. Your confidence will stem from the knowledge that my experience means I hold a legal judgment that has been tried and tested many, many times, often by situations very similar to the situation now facing you.

I handle all types of criminal defense.  I have spent many years understanding and defending the most difficult of cases - alleged child abuse.  These cases are very difficult to defend because it requires an understanding of the medical aspects of the case.  I bring this experience and knowledge to your case, along with a great number of physicians who assist me.  If you have been falsely accused of abusing your child, please feel free to give me a call to discuss the facts of your case.. In addition, I handle a significant number of sexual assault allegation cases. I have a significant number of sexual assault trial wins. Recently. the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (WACDL) named an award after me. That award is given to attorneys who get a not guilty verdict at trial on a felony sexual assault. As a firm, we are highly skilled in defending allegations of sexual assault.. We are also a very experienced federal defense firm.  Whether you or a loved one have been charged with a drug conspiracy, human trafficking or any other federal charge, call me or my partner Anthony Cotton.. I have been a lawyer since 1995.  I went back to school after my children entered grade school.  I am proud to practice with my son and partner, Anthony Cotton.  We are a family orientated firm and we strive to give close and personal attention to all our clients.  We know that a criminal allegation affects not only the accused, but his or her entire family.  We will be honored and happy to help you.
