My areas of practice are in litigation-civil rights/municipal and employment, and I have practiced at all levels in both state and federal court.. I grew up just outside Madison, Wisconsin and I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After completing my studies at the UW, I was accepted into the Hansard Scholars program and I moved to London where I served as an intern in the British Parliament.  After fulfilling a bucketlist goal of mine to travel Europe, I headed to Milwaukee to enroll at Marquette University Law School.. My years in law school were some of the most rewarding-and sometimes stressful-years of my life. Not only did I learn the true definitions of hard-work and critical thinking, but I also gained my independence and the confidence to assert myself through both writing and oral advocacy. While at Marquette, I served on the Marquette Law Review. I also competed in the National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition in California, where I recieved an award for the competition's third-best respondent's brief.  I also served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Dennis P. Moroney and interned in the legal department at Kohler Co.. I now live in Milwaukee, although I travel back to Madison often. I love college basketball and football (go Badgers!) and the NFL (go Packers!). I also enjoy traveling as much as I can, reading and writing, and spending time with family and friends.

I vigorously work towards positive outcomes for my clients. There are no guarantees in the legal world, but I will do the work necessary to achieve your goals and remove uncertainty from the equation. Whether you have been injured, sued, or have a business related matter, please contact me today and I will make sure you are on the right track.. Lately I have been able to help a number of buyers and sellers of real estate avoid real estate commissions and successfully sell or purchase a property. If you are thinking of going without a broker, I am would be more than happy to assist in your transaction.

I represent clients facing serious felony and misdemeanor charges. Throughout my career, I have obtained numerous reductions in charges and outright dismissals. Criminal law is more than just accepting the State's plea deal.. Criminal charges are serious and can have life altering consequences if convicted. A criminal conviction can take away your ability to drive a vehicle, prevent you from owning a firearm, restrict employment, and land you in prison or jail.  Criminal convictions also carry steep fines that can be financially devastating to you and your family.. Oftentimes, clients hire me during the investigation stage of their case before charges are even brought and I have frequently prevented charges from being formally filed.  In the event the State does proceed with formal charges, I will investigate your case fully and discuss with you all possible defense options to give you the best opportunity for success.

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.
