Firm: Kuchler & Cotton, S.C.

Brad primarily focuses his practice on criminal defense and criminal appeals. As a former prosecutor specializing in domestic violence, sexual assault, and crimes against children, Brad gained invaluable experience and a deep understanding of the investigative and strategic decision-making processes that come before a criminal charge is ever issued. Brad has seen first-hand the ways in which prosecutors prioritize convictions and quick case resolutions, often at the expense of a thorough, unbiased search for truth and justice. To a career prosecutor, an individual defendant is nothing but the sum of his criminal history.. In addition to his criminal practice, Brad frequently represents victims of domestic violence, stalking, and harassment in seeking restraining orders and injunctions, and defending against retaliatory cross-injunctions.. Brad’s background has taught him that each client is unique and that a holistic and individualized approach to every case is the best way to achieve positive results. No two situations are the same, even for clients who have similar previous convictions. Brad recognizes the importance of knowing the details and nuances of every case and the personal life circumstances of every client. Without these, it is impossible to provide high quality, client-centered representation.
