I take great pride in making sure I place my client's interest before my own. This philosophy includes keeping a low profile. If I am always in the newspaper or on television in an attempt to get "face time" and publicity it means that you are getting publicity. In the area of criminal defense, the less publicity you get, the less damage you will receive to your reputation. Quiet, effective and discreet representation is my goal. My clients have appreciated this approach and it is my promise to represent you aggressively, discreetly and effectively.

Kimberly Zhang

Firm: Kim Zhang Attorney at Law

430 Ahnaip St. , Menasha , Wisconsin 54952

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I am a Fox Valley attorney that focuses primarily on criminal partner and I believe everyone deserves to be heard. Our practice will always want to hear your side of the story and make sure you know all of your options moving forward. I will zealously advocate to protect your rights and get the best outcome possible for your case. Trials don't scare me, and if you want your case to go to trial I will take it there and put your best defense forward. While I will never lie to you about your chances at trial I understand it's not always about "winning." Often times a trial can be the only way for the whole story to get out there and the whole story can drastically change how a judge sees your case.. People are complex and varied and it's important for me as a lawyer to understand how who you are plays into whatever happened so I can show that to the State and to the Court. Prior to attending law school I was a Sign Langage interpreter. This allowed me learn how much culture and personal history can play a role in what we say and how we act. The exposure to people from all walks of life has been invaluable to me as I constantly work to avoid presumptions of my clients or fellow lawyers. I will work to make sure we understand each other, never assuming that we are saying the same thing because we are using similar words. My goal is for you to know you were heard and know you took your best shot for the outcome you wanted.

Wi misdemeanor charges | Jul 24, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Hopefully I can ask this - location: in SE Wisconsin. My boyfriend got himself into some trouble this past weekend after golf. He was pulled over for speeding while passing someone who sped up as he was trying to pass, 74 mph in a 55. He had just finished a morning of golf. They had a special for 5 beers for $20 on the 13th hole so he bought them. About an hour later, he headed home. Came up on someone who was doing 45 in a 55. Went to pass them in a passing zone and they sped up as he was trying to pass so he hammered on it. Cop came over the hill and clocked him doing 74 in a 55. My bf saw the cop turn around quickly and he pulled over before the lights even came on. Cop came up to the passenger window and said he smelt alcohol and asked if he had been drinking - my boyfriend said yes and admitted to having 4 beers. He really screwed himself by having the 5th beer undrank but open in the side of the door. He also had his handgun in the side of the door without a concealed carry permit, and again he told the cop that he had it, where it was etc, the cop had him step out of the vehicle. Asked to breathalyze him. My bf agreed and blew a .071, and then 4 minutes later per the sheet blew a…
