A felony conviction comes with serious life-changing consequences. At best, you could get formal probation with little or no jail time but in the worst case scenario, punishment could include a state prison term of from 16 months all the way up to life behind bars. A felony conviction also comes with collateral consequences. such as the loss of a business or professional license, loss of employment, travel restrictions to firearms ban.
Misdemeanors are called the "lesser" crimes however that is not always true. For professionals and every day working people a misdemeanor charge might be the only instance in their lives when they get accused of a crime. For this reason a misdemeanor charge can cause increased anxiety, worry and concern, not to mention the possibility of six (6) months to a year in jail, plus court costs, fines and restitution.
A drunk driving conviction will automatically cause your driver’s license to be revoked, and depending on your criminal and driving history, you could be faced with car forfeiture and prison time. Even worse, a DWI, DUI or OWI is one of the most difficult criminal cases to defend, because it is typically based on an officer’s direct observation, bolstered in many cases by so-called “objective” chemical testing.
Remember, Your Charges Are Not A Conviction!
You Need An Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney
When you are arrested for possession of any form of illegal drug, such as marijuana (cannabis), cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, crack (rock cocaine), ecstasy or other illegal drugs defined as controlled substances under Wisconsin or Minnesota law, you may face serious penalties, including incarceration in county jail or state prison, fines and a misdemeanor or felony conviction. You could be facing a small fine or up to $200,000 in fines and several years in prison.
Domestic violence cases are charged more frequently than almost every other offense in the criminal justice system. Under Wisconsin law, there is a mandatory arrest requirement whenever the police respond to a domestic violence call. Even if the person who called 911 recants their allegation, exhibits no signs of injury or begs the police not to arrest, the arrest will be made. The reality is that these same laws have victimized many innocent people.
The term “habitual offender” may imply that the person has been convicted of the same crime many times, but it may also refer to a person who has many convictions for different crimes on their record. Habitual offenders may be exposed to harsher legal penalties than a first-time offender. That is, having a criminal record involving many convictions may result in greater criminal penalties than what is normally indicated in criminal statutes.
