when the consequences are serious, your defense should be taken seriously

A felony accusation can place your freedom, career, reputation, finances, and future at risk. Felony cases can involve the possibility of significant incarceration and consequences that continue long after the court case itself has ended.

Being charged with a felony, however, is not the same as being convicted of one. The government still bears the burden of proving its case, and the evidence and circumstances surrounding the allegations must be carefully evaluated.

Attorney Nicholas Weege represents individuals facing felony charges throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha, and surrounding communities. He provides direct, individualized representation and helps clients understand both the immediate legal issues and the decisions that may shape the outcome of their case.

defending serious criminal cases

Felony cases can arise from a wide range of allegations and circumstances. Attorney Weege represents clients in felony matters that may involve:

• Drug-related offenses
• Theft and property crimes
• Burglary
• Battery and other offenses involving allegations of violence
• Domestic-abuse-related offenses
• Serious driving and OWI-related offenses
• Probation or extended-supervision matters
• Other felony criminal charges

The classification of a charge is only one part of understanding a felony case. The specific allegations, potential penalties, available evidence, criminal history, and possible collateral consequences all need to be considered when evaluating how to proceed.

 If you have been arrested or cited for a felony offense, contact Attorney Weege at 262-399-7258 to discuss your case and the next steps.

the details matter

A strong defense begins with understanding exactly what evidence the government intends to use and how that evidence was obtained. Depending on the allegations, a felony case may involve police reports, witness statements, body-camera footage, surveillance video, search warrants, forensic evidence, electronic communications, physical evidence, or statements attributed to the accused.

Legal issues may also arise regarding searches, seizures, interrogations, identification procedures, or other actions taken during an investigation.

Attorney Weege carefully reviews the evidence and circumstances of the case to identify factual disputes, evidentiary issues, and potential legal challenges that may affect the defense.

If you are facing a felony charge or are under investigation for a serious criminal offense, contact Attorney Weege at 262-399-7258 to discuss your case and the evidence that may need to be reviewed.

developing the right strategy for your case

There is no single strategy that is appropriate for every felony case. Some cases may present grounds to challenge evidence or seek dismissal of charges. Others may involve negotiations concerning the charges or potential sentence. In other circumstances, preparing the case for trial may be the appropriate course.

Attorney Weege discusses the available options with his clients, explains the potential advantages and risks associated with each, and helps them make informed decisions about how they want to proceed. The decision belongs to the client. The attorney’s role is to provide the information, advice, preparation, and advocacy necessary to make that decision with a clear understanding of what is at stake.

when an alleged violation puts your freedom at risk

For individuals on probation or extended supervision, an alleged violation can result in a hold, detention, or revocation proceedings and may expose the individual to additional incarceration.

Supervision rules can be extensive, and allegations of a violation may involve new criminal charges, failed drug or alcohol testing, missed appointments, prohibited contact, or other claimed violations of supervision.

Attorney Weege represents individuals facing probation and extended-supervision issues and helps clients understand the allegations against them, the revocation process, and the options available for responding.

If you or a loved one is being held because of an alleged supervision violation, speaking with an attorney promptly can help clarify what happens next.
