Criminal Law
Drug Crimes Review
The “War on Drugs” has evolved over time. Several years ago, the criminal justice system shifted from taking a hard line approach on drug offenses to focusing more on rehabilitation. However, due to the recent increase in prescription drug abuse and heroin addiction, there has been another shift in the area of drug enforcement. The reason is simple: the number of deaths on account of prescription drug abuse and heroin use has increased dramatically. As a result, law enforcement is once again taking a more aggressive approach on drug cases and has stepped up their efforts to arrest not only drug dealers, but also drug users. This often results in people who are suffering from controlled substance abuse getting caught up in the dangerous world of drug dealing by agreeing to become confidential informants for the police. More times than not, confidential informants do not realize what they are getting themselves into and oftentimes are shocked when law enforcement does not live up to their end of the bargain.

Domestic Abuse
Battery
Disorderly Conduct
Domestic violence is a serious charge is aggressively prosecuted in Wisconsin. Often times, both the victim and defendant are unaware that once the State of Wisconsin becomes involved, what was once a personal affair between a couple is taken out of their hands. First, Wisconsin has a mandatory arrest law. This means that law enforcement officers must arrest someone when called for a domestic violence situation. Second, prosecutors can, and often do, pursue domestic violence charges despite the victim’s request to have the charges dismissed. Unfortunately, the assumption is that victims who are asking charges to be dropped are simply trying to protect their loved one, rather than that they are indicating that the incident did not occur as described in police reports.
A key problem is that these situations are rarely black and white. Emotions are usually running high, things may get exaggerated by the other party, or issues of self-defense may exist.
Domestic violence cases have implications for families that go far beyond any single incident. A criminal conviction for a domestic violence related offense can result in harsh punishments not to mention unforeseen consequences, such as the inability to have contact with loved ones for extended periods of time and the loss of the right to ever possess a firearm again. In addition, a domestic violence conviction could also negatively impact child placement issues in family court resulting in reduction or loss of parental access to their child.
