If you’re facing criminal charges in Wisconsin, such as a white collar crime, OWI, fraud, or embezzlement, you will want someone on your side that is going to fight aggressively for your freedom.
After you have been charged, it is vital that you do your research to ensure you are getting the best representation for your circumstances. Hiring the first attorney that returns your phone call, may not be in your best interest. As with any major life event, get second opinions - if you personally know someone that went through a similar experience, ask who they used and if they would recommend them. Second, hiring an attorney that knows the area of the crime well and has experience with the prosecutor can only be a benefit. An attorney that is able to talk to the police and gather all of the facts will be better prepared if there is a trial. Lastly, when choosing the attorney that will defend your rights, ask for testimonials and past cases. If the attorney does not have a proven track record, you should not hope your case will be their victory.

Southworth and Stamman have the experience and know-how to defend you and your reputation before or after being formally accused of the supposed crime. The first step in defending and protecting your rights is talking to one of our lawyers. As former prosecutors, we know how to navigate through the Wisconsin legal system and will work on your behalf towards the best possible outcome for your individual case. Talking to a law enforcement officer before consulting a lawyer, can result in an admission of guilt as anything you say can be used against you. Having the guidance and support of a trusted and skilled defense attorney can help you make the right choices. Once you’ve spoken with one of our defense representatives, we can begin building a case around the facts and unveiling, often times, a lengthy paper trail that can help prove your innocence. Being upfront and forthcoming with the facts can help ease the burden of being accused.

If the police are called to a situation regarding domestic violence, whether it is between spouses, dating partner, a child, or a close relation an arrest will almost always be made. In the heat of the moment, you may feel inclined to defend yourself and try to explain the situation, but as professionals, we would advise you to remain silent and wait until after you have spoken with an attorney before talking to the police. The decisions and steps you take immediately following an arrest or abuse accusation can mean the difference between a conviction and freedom. Contacting Southworth and Stamman will ensure the courts will hear your side of the story and are assumed innocent until proven guilty.
