Wisconsin Drug Crime Attorney Fighting For Your Freedom
Last updated on March 27, 2026
Law enforcement officials throughout Wisconsin aggressively pursue drug crime arrests, and prosecutors often seek the harshest possible penalties. If someone has been arrested for a drug crime in Wisconsin, it is important to speak with a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
At Southworth Law Office, LLC, clients are defended against a broad range of drug charges, including:
- Possession
- Distribution
- Sales
- Trafficking
- Manufacturing
- Cultivation
With a law office in Wisconsin Dells, the firm serves clients throughout Central Wisconsin, as well as those visiting from other states. The firm’s defense attorney, Scott Southworth, is a former prosecutor. Having worked from the prosecution side, the attorney is positioned to anticipate and counter the strategies commonly used against drug crime defendants. Legal representation is available for drug allegations involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other controlled substances.
Prescription Drug Crimes
Prescription drug cases are prosecuted aggressively in Wisconsin, and charges can stem from situations that begin as misunderstandings or routine traffic stops. Southworth Law Office, LLC, defends clients accused of possessing pills without a valid prescription, possessing prescription medication not prescribed to them or having medication outside its original container. Prosecutors may also pursue allegations involving “doctor shopping,” obtaining prescriptions through deception, or using altered or counterfeit prescription forms. Even sharing a few pills with a friend or family member can be treated as illegal distribution. Investigations may involve pharmacy records, electronic prescribing data, text messages and social media.
The firm’s attorney handles allegations involving opioids and painkillers such as OxyContin and oxycodone, as well as benzodiazepines like Valium and stimulants such as Adderall. Representation is also provided for related charges, including prescription fraud, identity theft, forgery and possession with intent to deliver. From the outset, the defense focuses on issues such as unlawful searches, weak identification of the substance, gaps in the chain of custody and whether the state can prove knowledge and intent beyond a reasonable doubt.
