What Does a Defense Attorney Do?
A defense attorney is a legal professional who works to defend individuals or organizations charged with criminal offenses. Their primary role is representing their clients and protecting their rights throughout the legal process. Some of the tasks a defense attorney performs are evaluating the case, providing legal advice, building a strong defense strategy, negotiating with prosecutors, and representing clients in court.
Ultimately, a criminal defense attorney works to protect their client's legal rights, defend their interests, and acquire the best possible outcome for their case. At our firm, we do just that. No matter the severity of the charges you are facing, our lawyers are ready to fight for you. Our team at West & Dunn brings a vast amount of experience to the table. We have assisted hundreds of individuals charged in criminal cases in state and federal courts.
Our litigators are extensively familiar with how to handle criminal traffic matters, DUI offenses, and more. Many of our attorneys also serve as members of the Critical Response Team for the U.S. Concealed Carry Association, so do not hesitate to reach out when you've been criminally charged after acting in self-defense.

Understanding Wisconsin's DUI Laws
“Driving under the influence” is a particularly serious offense that is aggressively prosecuted in Wisconsin. You can be charged with DUI if your driving ability is impaired by a controlled substance and/or your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) meets or exceeds 0.08%.
Even if your BAC is below the legal limit, a law enforcement officer can still arrest you for DUI if they determine your driving has been compromised by drugs or alcohol.
Let Us Fight Your Wisconsin DUI Charges
A first-time offender could face hundreds of dollars of fines, a nine-month license revocation, and drug and alcohol counseling, if convicted. Repeat offenders will face even stiffer penalties, including potentially years of prison time.
Our team knows how to handle DUI cases and can provide you with the representation you need when facing these charges. We are ready to go to trial and will explore every possible legal strategy that can help secure a favorable outcome.
