We see the person behind the charges.

Most people never think about needing a defense, until the moment everything changes. That's where we come in. The sooner you speak with us, the sooner we can help you.

We defend people.

People with lives, families, and futures. People whose worst day shouldn’t define them. Your fight is our fight.

We give you a voice.

We believe every person deserves the right to tell their story—to be heard and seen. Nothing matters more than defending you.

We fight for justice.

We fight against the rush to judgement. We defend your liberty, we defend your story, and we defend your future.

Our focus is criminal defense in Wisconsin.

Unlike attorneys who practice in multiple areas of law, we focus exclusively on criminal defense in Wisconsin. This singular focus makes us better, sharper, and more prepared. With over 100,000 hours of focused criminal defense work, we are masters of the craft. Because we do one thing and we do it better than anyone else.

Not Guilty, means everything.

Speak with a Nelson Defense Group Criminal Defense Attorney today.
The sooner you act, the more options you have.

Being charged with a crime is serious.

Nelson Defense Group will move quickly to protect your rights and your future, building a defense strategy designed around you, not a template. We work for clients in Wisconsin, serving the communities of Hudson, Eau Claire, LaCrosse, St. Croix County, Pierce County, Dunn County, Polk County, NW Wisconsin and more.

 

Like a writer shaping a story, we step in when the system tries to write the ending for you. The prosecution builds its case to convict, to persuade, to close the book before you’ve had a chance to speak. But we believe every person deserves the right to tell their own story, to be heard, seen, and defended with a defense team protecting you and your rights.

Successful Outcomes

Sex Crimes: Not Guilty

College student was charged with three counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault and one count of Battery. On day three of jury trial, the Judge dismissed one count of Sexual Assault because the State could not meet its burden. After four days of trial, the jurors took less than 30 minutes to find him not guilty of all charges.

Act was consensual.

OWI/DUI: Not Guilty

OWI with a minor child in the vehicle — Father charged with driving drunk with son in car.

The father had not recently driven the vehicle, as it was inoperable. Drinking occurred after the car broke down while he was fixing it.

Homicide: Not Guilty

Pierce County mother charged with three counts of felony Vehicular Homicide and one misdemeanor charge of Reckless Driving after a head on collision resulted in the death of three children. Found “not guilty” on all charges by a jury, after just two hours of deliberation.

The accident was a result of weather and tires, not texting while driving.

Justice isn't given, it's fought for.

A case isn’t just about facts; it’s about how those facts are framed, how the details unfold, how the truth is told. We don’t let fear, pressure, or power decide the outcome. We stand in the way, we push back against the rush to judgment, and we defend your story of innocence.
