What to Expect When You Work With a Hamilton Criminal Defense Attorney

Hiring Nelson Defense Group means gaining a team dedicated to defending your story with integrity and skill. Your attorney will:

  • Thoroughly review the evidence and challenge weak or unlawful aspects of the prosecution’s case.
  • Conduct an independent investigation to uncover facts others may have missed.
  • Develop a defense strategy that reframes your story and highlights your humanity.

Why a Plea Deal Isn’t Always the Right Answer in Hamilton, Wisconsin

Pressure to accept a plea bargain can come quickly. Prosecutors want a win, some lawyers want a fast resolution—but you deserve more than expedience.

 

Pleading guilty, even to a lesser charge, can have long-term consequences, including:

  • A permanent criminal record
  • Professional setbacks or job loss
  • Immigration issues
  • Loss of future opportunities

 

We ensure you understand every possible outcome and fight to create the best possible defense.

We believe your life is worth defending—especially when the system tries to reduce it to a single incident.

Who Can Be Charged With OWI in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin law prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or controlled substances. Adults over 21 can be arrested at a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or if impairment is suspected. Drivers under 21 are subject to zero-tolerance rules, and repeat offenders face stricter thresholds.
