If you are facing criminal charges in Mt. Pleasant, the most urgent issue to resolve is finding a Mt. Pleasant criminal defense lawyer that you can trust, and who will do everything possible legally to protect you. There is one person who stands between you and a conviction – your criminal attorney. At Cafferty & Scheidegger, S.C., we offer exceptional qualifications and credentials. Our firm’s founder, Patrick K. Cafferty is listed in Best Lawyers in America from 2012-2015, has a 10.0 Superb rating from Avvo, and is rated AV Preeminent™ by Martindale-Hubbell®.
He has garnered a reputation for excellence in his criminal defense work, and is respected for his many victories in cases that appeared difficult to resolve As one of the area’s most respected litigators, you can expect the highest quality representation for your case. Mr. Cafferty is admitted to practice in both state and federal courts, and often serves as defense counsel in complex federal cases involving fraud, RICO offenses, criminal accusations of money laundering and other white collar offenses.
The first step to take is to meet with us, and let us review the facts in your case, so we can advise you about what can be done to help you. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system is geared to convict, and the prosecution has almost unlimited resources to call upon, including law enforcement, state labs, crime investigation units and others. It will require a powerful attorney with access to the most respected professional resources to craft a defense case that can resolve your case in the best manner possible.
A conviction is a life-changing event, even in a misdemeanor charge. The firm represents people charged with domestic violence offenses, drug charges, probation violations, white collar crimes, all types of federal crimes, OWI, as well as theft crimes, sex crimes and violent crimes, from misdemeanor assault to the most serious criminal charges, homicide or manslaughter. Call now and speak with us on a confidential basis. When your freedom could be lost and you are facing charges, the quality and experience of your defense lawyer is the most important factor in the outcome of your case.
Once you have been charged, or become aware that you are the target of a police investigation into a serious crime, you must be extremely careful. You may believe that it is helpful to agree to interviews with investigators, or allow access to your home or office. Never engage in conversations with law enforcement without getting legal representation to protect you. How your case is managed in the early stages can have a significant impact on whether you are ultimately charged with a crime, or what level of charges are filed against you. We handle every detail of our defense cases professionally, and our primary concern is protecting your rights. Connect with us immediately after your arrest, or if you are contacted by police investigators in a criminal case. Speak to a state or federal criminal defense lawyer today.
Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin was first established in 1842. The area was first settled by farmers who worked the fertile soil found along the western shores of the Root River. The first town hall was built in 1890, and in 1949, city leaders decided to build a new facility. The area was incorporated in September 2003 and officially became the Village of Mount Pleasant. The beautiful location is one of the most appealing aspects of the village, and the close proximity to Milwaukee has led to Mt. Pleasant becoming one of the fastest growing communities in the state. The area is served by the Mount Pleasant Police Department, and criminal charges are addressed in state or federal court.
Connect with our firm immediately if you are facing charges – we are prepared to review the facts in your case and advise you of the options that could help you fight to avoid conviction.
