Neenah and Appleton: Defense Lawyers for Drug Charges Cases
In Wisconsin, there is one simple reason to hire a criminal defense lawyer to fight back against criminal drug charges. In the arena of drug charges, Wisconsin has extremely strict repeat offender laws. A basic misdemeanor offense like simple possession of marijuana can result in repeat offender felony charges if you are ever again arrested on drug-related charges.
Don't let a one-time mistake follow you for the rest of the life. Retain a criminal defense lawyer — even if the penalty seems to be a minor fine. The actual penalties are much greater:
- Your next drug charge arrest, even for simple possession, could be automatically charged as a felony
- Any drug charges conviction can bar you from receiving federal financial assistance, including college loans and access to subsidized housing like Section 8
- Any member of the public can view your criminal record on a public Web site operated by the Wisconsin Consolidated Court Automation Programs (CCAP) and learn you were convicted of any drug-related charges
