Waukesha County Criminal Defense Attorneys

Lawyers Defend Clients on Drug, Violent Crimes, and Theft Charges in Brookfield, New Berlin and Muskego

When an individual is arrested and charged with a crime, the U.S. Constitution guarantees that person the right to an attorney. At Bucher, Wolff & Sonderhouse, LLP, we know that having the right to an attorney is not the same thing as having the right attorney. The lawyer and the law firm you choose to represent you in a criminal matter can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of your case. With this in mind, it is important to select an attorney who is skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable about the local court system.

At our firm, we represent clients throughout southeastern Wisconsin in all types of criminal cases. Our lawyers have backgrounds that include service as a police officer and a detective, so we understand the procedures and protocols that law enforcement entities will often employ. In addition, we have over 40 years of combined experience in the practice of criminal law and a long history of success for our clients. If you have been charged with a crime, we are equipped to provide the trusted guidance you need and the top-quality representation you deserve.

Skilled Counsel for Criminal Defendants in Muskego and New Berlin

While some criminal offenses are more serious than others, there is no such thing as a minor criminal charge. A conviction on any charge could affect the rest of your life. Criminal penalties often include expensive fines, periods of probation, and possible incarceration, but the consequences of a conviction often reach even further. You could be left with a permanent criminal record that could make it harder for you to get a good job, find an affordable place to live, or even qualify for some education programs.

At Bucher, Wolff & Sonderhouse, LLP, our attorneys handle a full range of criminal matters, including misdemeanor and felony charges related to:

• Drunk driving, including operating while intoxicated (OWI), driving under the influence (DUI), and boating under the influence (BUI);
• Drug offenses, including drug possession, manufacture, distribution, and delivery;
• Theft crimes, including shoplifting and retail theft, identity theft, and fraud-related offenses;
• Violent crimes, including battery, domestic violence, stalking, and harassment;
• Weapons and firearms violations, including illegal possession of a firearm;
• Juvenile offenses, including underage drinking and vandalism; and
• Traffic offenses, including speeding, reckless driving, and other moving violations.

We can also help you get your driver's license reinstated if it has been suspended due to an OWI charge or multiple traffic violations.
