Madison Criminal Law Attorney

When you have been accused of a crime, it is critical to take action as soon as possible. Prosecutors begin working on your case from day one. Quick action gives your criminal defense attorney the time to prepare an equally strong defense — to take effective action designed to achieve the best possible results in Wisconsin courts.

At the Nicholson Law Office, LLC, in Madison, we take aggressive action from the moment we take your case until matters are favorably resolved. This approach has helped us build a record of success that stands on its own. We have won acquittals at jury trials in even the most complex and high-stakes criminal cases, including sex crimes, such as sexual assault and rape, violent crimes and weapons offenses in Wisconsin state courts.

We have also received verdicts on lesser included offenses, sparing clients of the lifetime stigma of felony convictions, and in one instance, avoiding a mandatory life sentence associated with a charge of first degree intentional homicide. Our Wisconsin law firm also handles divorce and child custody matters, often when these matters overlap with criminal law matters such as domestic violence.

Our founding attorney, Jessa Nicholson, has a reputation as a skilled advocate and a record of success. She is an experienced trial lawyer who takes forceful action. Many of our clients come to us on referral from other attorneys, former jurors, judges or clients who know how effectively Ms. Nicholson and our legal team handles even the most complex matters.
