Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Child Sex Crimes

Child sex crime charges are some of most inflammatory charges in the criminal justice system. The public and juries view these crimes as particularly heinous and grant little mercy to the accused. If convicted, a person can complete a prison sentence and then is forced to register as a child sex offender and may not be allowed to live in certain areas or hold some types of jobs. What is worse, many allegations are false.

- DNA Evidence

Too often, people are wrongly convicted of a homicide or sexual assault because of the lack of DNA tests or contamination of the DNA samples used in court. At BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C., in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we understand how to use and challenge DNA evidence effectively. We will fight to have your case retried or dismissed, depending on your circumstances.

- False Confession

Police use a variety of techniques to persuade an accused person to make a confession. These techniques may produce false confessions if the accused felt pressured or threatened. Sometimes, the confessions are the principle reason for taking a case to trial. At BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C., in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we understand the techniques police use that can produce false confessions. We are committed to protect the rights of individuals who falsely confess to a crime.

- Search and Seizure

Those accused of crimes may be convicted because of evidence illegally found in their homes, car or other personal property. If you believe your Fourth Amendment Constitutional rights were violated when police entered your home or searched your car for evidence, contact BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C., to schedule a free appointment to discuss your case.

- Sex Offense

If you are accused or convicted of a sex offense, you face lifelong consequences. People all too often lump all sex offenders together, whether they involve consensual (but still illegal) sex between underage juveniles or a stranger abduction of the sort that brings chilling headlines. Convicted sex offenders of all types find their names, addresses and other private information on public registers usually accessible on the internet by neighbors, prospective employers and the media. As a result many find it next to impossible to find a job, and more and more towns and cities seek to ban them from living in all or most of the community.

- Internet Crime

The majority of Internet crimes involve allegations related to children (or undercover police officers posing as children) and sex. As Internet use increases, so do prosecutions related to Internet crimes, like solicitation of a minor, child pornography or even identity theft. At BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we defend people throughout Wisconsin who have been charged with or convicted of Internet crimes. Contact us to schedule an appointment concerning an Internet crime charge.

- Drug Crime

Drug or narcotics charges like possession and distribution can have long-term repercussions on your life. At BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we defend people throughout Wisconsin against serious drug offense charges. To speak to someone about your case, contact us for a free initial consultation.

- Homicide

A homicide charge is one of the most serious charges an individual can face. Conviction of murder often means a lifetime of scrutiny by government agencies, potential employers, landlords and the community as a whole. Unfortunately, some people are convicted of murders they did not commit, or they are convicted of a more serious degree of homicide than the facts warrant. Regardless of your guilt or innocence you need experienced criminal defense attorneys to represent you from investigation through trial.

- Domestic Violence

At BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we defend people throughout the state of Wisconsin against domestic violence charges. Such allegations often arise in times of stress in a relationship, such as separation or divorce. Spouses may make false or exaggerated claims to gain an advantage in a pending divorce or because of their desire for revenge. Sometimes, poor questioning by police can result in an inflated or overly dramatic account of a domestic dispute. Our attorneys can help you navigate this difficult time. If you face a domestic assault charge, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

- White Collar Crime

White collar crimes involve such varied offenses as employee theft, insurance fraud, embezzlement and forgery. These allegations often involve professionals entrusted to care for another's interests. At BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we represent people facing allegations of white collar crimes in federal and state court. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced criminal defense attorney.

- Drunk Driving

If you are accused of a drunk driving offense in Wisconsin you may face long term consequences. Convictions for drunk driving offenses remain on your driving record for life and have additional serious ramifications for an otherwise law abiding citizen. The attorneys at BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, have defended people against charges of operating under the influence for nearly 30 years. If you face a drunk driving charge, contact us to schedule a free confidential initial consultation with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

- Criminal Appellate

Not every criminal defense attorney has the skills necessary to handle a criminal appeal of a conviction or court ruling. At the law firm of BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, we have appellate experience throughout Wisconsin. If a trial court made an error or you feel that you did not have proper representation in your case, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced appellate attorney.

- Juvenile Offenses

Has your child made a mistake and gotten in trouble with the law? Recent medical and other scientific research on juvenile development has confirmed that children lack the maturity and judgment to avoid risky behavior. Unfortunately, there can be long-lasting consequences to their impulsive decisions. Do not let a simple lapse in judgment affect the rest of your child's life. Find out how to defend your child against criminal charges by contacting BUTING & WILLIAMS, S.C. in Brookfield and Glendale, Wisconsin, for a free initial consultation with an experienced juvenile defense attorney.
