Practice Areas Description

-Criminal Defense

At the law firm of Kohn & Smith, we represent individuals who have been arrested for state and federal crimes in Wisconsin. With more than 50 years of experience, we are able to tell our clients how it is and what they can expect from the process. We are trial attorneys who are not afraid to protect our clients' rights in court, but when trial is not in a client's best interest, we will be straightforward about the best decisions to make.

-Sex Crimes

An allegation of a sex crime has the potential to ruin a person's life. A conviction may carry a lengthy prison sentence and lifetime registration on the sex offender registry, and it may also do permanent damage to your reputation among friends, employers and family members. It is imperative to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible if you have been arrested for a sex crime in Wisconsin.

-Child Pornography

Both federal and Wisconsin state laws are extremely serious regarding child pornography. The possession and distribution of child pornography can carry significant penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, which threaten the future of those who are convicted. A conviction of an offense involving child pornography can follow you for the rest of your life and should be taken extremely seriously.

-Online Solicitation of a Minor

The online solicitation of a minor is a significant crime that is vigorously prosecuted by law enforcement. These charges are pursued very seriously. Online solicitation that takes place in chat rooms and elsewhere on the Internet can bring about offenses with criminal penalties that include lengthy imprisonment and lifetime required registration on the sex offender registry.

-Sexual Assault

The allegation of sexual assault or another sex crime can have a profound impact on the rest of your life. Jail or prison time, sex offender registration and other serious penalties can have a lifelong impact on you and your reputation. It can also impact opportunities for employment, secondary education and housing. It is important to take swift and decisive action to protect your rights.

-Fraud

Fraud charges, which are often referred to as white collar crimes, are taken seriously by state and federal prosecutors who aggressively pursue convictions and severe penalties for those accused. Since many cases are prosecuted under federal law, there may be much harsher punishments, including lengthy imprisonment and heavy fines. If you are under investigation or you have been accused of fraud, you need experienced defense on your side.

-OWI / DUI

In Wisconsin, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated is a serious offense and police continue to crack down by making OWI and DUI arrests. OWI and other drunk driving offenses carry significant penalties, such as the loss of driving privileges and potential incarceration. More severe felony OWIs/DUIs and crimes such as vehicular homicide have even greater consequences that can impact the rest of your life.

-Domestic Violence

In the state of Wisconsin, allegations of domestic violence are taken very seriously by state prosecutors and law enforcement officials. These cases are aggressively prosecuted and can carry significant penalties for those who are convicted. Unfortunately, these allegations can often stem out of arguments that get out of hand and can be fabricated or embellished based upon the situation.

-Drug Crimes

A drug crime conviction, even for the possession of a small amount of marijuana, can be serious. More serious charges have even greater consequences and can have you facing a lengthy prison term and a permanent mark on your criminal record. Such a record can impact your ability to secure housing and home loans, to get access to financial aid and secondary education and to find the best job opportunities.

-Violent Crimes

Violent crimes can range from assault and battery to homicide cases. Few lawyers in Wisconsin have handled homicide cases in court and even fewer have won those cases. Our firm has a track record of success in violent crimes cases, including homicide, and we are comfortable and experienced in providing dedicated and vigorous criminal defense for our clients.
