Vanden Heuvel & Dineen, S.C. Represents Tough Criminal Cases
If you are facing severe charges, private legal counsel may help you achieve your intended outcome. Prosecutors must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you are guilty of a crime. If they construct their case around flimsy evidence, you have an opportunity to exonerate yourself. However, criminal defense requires serious legal resources and knowledge to leverage the court process effectively.
Types of cases that the Wisconsin criminal defense attorneys at Vanden Heuvel & Dineen, S.C. represent includes:
Domestic Violence Defense
Domestic violence is never okay, but it is also not fair that someone goes to jail for a crime they did not commit. Your charges are defensible, and a domestic violence defense lawyer will shield your case from prosecution. Clear your name so that a domestic violence charge does not follow you around for years to come.
Drug Crimes Defense
From simple possession to drug trafficking, work with a drug crimes defense lawyer at Vanden Heuvel & Dineen, S.C. to ensure that you have every fighting chance to retain your freedom. Our law firm will examine the available evidence and challenge the prosecutor’s theory against you, point for point.
DWI/OWI Defense
Drunk or drugged driving are crimes in Wisconsin and charged as driving while intoxicated (DWI) or operating while intoxicated (OWI) misdemeanors and felonies. While you will not serve prison time for a first offense, you will pay fines, lose your license, and deal with an ignition interlock device (IID), and subsequent offenses are much worse. Hire a DWI/OWI defense lawyer to challenge the charges you are facing.
Homicide, Manslaughter, & Murder Defense
These crimes are among the most serious in Wisconsin. Our homicide, manslaughter, and murder defense lawyers routinely come up with case strategies to defend those charged or questioned. Vanden Heuvel & Dineen, S.C. will stand up to your charges while building the best possible plan for the given circumstances.
Sex Crimes Defense
Sex crimes are also punished severely in Wisconsin. There are also unique issues specific to these cases. You have a right to defend yourself against accusers by hiring a sex crimes defense lawyer on our legal team to handle your case from your first appearance to a judge or jury trial.

Investigations, such as searches and police questioning, can lead to criminal charges. Hiring Wisconsin criminal defense attorneys early on ensures that you avoid making self-incriminating statements. It also keeps law enforcement on their toes while you are under investigation.
