Winnebago County Criminal Defense Attorney
Winnebago County prosecutors have had a singular focus on pursuing the most serious of charges. According to some sources, their conviction rate in this pursuit has been extremely high, in the 70s for several years now. In high stakes cases in Winnebago County, you are facing an uphill battle, but you don’t have to face it alone.
At Wolf Criminal Law, our founding attorney, Bill Wolf, has built a reputation for toughness, strength and experienced service. He uses his profile as a nationally respected, award-winning attorney to make your case progress efficiently. But it also means he’s not going to be intimidated by conviction rates or aggressive tactics from prosecutors.
Why Choose An Aggressive Criminal Defense Attorney
An aggressive criminal defense attorney like Mr. Wolf is a considerable advantage when you’re in a high stakes battle for your freedom. While all attorneys understand the law and can provide you with sound advice, many attorneys want to get your case over quickly. An aggressive attorney wants to protect your rights.
Attorney Wolf puts the pressure on every piece of the prosecution’s case:
- Evidence: He will file suppressing motions on every piece of evidence, investigating how it was handled, collected and interpreted.
- Witnesses: He will aggressively depose and cross examine every witness, offering rebuttal to all parts of their testimony.
- Opening and closing statements: With a powerful courtroom presence, he can connect with juries and raise doubts to any opening or theory of the crime presented.
There is always so much more to a criminal trial than just what happens in the courtroom. Mr. Wolf also is diligent and unyielding in pursuing your defense in speaking with police, in negotiations with prosecutors.
He will wage a full scale war for you to defend your name and keep your rights protected.
Using Silence To Protect Yourself
In the American justice system, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, nowhere is that presumption more impactful than with your right to remain silent. In any criminal case, speaking with prosecutors or police in an unguarded fashion is a major threat.
Whether you’re a witness or a subject, explaining yourself to police, lets them ask you clarifying questions. Even honest, exonerating answers can be used against you to incriminate you. People are often put at ease by their trust of police, but that trust is misplaced. If there is a criminal investigation, the police are not there to protect you, they’re there to secure evidence and make an arrest. It’s important you know that. It’s important you have the right expectation.
