Homicide

We are certified for homicide defense by the Wisconsin State Public Defender and provide skilled defense against charges of:

• First degree intentional homicide
• Reckless homicide resulting from drug distribution that led to an overdose
• Vehicular homicide

In order to receive this certification, the quality of our work is reviewed by judges and other attorneys.

Domestic Violence / Physical Abuse

Actions that bring about federal domestic abuse charges can vary greatly. Charges can even be brought against a person for spanking that results in bruises. If you have been charged with domestic violence, we will defend you against criminal charges and defend your parental rights.

Drug Crimes

Our firm has experience defending groups in multi-codefendant drug conspiracies charged with the possession, distribution, trafficking and/or manufacturing of:

• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Heroin
• Methamphetamines (Meth)
• Prescription drugs

Sex Crimes

When charged with a sex crime, you are facing serious prison time, lifelong registration as a sexual offender and a tremendous social stigma. The consequences of conviction can truly follow you for the rest of your life. In fact, under state and federal law, you can be held indefinitely by means of sex offender civil commitment.

This is why it's essential to have an exceptional and effective attorney working on your side. At the Benavides Law Office, we have experience defending clients against charges of sexual assault (anything from relatively minor touching to a violent attack) or possession and/or distribution of child pornography.
