Wisconsin State Capitol - Madison WI
Successful Criminal &
Drunk Driving Defense
Madison's Best Criminal Defense Lawyer

Welcome

For more than thirty combined years, the attorneys at Van Wagner & Wood, Attorney Chris Van Wagner & Attorney Tracey Wood, have defended people accused of criminal wrongdoing or drunk driving.

As one of few, if not the only attorney to have won all sexual assault trials, Attorney Chris Van Wagner led the teaching seminars for the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2008 to help other lawyers in Wisconsin learn how to effectively defend their clients charged with a sex crime such as sexual assault, sexual assault of a minor child, or solicitation of a minor for sex. Courts respect criminal defense lawyers, like Attorney Chris Van Wagner, who possesses a stellar trial record, as is evidenced by his numerous sexual assault dismissals (four to date in just this year).

"Regardless of the charges, we will defend you."

As Wisconsin foremost authority on drunk driving laws and defenses, Attorney Tracey Wood has written the book on DUI Defense in Wisconsin and served as one of few, if not the only attorney, to inform the Wisconsin Supreme Court of the problems with drunk driving cases in this state. Attorney Wood is the only Wisconsin lawyer ever to serve on the Board of Directors for the National College of DUI Defense.

If you are under investigation, if you have been charged, or if you want to appeal a previous conviction, please contact Van Wagner & Wood for a brief but professional "first-impression" analysis of your case. 1-888-663-8163
