Defenses for a Class C Felony in Wisconsin

It is important to understand the legal process when facing Class C felony charges in Wisconsin. The prosecution must prove every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, and our attorneys challenge every aspect of their case. Our defense strategies include:

  • Challenging Probable Cause: If the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence at the preliminary hearing, the case cannot proceed to trial. 
  • Examining Constitutional Violations: If law enforcement violated your rights during an arrest, interrogation, or search, key evidence may be suppressed. 
  • Motion Hearings: We aggressively file motions to dismiss charges or suppress unlawfully obtained evidence before trial. 
  • Mistaken Identity or Lack of Evidence: Many serious charges rely on flawed witness testimony or weak forensic evidence, which can be challenged. 
  • Negotiating Charge Reductions: In some cases, felony charges can be reduced to lower offenses or dismissed altogether. 

At Grieve Law, we meticulously analyze every detail of the prosecution’s case, challenge improper evidence, and develop powerful defense strategies. From the initial court appearance through trial, our attorneys work aggressively to protect your future.
