Defenses for a Class D Felony in Wisconsin

Being charged with a Class D felony can feel overwhelming, but a strong defense can change the outcome. Grieve Law thoroughly examines every aspect of your case to determine the best strategy. Our defenses include: 

  • Challenging Probable Cause: If law enforcement lacked probable cause for the arrest, the case may be dismissed during the preliminary hearing. 
  • Examining Constitutional Violations: If police conduct an unlawful search, seizure, or interrogation, key evidence can be thrown out. 
  • Motion Hearings: We aggressively pursue motions to dismiss charges or suppress unlawfully obtained evidence. 
  • Lack of Intent or Mistaken Identity: Many felony charges require proving intent, which can be challenged. 
  • Negotiating Charge Reductions: Some Class D felonies can be reduced to misdemeanors, significantly lowering penalties. 

Grieve Law challenges every aspect of the prosecution’s case to protect your rights throughout the legal process. From the initial court appearance to trial, we fight to minimize penalties or dismiss charges altogether.
