Attorney Jeffrey Kippa and team understand the fears individuals may have after being arrested or charged with a crime. At J. Kippa Law, LLC, you will work directly with experienced criminal defense attorneys throughout your case. They will thoroughly review all evidence and reports of your incident.
Our Appleton approach is to get to know their clients by learning about their side of the story and what happened leading up to their arrest. They genuinely care about their clients’ futures by getting to know who they are, not just what charges they are facing. Since it is a small law firm, you will always know who you will be working with — and that you have a dedicated lawyer by your side.
Being charged with a criminal offense or ordinance violation can wreak havoc on a person’s life. Jeffrey Kippa and his team have years of experience handling a wide variety of criminal cases. They have defended clients against the following charges:
No. Not being read your Miranda rights will affect any statement that you may have given, under certain circumstances, and could result in the suppression of your statement. It is not likely to result in a complete dismissal of your criminal case. Analysis of this type of issue is very fact-specific and requires an in-depth conversation with a criminal defense attorney.
Possibly. Federal statutes can implicate your ability to own or even possess a gun if the crime for which you are charged meets the definition of a violent crime of domestic abuse. So even though Wisconsin law only prohibits possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, federal law may prevent you from possessing a gun, depending on the facts of your case.
Quite likely. If you are ultimately convicted of a drug crime involving a controlled substance, financial assistance can be denied. The length of time that you are ineligible depends on the type of offense for which you are convicted. There are many ways a criminal defense lawyer can prevent a conviction, even if you possessed a controlled substance.
It is not cheap to hire a qualified, experienced attorney, but more importantly, you should ask yourself what the cost of not getting a good criminal defense lawyer may be. While there is a presumption of innocence in criminal matters, once you get into a courtroom, the deck is stacked against you.
Prosecutors and judges are likely looking for a quick guilty plea and resolution to the case. That often is not in your best interest. The first offer may not be the best, there may be collateral consequences to a guilty plea, or you may be innocent.
Jeffrey Kippa’s criminal defense team also has experience with expungement and ordinance violations. They know what options are available to get charges dismissed. They also know when to discuss a plea bargain and when it is best to go to trial.
The law firm has extensive experience helping clients in Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh and throughout Wisconsin, and they are dedicated to finding the best outcome for their clients.
