When you face criminal charges, you need a lawyer who will fight for the future you deserve, not one who does the bare minimum. When you work with La Fratta Law, our Madison criminal defense lawyer can develop an individualized defense strategy based on the evidence and your goals.
Our team has spent years resolving criminal cases on the most favorable terms possible in the circumstances. Calm, focused guidance throughout the criminal process can help you understand you roptions and move forward with confidence. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.
Our Madison defense attorney handles a variety of criminal cases, including traffic violations. We can help you resolve tickets while minimizing any fines or license demerits. In many cases, you will not even need to attend court, as your attorney can represent you in your absence.
Founding attorney Michael La Fratta is also a skilled trial lawyer, experienced in providing vigorous defense against DUIs and reckless driving charges. When the evidence against you is weak or there are grounds to seek a dismissal of a charge, he can pursue the matter through motion practice or a trial to protect your interests.
La Fratta Law handles many types of misdemeanor cases as well, such as shoplifting, misdemeanor drug possession, trespassing, or similar offenses. We can also represent your child in the juvenile justice system and pursue an expungement of a prior arrest if you qualify.
People sometimes believe that they can handle a traffic violation or a minor criminal matter themselves. While you might feel that pleading guilty and hoping for the best is the simplest and least expensive way to handle the situation, nothing could be further from the truth.
In traffic cases, pleading guilty and paying the fine counts as a conviction. You will receive demerits on your license that result in mean higher insurance premiums for years to come. When you hire a Madison defense attorney to handle the matter, we can work diligently to resolve the matter with a lower fine and fewer demerits, if any. Working with a seasoned lawyer is the cost-effective option.
Criminal matters require legal counsel. An attorney can explain the procedures and potential consequences of a charge, evaluate the quality of the prosecution’s evidence, and examine the conduct of law enforcement officers. We understand how the prosecutor’s office manages various types of cases and can use that knowledge to negotiate a more favorable outcome than you could obtain for yourself.
At La Fratta Law, we are dedicated to resolving every case in the way that best aligns with the client’s goals. When you come to us with a legal issue, we take the time to understand your situation and create a defense strategy around it. We keep you informed as the matter progresses through the courts, always explaining what is happening and why, and letting you know the risks and benefits of all your options.
A criminal record stays with you forever, and not all arrests can be expunged. We keep this foremost in our minds as we work to resolve your case so that it has as little impact on your future as possible.
Any criminal charge has significant consequences. Even a simple traffic ticket can end up costing you far more than the fine. You can protect yourself by seeking help from a Madison criminal defense lawyer. At La Fratta Law, we offer free initial consultations, so contact us today.
