Traffic stops are the most common reasons for police encounters.  Knowing your rights during a Wisconsin traffic stop may protect you from unlawful criminal charges.

If you’ve been charged with a crime, you probably want to know what to expect from the court process.  How does it work?  What’s the procedure?  How long do cases take to resolve?

When the police come knocking you might feel caught off guard, nervous or confused.  As you quickly gather your thoughts, you may have many questions spinning through your brain.  Do the police need a warrant to come into your home?  What happens if you just don’t respond?  Why are the police even at your door if you didn’t do anything wrong; OR EVEN IF YOU DID? So what do you do?
