The firm focuses exclusively on criminal defense, representing individuals facing misdemeanor and felony charges. Its attorneys handle cases involving homicide, drunk driving (OWI/DUI), sex crimes, drug offenses, and other serious allegations. With decades of combined trial experience, the team defends clients whose freedom, reputations, and futures are at stake.
Nelson Defense Group builds each defense around the client's circumstances, recognizing that every criminal case involves a person whose life extends beyond the charges. The firm takes time to listen to clients, understand their stories, examine the evidence, and develop legal strategies suited to their cases. Rather than assigning every case to a single attorney, the firm uses a collaborative team approach. Its lawyers prepare for negotiations and trials while challenging the prosecution's arguments and protecting clients' legal rights.
Nelson Defense Group handles a broad range of criminal matters, including homicide, sexual assault, violent crimes, domestic violence, gun offenses, juvenile defense, property crimes, and Title IX cases. The team also represents individuals accused of drug-related offenses and operating while intoxicated. Led by founding attorney Aaron A. Nelson, its attorneys bring extensive courtroom experience to cases involving serious criminal allegations. Their work includes reviewing evidence, challenging unlawful searches, pursuing dismissals, and presenting defenses before juries throughout western Wisconsin.
Nelson Defense Group reports more than 2,000 fully dismissed cases and over 300 not-guilty verdicts. Founding attorney Aaron A. Nelson has received eight Martin Hanson Memorial Awards from the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers for successful homicide defenses.
