From our office located in Madison, we are able to provide assertive and credible legal representation to clients throughout south-central and western Wisconsin.

Christopher T. Van Wagner, the visionary founder of the firm, has 40-plus years of experience practicing law. Working as a prosecutor for a significant number of years, his sound knowledge of criminal law and the functioning of the criminal justice system allows him to work efficiently toward the fulfillment of your goals.

Being the sole practitioner at the firm, Mr. Wagner is able to differentiate himself from the crowd by devoting sufficient time to each of the cases without ripping through a multitude of them for quantity’s sake. We help you seek acquittal or reduction of charges in federal and other crimes involving sex crime, identity theft, domestic abuse, drunk driving, cyber crimes, drug crimes, vehicular crimes, assault and battery.

Mr. Wagner has been successful in matching the firm’s quality of service to the high standards he has set for himself. Dedicating his professional time and efforts in defending people accused of criminal charges we are able to offer our clients personalized attention and learned counsel directly from an immensely experienced professional. His legal excellence has earned him an AV Preeminent* pee-review rating through Martindale-Hubbell and a 10/10 rating on Avvo.

While acquittal is not possible in every case, over the years we have had significant success in getting ‘not guilty’ verdicts for several cases of various degrees. Given that there exists a certain stigma against people who are merely accused of criminal charges, time is of the essence to take the right action that can change your fate. Contact us immediately for a free appointment and we will provide you a candid assessment of your case with a recommended course of action.
