RIZZO & DIERSEN is dedicated to helping people faced with criminal charges. We have been a part of the Kenosha and Kenosha County, WI community for over twenty years. We routinely handle a wide variety of criminal matters. We understand that every case is unique and every client deserves an attorney that will take the time to understand the particular circumstances involved in their situation. We pride ourselves on being available to our clients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Some of the criminal matters we successfully handle include:

Weapons

Offenses

- Violent Offenses

We understand that facing criminal charges can be traumatic. We also know that being charged with a crime and being guilty of a crime is not the same thing. We begin each case with the assumption that every one of our clients has a unique problem that needs to be solved. We always work in the best interest of our clients.
- Bail and
Bond Hearings - The purpose of bail is to give assurance that the defendant
in a criminal trial will appear. The amount of bail is not a part of
punishment, as there has been no conviction. Our firm is familiar with the
factors that are appropriate to determine bail. A good lawyer knows the
financial limitations of his or her client and can fight for a bail that
reasonably ensures presence at trial while avoiding the constraint on family
members who may have insufficient resources for daily living
expenses.
- Firearms and Weapons -
Wisconsin may give high regard to the right of an individual to own a gun,
but that regard is not without limits. Some individuals are prohibited from
owning guns due to previous criminal activities. Certain types of gun ownership,
such as military-style weapons and silencers are illegal for anyone to
possess. There is a multitude of other violations that can get you into
trouble. You need an attorney that understands guns, the rights afforded you
by the Constitution; and federal, as well as state gun laws.
- Theft and Burglary - Taking
property that does not belong to you, no matter how you do it, or how you try
to justify it, it is a crime. The severity of that crime varies depending on
the amount of property involved and the manner in which you take it. These
types of crimes range from obtaining property by false pretense, larceny,
burglary, or embezzlement. They can include such crimes as grand theft auto,
dealing in stolen property and passing worthless checks.
- Violent Offenses - At RIZZO
& DIERSEN, we handle a wide variety of state charges involving violent
crimes such as arson, assault, battery, burglary, car-jacking, homicide,
kidnapping, manslaughter, murder, robbery and sex-based offenses. Many of
these types of offenses are "three-strike" offenses, meaning that
the third conviction for a violation can mean permanent loss of your freedom.
When it comes to something that serious, you need the best representation you
can get.
- White Collar Crimes -
White-collar crimes got their name from the fact that they can be committed
by persons that look honest, maybe hold decent jobs in the community, and
don't dirty their hands to commit their crimes. While violent crimes have
always been a prime target for law and order types, white collar crime in the
wake of corporate scandals like Enron and WorldCom are growing in prosecution
due to public outcry. Before you become a scapegoat and take the fall for all
the people perceived as being the problem with corporate America, you should
consult with a lawyer. You need an advocate who is not afraid to tackle the
complex issues involved in prosecutions involving accounting or bank fraud,
on-line and computer-based crimes, corporate fraud, insurance and health care
fraud, money laundering and RICO violations.
