Criminal Misdemeanor Defense

Centro Legal provides complete direct representation in criminal misdemeanor defense cases. A misdemeanor defense case involves criminal charges including:

Centro Legal’s bilingual criminal law attorney represents clients who do not qualify for public defender representation, but are too poor to hire private counsel.  He ensures that his clients understand their legal rights and responsibilities, enabling them to make informed decisions about their cases.   We work to minimize the time clients spend in court and away from their jobs and families.  In cases involving substance abuse, Centro Legal is often able to help a client negotiate a diversion agreement with the District Attorneys office, allowing them to seek treatment and complete community service in exchange for a reduced charge after staying clean for a predetermined period.  A criminal charge does not have to derail a person’s life and future opportunities. Centro Legal is one of only two non-profit organizations in Milwaukee that provides legal representation in criminal court.
