Practice Areas

The Law Offices of Robert Nagel takes a comprehensive approach to criminal defense. Attorney Nagel has spent three decades in Wisconsin courtrooms fighting for the rights of the accused, acquiring extraordinary experience in a wide range of criminal law categories.

Drunk Driving / OWI / DUI

Defending DUI cases has always presented special challenges. In Wisconsin, due to statutory changes and more sophisticated blood alcohol-testing technologies, mounting a successful defense is difficult, but there are aspects of the arrest and charge that can be challenged.

Drug Crimes

Drug charges include misdemeanors and felonies, and range from simple possession; possession with intent to deliver; and manufacture, distribution or delivery. The severities depend on the class of drugs, quantity of drugs, and first-time or repeat offender.

Sex Offenses

Just being accused of crimes of a sexual nature can cause disruption in family and destroy a person’s reputation in the community. Accusations can result in the loss of job or expulsion from school. A conviction may carry mandatory prison time and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

Computer Crimes

As computers have become more pervasive in our lives, the types and numbers of computer crimes have increased, including child pornography, cyber-stalking, and identify theft. Because computers are frequently shared, computer forensic examinations may be necessary.

Property Crimes / Theft

Theft is taking something that doesn't belong to you, whereas a robbery is taking something from a person and using force, or the threat of force, to do it. You commit a burglary when you enter a building, home, or other structure with the intent to commit a theft or other felony crime within it.

Fraud

Fraud is the knowing use of dishonesty and deception in order to achieve some sort of gain, usually (though not always) financial. Under Wisconsin law, most fraudulent crimes involve theft of property. Typically, the property stolen is tangible, such as real property, a car, or money.
