What is a Class E felony in Wisconsin?
Class E felony penalties in Wisconsin are serious. Section 939.50(3)(e) of the Wisconsin Statutes describes the penalties for Class E felonies. Crimes classified as Class E felonies carry a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, $50,000.00 in fines, or both. That 15 years is broken down into 10 years initial confinement and 5 years extended supervision.
15 years in prison is certainly a significant penalty. Our advice is always the same when facing a significant penalty: hire the best criminal defense attorney you can afford. The criminal defense lawyers at Van Severen Law Office specialize in defending criminal charges. Our entire practice is devoted to defending individuals accused of committing crimes.

How do we defend my case?
Every criminal case is a little different. While your case might have a motion issue, another case might simply proceed to trial.
For example, an aggravated battery case might rely on medical records. If the government does not produce those medical records, we will certainly file a motion to compel the production of the records. Or, in other words, a motion to compel discovery.
Burglary cases frequently don’t involve eye witnesses. Quite often, burglaries occur when the owner of the property isn’t home. Because of that, the government might have a proof problem at trial. If you’re charged based simply on circumstantial evidence, obtaining a great result for you at trial may be possible.
Other cases may involve motions challenging the search of your home, vehicle, office, or possessions. Sometimes, depending upon the result of that motion, we’re able to suppress certain evidence and compel the dismissal of your charges.
