Domestic Violence Attorney
Consult with a domestic violence attorney ASAP
If you are accused of a domestic violence crime, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
Domestic violence crimes are prosecuted aggressively by most law enforcement authorities. When police respond to a domestic violence call, Wisconsin law requires that they take the primary aggressor into custody.
Most often, someone goes to jail. Oftentimes, the prosecution proceeds even where the victim and other family members would rather not see the prosecution take place at all.
These offenses are punishable by jail, probation, fines and you could lose your right to possess a firearm for the rest of your life.

Praise for criminal defense attorney Robert W. Keller
I hired Mr. Keller to defend me in a serious felony domestic violence case. My first lawyer couldn’t make any progress. The DA wanted prison and I stood to lose everything. I did exactly what Mr. Keller told me to do. He fought hard. He knows what he is doing. My case got dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.
After a few hours of research, I’m glad I selected Attorney Keller to represent me in what was a very scary situation. Attorney Keller was always responsive, friendly and worked with me as if he was a family friend. Case dismissed!!!! I endorse Attorney Keller to anyone that wants the best representation possible.
Robert Keller is extremely professional, accessible and knowledgeable about Wisconsin law. Because of his thorough knowledge and experience, we were successful in the outcome of my case, which was deemed a bit non-traditional. Any questions or concerns I had during this stressful time, were managed perfectly by Bob. His tenacity, positive attitude, legal expertise, professionalism, and interpersonal communication skills add-up to a winning combination. I highly recommend Robert Keller for your legal needs.

Domestic Violence and No-Contact Orders
If you are arrested for a crime of Domestic Violence, the police will impose a No-Contact order upon your release from jail. This means you cannot have contact with the other party or their residence.
If you are living with the other person, it means that you cannot go home. This order remains in effect even if the other party does not request it.
Many domestic abuse or domestic violence cases occur between married couples or people who are living together. Frequently, both parties do not want to the No-Contact Order put in place.
