Your Next Steps After a Milwaukee Misdemeanor Charge

A criminal defense case can involve several steps, and knowing what to expect can make the process feel less overwhelming. Attorney Ruby De León is here to help you through it.

Your Court Paperwork

Misdemeanor cases are handled through the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Your paperwork should tell you when and where you need to appear. Attorney Ruby De León can explain the purpose of the appearance and assist as you prepare for decisions involving your plea and release conditions.

Complete Required Booking

Being released after an arrest or citation does not necessarily mean every booking requirement is finished. Some defendants must complete fingerprinting and photographs through the Criminal Justice Facility before a subsequent hearing. Missing a required step can create additional problems. We help you review your paperwork carefully and address outstanding requirements promptly.

Get Advice Before Discussing Resolution

As your case moves forward, we can review evidence, discuss the allegations with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office, and negotiate possible resolutions at a pre-trial conference. Depending on the circumstances, diversion or a Deferred Prosecution Agreement may also be available to qualifying defendants. These possibilities depend on the specific facts of the case.
