Choosing an attorney with a record of success in cases similar to yours is the best way to ensure that he or she has the experience and in-depth knowledge to achieve the best possible results for you. At Nicholson Goetz & Otis, S.C., in Madison, we bring together attorneys and staff members with valuable backgrounds and experience throughout the legal system.
Our entire team shares one goal: to provide aggressive, prepared trial litigation in Wisconsin state and federal courts. Criminal defense, including OWI charges, traffic violations, drug charges, homicide, sex crimes and other felony and misdemeanor charges. Family law litigation, including divorce, child support, paternity and restraining order matters.
