Services
In the practice of law, criminal defense is unique in that it is the only area of the law that can take away your freedom. In Wisconsin circuit courts, criminal defense cases are classified as either misdemeanors, felonies, or criminal traffic. The important distinction between misdemeanors and felonies is that any crime punishable by imprisonment in the Wisconsin prisons is a felony.
If you have been charged with a battery or assault crime, your best first move is to retain a Madison criminal defense attorney. In many of these battery or assault cases, there is the possibility of significant prison time and the potential to affect your future employment and education goals. Wisconsin prosecutors aggressively pursue these battery and assault cases with a large contingent of detectives and investigators.
For the past 28 years, Attorney Robert Nagel has focused his Madison law practice on criminal defense in Dane County and surrounding south central Wisconsin. His professional history includes work as an attorney, campaign consultant, and policy analyst. He has owned and managed his own law firm, managed Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin's first campaign for the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1992, sued environmental polluters, and raised two children.
Thanks again for taking my case. Your tact and expertise have proven invaluable throughout this mess. I got what I wanted, and all while working with a genuinely cool guy! Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks again for all you are doing. I've made some extremely bad decisions in the not so distant past- I'm glad I chose an excellent attorney to help me clean up my mess.
Lots of criminal defense attorneys talk about the depth of their experience. Over my 30 year career, I have handled over 5000 criminal cases in Wisconsin circuit court. The best testimony to my success has been given by my clients. My goal in every case is to help my clients restore their self-esteem and standing in the community.

Critical: Quality
My attorney showed up late to court, and it made the judge very upset. My attorney never informed me I would lose my drivers license. This firm lacked attention to detail. Even after 20 years later, I will never forget.

This guy is in such a hurry, hardly listens to you, and didn’t make me feel like there was any hope for my son so declined and looked at the Milwaukee area instead. Found someone great! To me this man came off as an arrogant person and didn’t seem to care to listen with no empathy what so ever. So glad I went with my gut and hired out of Madison!

Robert understands the laws very well and knows how to work with the system to your benefit. A criminal lawyer is usually nobody you want to call, but when you have to, you want to ensure it is someone who… cares about your case and is their to protect you. Robert has not only acted as my lawyer but has become a friend over the years as well. A great man and a great lawyer right here.
