Criminal Defense

Experienced criminal defense attorneys

Heywood, Cari & Anderson, with offices in Hudson and Prescott, have years of experience defending criminal charges. Criminal defense law involves government prosecution of a person or business for a crime. Crimes are classified as:

Misdemeanors – These are less serious offenses that are normally punishable by a fine and/or a maximum of one year in jail.

Felonies – These are more serious offenses that are punishable by more than one year in prison.

Due to the very serious nature of criminal defense law and because few people qualify for a court appointed attorney at public expense, it's in your best interest to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The attorneys at Heywood, Cari & Anderson have handled all types of criminal defense cases, including:

  • DWI/DUI/OWI
  • Possession of marijuana/thc/paraphernalia

Bankruptcy

Wisconsin bankruptcy lawyers

Heywood, Cari & Anderson has helped vast numbers of individuals file for bankruptcy or avoiding it, if possible. Bankruptcy Law provides a legal method for an individual to either discharge the debts by liquidating assets and distributing them among creditors, or resolve them by developing a plan involving the repayment of creditors over time.

The primary purposes of bankruptcy laws are to relieve honest individuals in debt and to provide them with a fresh start. Attorneys at Heywood, Cari & Anderson can help any bankruptcy client, individual or business, to make the best plan for their specific situation. We handle the following types of bankruptcy.

  • Chapter 7
  • Chapter 11
  • Chapter 13
  • Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Chapter 128 is a voluntary debt consolidation plan through the Wisconsin Circuit Court system. It is not a consumer credit counseling plan and it is not bankruptcy. There are two major differences:

  • Bankruptcy is Federal. Chapter 128 is strictly a State of Wisconsin plan.
  • Chapter 128 is the opposite of bankruptcy: you are repaying the debts.
