Christopher Van Wagner
and Tracey Wood joined
forces a few years ago, and through that combination
they have been able to obtain greater and more frequent
successes for their clients. Chris and Tracey have their
own individual, creative approaches to their clients’
cases, and each has their own unique courtroom style,
as well. In the five years of their partnership, they
have been able to use each other’s personality,
charm, perspective, strategies and backgrounds to mutually
enhance their collective ability to obtain the best
result possible for each client. No criminal defense
attorney can or should guarantee a particular outcome,
but with Van Wagner & Wood, you have the assurance
of knowing that you were able to obtain the best result
under the circumstances of your own individual case.
Chris and Tracey confer often on their separate cases,
which benefits the clients of both attorneys. Chris
and Tracey are each aggressive, diligent and tenacious
advocates in their own right, and yet each employs a
style best suited to their personality and experience.
In a recent survey of all Madison lawyers, Chris and
Tracey were both named among a small handful of the
very best criminal defense lawyers in Madison. And both
of them represent people on all types of criminal and
drunk driving charges.
Attorney Chris Van Wagner
has handled nearly one hundred felony trials in his
twenty-plus years as an attorney. His trial cases have
ranged from low-level offense all the way to kidnapping,
homicide and “domestic terrorism”. Chris has
handled matters in rural and urban counties, not to
mention the hardened criminal courtrooms of Chicago,
Illinois and Trenton, New Jersey, winning cases he was
expected to lose quickly.
Attorney Tracey Wood
won an outright acquittal in a case that made the national
headlines a few years ago, when her client was cleared
of any wrongdoing in a wide-ranging and emboldened conspiracy
scheme that actually stole missile launchers and military
tanks from the Ft. McCoy military base in northern Wisconsin.
All but one other defendant in that case went to federal
prison for years. In addition to this solid and successful
trial history, Chris and Tracey have also argued and
won appeals to the state and federal courts.
Many criminal defense lawyers never experience the
thrill of an outright acquittal in their career, and
yet Van Wagner & Wood’s lawyers have won several
for their clients. Their record clearly reflects their
hard work, their intelligent and professional approach
to their cases, and their skill in developing a strategy
that fits an individual client’s case, while drawing
upon their knowledge, experience and skill from past
cases.
This record of success and professionalism also gives
clients another important advantage: this winning record
and highly professional reputation often cause prosecutors
to make very favorable settlement offers (sometimes
called “plea bargains” or “plea agreements”)
to their clients, in order to avoid a trial or hearing
at which Van Wagner & Wood might prevail. Let’s
face it, many people investigated, or charged or convicted
of a criminal or drunk driving offense are not wholly
innocent. Many people hire criminal lawyers not to “fight
to the bitter end,” but rather to help them avoid
or minimize the often unduly punitive consequences of
what was really a one-time mistake, a poor judgment,
or a rash step taken with little thought and too much
emotion. Our clients’ cases often arise from difficult
problems with alcohol, drugs, money woes or struggling
domestic relationships. When you are seeking that sort
of help, it helps to know that because of the past success
of the attorneys at Van Wagner & Wood, they may
be able to obtain a very favorable outcome for you,
even when everything about the situation seems bleak
and hopeless, and the walls feel like they are closing
in around you. They are not, but by placing your case
in our hands, you can step back and leave the hard work
to us. Although there are no guarantees, at least you
will know that you have the good, solid, competent,
experienced, well-regarded and highly respected help
of Van Wagner & Wood.
The law firm of Van Wagner & Wood is “AV-rated”
by the other lawyers in the region, which means, in
short, that the local legal community considers them
a top criminal defense law firm.
If you are under investigation for a crime or drunk
driving offense, if you have already been charged with
a crime or drunk driving violation, or if you have already
been convicted but believe your conviction or your sentence
were wrong, please call (608-284-1200) or E-mail
Attorneys at Van Wagner & Wood right away.
They will give you a brief but professional “first-impression”
analysis of your case and your situation, which will
allow you to take an important first step in defending
the case against you.
