Focused Criminal Defense. Proven Advocacy.

Chirafisi Anderson, S.C. is built around one purpose: defending individuals facing criminal charges in Wisconsin. Our attorneys focus exclusively on criminal defense, allowing us to bring depth, preparation, and strategic clarity to every case we handle.

Criminal cases often turn on early decisions, factual development, and how evidence is challenged. We approach every matter with the understanding that outcomes are shaped long before trial, and that disciplined preparation and informed advocacy make a meaningful difference.

Trial-Ready Defense

We prepare criminal cases to be litigated. From OWI and drug offenses to serious felony allegations, our attorneys regularly challenge evidence, file suppression motions, and take cases to trial when necessary. Prosecutors recognize when a case is being prepared seriously – and that preparation matters.

Wisconsin Courtroom Experience

We represent clients throughout Southern and Central Wisconsin and are familiar with local courts, enforcement practices, and prosecutorial approaches across jurisdictions. That experience allows us to assess cases realistically and advise clients with clarity about risks, strategy, and options.

Strategic, Early Intervention

Early involvement is critical in criminal cases. We focus on early case assessment, identifying weaknesses in the State’s evidence, and protecting our clients’ rights from the outset. By intervening early and strategically, we work to control the direction of the case rather than reacting to it.

    I am in the middle of a case I was terrified to handle by myself. Michael was referred to me by a good friend and has made the entire experience painless and taken an exteme amount of stress off my back. He walks me through, and consults me before he makes any decision. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney for the situation I’m in. Thank you Michael for taking such a personal interest in my case. I wouldn’t be able to handle it without you. AP
