Who We Are

Chirafisi Anderson, S.C. is a Wisconsin criminal defense law firm representing individuals charged with misdemeanors, felonies, and OWI offenses throughout southern and central Wisconsin. The firm is built on the principle that effective criminal defense requires preparation, judgment, and a willingness to litigate when necessary.

Our attorneys focus exclusively on criminal and OWI defense. That focus allows us to develop case strategies grounded in the facts, the applicable law, and the specific practices of the courts in which cases are prosecuted. We regularly represent clients in circuit courts across Southern and Central Wisconsin including Dane, Rock, Jefferson, Columbia, Green, Iowa, Dodge, and Sauk Counties, and we are familiar with how local procedures and charging decisions affect case outcomes.

Chirafisi Anderson, S.C. approaches each case individually. We do not rely on volume-based practices or assumptions about how a case “should” resolve. Instead, we evaluate the evidence, identify legal and constitutional issues, and advise clients honestly about their options so they can make informed decisions at every stage of the case.

Whether a matter resolves through negotiation or proceeds to litigation, our attorneys prepare each case with the understanding that the consequences are serious and personal. That preparation, combined with courtroom experience and clear communication, is the foundation of our representation.

How We Defend

At Chirafisi Anderson, S.C., our approach to criminal defense is guided by experience, preparation, and judgment. We believe effective representation requires more than familiarity with the law – it requires an understanding of how cases actually move through the courts and how decisions made early in a case affect long-term outcomes.

Preparation comes first. We prepare every case as if it may proceed to litigation. That preparation includes a careful review of the evidence, identification of legal and constitutional issues, and an evaluation of how the case will be viewed by the court. Even when a case resolves short of trial, preparation remains essential.

Clear advice matters. Clients are entitled to understand the charges they face, the potential consequences, and the realistic options available to them. We explain the law and the process in direct terms so clients can make informed decisions at each stage of the case.

Strategy is case-specific. No two cases are the same. Our strategies are shaped by the facts, the evidence, the applicable law, and the practices of the specific court involved. We do not rely on assumptions or one-size-fits-all approaches.

Courtroom experience is critical. When litigation is necessary, experience in the courtroom matters. Our attorneys are prepared to advocate for clients through motion practice, hearings, and trial when doing so serves the client’s best interests.
