Aaron A. Nelson

Aaron graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School in 1996. After graduation, Aaron began working with Doar Drill & Skow defending people accused of crimes.  Since then, he has devoted 100% of his practice to defending people accused of crimes and traffic incidents.

In Aaron’s 15 years as a Criminal Defense Trial Lawyer, he has litigated more than 50 trials including: 

• First Degree Intentional Homicides
• First and Second Degree Sexual Assaults
• Vehicular Homicides
• Arson
• Armed Robbery
• Possession of Child Pornography
• Battery
• Felony Theft
• Possession of Marijuana, Methamphetamine, or Cocaine
• Disorderly Conduct
• Criminal and Civil OWI's
• Civil Mental Health Commitments

The key to a defense attorney’s successful resolution of criminal cases is a willingness and ability to litigate matters in the courtroom.  Not all cases or issues need to be contested, but all cases need to be prepared to be contested if the best possible agreement is to be obtained.  Aaron not only prepares to litigate every case, he has demonstrated his ability to get good results when a case needs to be litigated.

At trial, Aaron has obtained many “Not Guilty" verdicts for his clients.  In addition, cases have been dismissed or reduced prior to and even during the trial.  Other successes include his work at suppression hearings, which has resulted in reduced charges and dismissals.

Aaron is one of a select number of private attorneys in Northwestern Wisconsin certified by the Wisconsin State Public Defender to represent people charged with Class A Felony: Intentional Homicide.

On four occasions, Aaron Nelson has been named a "Rising Star" by Wisconsin Super Lawyers magazine for his representation of people accused of crimes.
