● Appeals ● White Collar Crimes ● Property Crimes ● Battery and Domestic Violence ● Traffic and CDL Violations
The Law Office of Roberta A. Heckes has experience in consultation and representation of clients charged with serious federal or Wisconsin State crimes. I represent clients, at both the trial and appeal level, clients charged with Wisconsin federal crimes and clients facing serious Wisconsin state crimes.
I have handled hundreds of appeal/postconviction cases. Appeals are complex and require the knowledge and experience of a well-seasoned appellate attorney. I am a State Bar of Wisconsin Appellate Practice Section Board member and a member of the American Bar Association Appellate Practice section. I am committed to continually updating my experience and knowledge about new trends in appellate practice with my colleagues.
Sometimes things go wrong in the trial court, and you have the right to pursue postconviction relief. I have the experience and I will thoroughly review you case and determine what issues may exist for you to pursue an appeal. I will vigorously and zealously review you case and advise you about the potential merits of you case. In the course of my years as an appellate attorney, I have been successful at correcting improper sentences, obtaining correct sentence credit determinations, and fighting to obtain other relief from either the trial court or the court of appeals, which include published court of appeals' decisions. It is always an uphill battle at the appeal level, but I will do my best to help you protect your appeal rights.
I will represent you at any stage of your Federal or State criminal case and will work hard to get you the best possible results. Wherever you are and whatever your criminal legal needs Roberta A. Heckes is the Attorney to contact.
Protecting Your Best Interests
My primary goal is to have your charges dismissed, obtain an acquittal at trial, negotiate a reduction of the charges and sentence, or to overturn the conviction from trial and or sentencing through the appellate process. My Firm will work hard to protect your legal rights by reviewing your case, listening to your concerns and working toward a favorable outcome.
When facing charges for a federal or state crime, there are other collateral consequences to consider including family concerns. My job as a criminal defense attorney is to counsel the client and the family, with your permission, regarding the difficult process of negotiating the troubled waters of the federal or state criminal justice systems, both at the trial and appeal level.
Advocating for Your Rights
Focusing exclusively on the practice areas of criminal defense and appeals, I have substantial experience to help you navigate through the criminal justice legal system. I am a member of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers so I can keep current on new developments in criminal law. If you were convicted as the result of a trial or plea, you may still be able to obtain relief by appealing your case. There may be appeal issues related to your sentencing that may merit postconviction relief. Never give up.
