Why Choose Racine Defense?
Criminal Defense requires three things:

Investigation. Negotiation. Litigation.

Top Criminal Defense Attorneys - Not "just plea bargainers." 

Let’s face it, most cases resolve short of a jury trial like you might see in the movies or on television. At Racine Defense, we have built strong relationships with community prosecutors. We are skilled negotiators. But that does NOT mean that you will get the same resolution with one attorney at your side as compared to a team that combines negotiation with investigation and litigation.

Investigation requires turning over stones—obtaining police reports, interviewing witnesses, requesting records, reviewing videos and recordings. Litigation requires knowing our clients’ cases from the top to the bottom. We carefully manage our caseload so we have enough time to know each client, each case.

Litigation also requires filing motions, often before trial, to challenge evidence. Many cases, particularly cases where law enforcement conducts an investigation, turn on whether law enforcement officers have complied with Wisconsin and Federal constitutional, statutory, and case law. If investigators make a mistake, that could affect whether the evidence they obtain comes in to court. Strong motion practice is the number one tool to litigating cases and properly defending clients against criminal and traffic charges. 

Litigation sometimes means jury or court trials. If the prosecution will not resolve a case to our clients’ satisfaction, then we can request a trial to defend against the charges before a jury or the court.  We have jury trials throughout each year. More importantly, we win jury trials. We pride ourselves on our knowledge of the case, or ability to aggressively cross-examine law enforcement officers and witnesses, and our charisma before the jury or trier of fact. We believe in our clients. It shows in our words and actions in court.

Location. Matters.

Racine Defense. Located at 308 Sixth Street. The best criminal defense firm in Racine. 

As criminal defense attorneys, one of our best assets is our location. Racine Defense, owned by Attorney Brian P. Dimmer, resides directly across the street from the Racine County Courthouse as well as the Racine County Jail. Our clients meet us at our office before court—no trying to find the courtroom or your attorney. We avoid meeting with clients in the openness of the courthouse—your privacy matters to us. Additionally, we can visit clients in the jail on short or no notice.

We can file motions and get court hearings by visiting the clerks and filing motions the same day. We can also meet with prosecutors at their office, follow-up with judges, and be back and forth from court in the blink of an eye. When we have trials, we can return to our office to focus on preparing for the next witness - no wasted travel time. 

Through our regular contact with the same judges, prosecutors, and officers, we build professional working relationships. Yes, good, ol’ fashioned litigation is our forte, but sometimes all we need is a small favor—an expedited stipulation letting our client out of custody to see the birth of his child, or a grandparent’s funeral. Those relationships matter both in the courtroom and out. Altogether, our court side office gives us more time to work on our clients’ cases—not traveling.

Our Specialty.

We are focused criminal defense attorneys.

While we might take an occasional civil or family case for a longtime client, our caseload is 99% criminal and traffic defense cases. We do that for a good reason. There’s no room for “Jacks-of-all-trades” in this business. Wisconsin and federal law changes almost daily. No good attorney can keep up with it all.

By focusing on criminal defense and traffic defense, we ensure that we know the law, and what the law might be tomorrow. We also focus on criminal and traffic defense because it concentrates our court appearances during criminal court times. That gives us enough time to meet with clients, review discovery, and prepare for litigation—when other “Jacks-of-all-trades” might be running over to family or civil court. When you hire us, you hire a criminal defense attorney.
