Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

I am not aware of any such law. WI has never had any law providing for expungement or removal of felony convictions; they have always been permanent. The only way a felony conviction can be removed is therefore by successfully appealing the conviction or by bringing a successful post conviction challenge which convinces the judge of a need for a new trial or that there were other legal defects. This is an exceedingly difficult task, since the law requires all reasonably available evidence to be presented at the first trial; any evidence not so presented is deemed to be waived. In years past, prosecutors occasionally resolved felony cases via an agreement wherein the case would be reopened and changed to a misdemeanor if the defendant stayed out of trouble for a specified period of time and accomplish other agreed tasks. The WI Supreme Court, however, struck down this procedure as illegal in a decision about ten years ago and declared such sentences to be illegal. Anyone who has such a sentence is therefore allowed to get their felony conviction reopened if they pursue their rights. If you need it, I can locate the citation of this case for you.

However, I may be able to formally represent you if you contact my Racine office and make arrangements to retain me. I also represent clients throughout WI.
