Fostering positive outcomes through strategic advocacy

Since 1980, Schiro Criminal Defense has successfully represented clients accused of various crimes, including domestic violence, OWI, sex crimes, internet crimes, drug crimes, and white collar crimes. We have also effectively guided a number of clients through the appellate process. John Schiro, our Milwaukee criminal defense lawyer, has over 40 years of experience and maintains a proven track record of obtaining acquittals, reduced penalties, and case dismissals. With so much time spent in the courtroom, we have had the opportunity to develop good relationships with the judges and prosecutors. This goes a long way in helping us secure positive outcomes for our clients in both the plea bargain and trial phases.
