Charged in Dodge County? Attorney Glenn E. Avena defends OWI, drug, misdemeanor and felony cases in the Juneau courthouse, with straight answers from the first call.
Defense in Dodge County
What a Dodge County case actually needs
Dodge County criminal cases are heard at the Dodge County Courthouse in Juneau. Communities served include Beaver Dam, Mayville, Horicon, Waupun, and the county's traffic runs on US-151 and WI-33.
Dodge County criminal cases have a texture of their own. The county holds two state correctional facilities, so its docket carries matters other counties rarely see, and its prosecutors are used to repeat-offense OWI and felony files. That is not a reason to panic. It is a reason to bring a defense lawyer who reads the whole file before talking about outcomes.
Glenn E. Avena drives to Juneau from his Madison office for hearings and trials, and handles the between-court work - discovery, motions, and negotiation - without you needing to take a day off for every step.

Dodge County questions
Where are criminal cases heard in Dodge County?
At the Dodge County Courthouse in Juneau. That courthouse controls your dates, your judge, and the local process your case follows. Glenn E. Avena appears there for hearings and trials and handles preparation from his Madison office, so the courthouse's location is his commute, not yours.
Does Glenn Avena really come to Dodge County from Madison?
Yes. His practice covers the courthouses of South-Central Wisconsin, and Dodge County is part of that footprint. Consultations happen by phone or at the Madison office; court appearances happen in Juneau. Distance changes nothing about the preparation the case receives.
How fast should I act after an arrest in Dodge County?
Immediately. The early days decide what options survive: if you refused a chemical test in an OWI case, a written hearing request is due within 10 days under Wis. Stat. s. 343.305(9)(a)4, and evidence, video, and witness memory all fade. A free consultation costs nothing - waiting can cost options. Call 608.271.2271.
I have a case in Dodge County but I live somewhere else. Do I need a local lawyer?
You need a lawyer licensed in Wisconsin who will actually appear in Juneau - not necessarily one with an office there. Glenn E. Avena handles Dodge County cases from Madison, appears at your hearings, and manages the rest of the case by phone and email so distance stays a logistics detail rather than a problem.
