Defense in Green County
What a Green County case actually needs
Green County criminal cases are heard at the Green County Courthouse in Monroe. Communities served include New Glarus, Brodhead, Monticello, and the county's traffic runs on WI-69 and WI-11.
Green County cases move through Monroe, and a striking number of them involve people just passing through - the highways from Madison to the Illinois line, tourist traffic to New Glarus, and the ordinary business of a border county. Local or not, the case stays in Monroe, and it needs a lawyer willing to appear there.
Glenn E. Avena takes Green County OWI, drug and misdemeanor matters and handles as much of the case as possible without extra trips for you.

Green County questions
Where are criminal cases heard in Green County?
At the Green County Courthouse in Monroe. 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 Green County from Madison?
Yes. His practice covers the courthouses of South-Central Wisconsin, and Green County is part of that footprint. Consultations happen by phone or at the Madison office; court appearances happen in Monroe. Distance changes nothing about the preparation the case receives.
How fast should I act after an arrest in Green 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.
Is a first OWI in Green County treated differently than in Madison?
The statute is the same everywhere in Wisconsin - a standard first offense is a civil forfeiture of $150 to $300 plus surcharges and license consequences. What varies by county is process: how the prosecutor negotiates, how the judge handles occupational licenses, and how quickly dates arrive. Local process is where a lawyer earns their fee.
