Kevin DeVore tried a Criminal Sexual Conduct case to a Washington County jury in April 2024. During the 8-day trial, DeVore called two forensic expert witnesses, plus several fact and character witnesses in his client’s defense. DeVore also cross examined two expert witnesses for the state, the alleged victim, and other law enforcement witnesses called by the state.

Kevin is happy to announce that he helped his client get two felony charges dismissed after a contested preliminary hearing in St. Croix County, Wisconsin. Charged with Felony Strangulation and Felony Stalking, Kevin and his client challenged the probable cause to support the charges. The State called one witness who testified. On cross examination, Kevin was able to get the officer to admit the State was lacking evidence to support the two felony charges. At the completion of the hearing, the Judge dismissed the two felony charges, thus opening the door for Kevin to quickly resolve the remaining misdemeanor charges. Another happy client.
