MADISON, WI, March 29, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Christopher T. (Chris) Van Wagner and Tracey A. Wood joined their already successful law practices more than a decade ago to form Van Wagner & Wood, S.C., a firm exclusively devoted to the defense of people charged with criminal or drunk driving offenses.
ATTORNEY CHRISTOPHER T. VAN WAGNER is a repeated Super Lawyers honoree, three time recipient of the Martin Hanson Advocate Prize (a statewide honor bestowed upon Chris for numerous homicide acquittals), with a continuous "AV" rating (Eminent Lawyer by peer-review), and one of a handful of Dane County attorneys to have been repeatedly named Madison's Best Criminal Defense Lawyers.
One of 11 children born to a middle-class Irish Catholic New Jersey couple, Chris attributes his success in law to his topnotch education while attending an Ivy League law school (Cornell Law School, 1981, Law Review Editor), his boardroom manners to years at a world-renowned Illinois corporate law firm (Mayer Brown, LaSalle Street), his ingrained courtroom sense and sound jury trial skills to years trying more than 50 felony trials to verdict as a state prosecutor (Trenton, New Jersey) and numerous federal conspiracy cases to verdict as a federal prosecutor (Madison, Wisconsin).
Attorney Van Wagner has won several very high profile jury trials, including many murder and sexual assault cases, the most recent one of which was a dismissal of nine felony counts of sexual assault.
ATTORNEY TRACEY WOOD is a repeated Super Lawyers honoree, the only criminal and drunk driving defense attorney named to the "Top 25 Women" attorneys in Wisconsin, and is widely regarded as Wisconsin's top female criminal traffic defense lawyer. Tracey A. Wood is Wisconsin's first attorney ever appointed as a Standardized Field Sobriety Test Instructor, the first Wisconsin attorney - male or female - ever appointed to the Board of Regents for the National College for DUI Defense. She is the president of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers - the largest organized association of criminal defense lawyers in Wisconsin - and past president of the Dane County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. Tracey has repeatedly been named as one of Madison's Best Criminal Defense Lawyers. Attorney Tracey Wood has authored Challenging Prior Under The Influence Convictions, and contributed to Drunk Driving Defense (the DUI defense attorney's bible). She is currently writing a Wisconsin treatise on OWI laws and practice.
Attorney Wood has represented more than 2,000 people against drunk driving charges. She has successfully litigated federal cases, Wisconsin Supreme Court appeals, Wisconsin Court of Appeals cases and numerous trials including many that violated her clients' Constitutional rights with illegal police stops prior to arrest (illegal searches and seizures).
