What are the Consequences of a Meth Conviction in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin state law has taken several measures to ensure that any sort of involvement with meth is illegal, including its possession, trafficking, sale, and manufacturing. While a first-time possession of methamphetamine is classified as a misdemeanor, a second or subsequent offenses are considered felonies and can carry up to 3 ½ years in prison and $10,000 in fines upon conviction.

Penalties for meth crimes may increase depending on the following factors:

  • The amount of meth found in a person’s possession
  • The location of the arrest
  • The defendant’s history of prior meth offenses

In addition to the immediate criminal consequences, a meth crime conviction can inflict major damage to a person’s reputation and minimize their future opportunities for employment, housing, or obtaining certain state-issued licenses. Given the severity of these consequences, if you have been charged with any sort of meth-related crime, it is vital you contact our office immediately to begin building your defense.
