Fur traders were the first European settlers to move into what is now the city of Appleton. Located strategically along the Fox River, Appleton was a great place to set up and conduct business. The Valley Fair Shopping Center, built in Appleton in 1954, was the nation’s first enclosed shopping.

The Appleton lawyers are quite skilled in a number of areas of law including personal injury, automobile accidents, contracts, wrongful death, defamation, sexual harassment, divorce, alimony, child support, criminal defense, DUI, bankruptcy and more.

An Appleton man was recently arrested and faces multiple charges of burglary. The police had been keeping tabs on a convenience store that had called in two alarms during the previous month.  The police watched security cameras as the Appleton man entered the store the same way the previous two alarms had been sounded. At that point, the police closed in and pursued the man who eventually surrendered.

Appleton is served by the Outagamie County Circuit Court. This court is a trial level court of general jurisdiction for the state of Wisconsin, and has the power to hear both civil and criminal cases. Having a local lawyer by your side would be an advantage for you in your case.
