Carl B. Johnson is a Racine-born criminal-defense attorney at Cafferty & Scheidegger, S.C., licensed in Wisconsin since 2006. His primary practice is criminal defense (from misdemeanors through serious felonies including drug offenses, gun crimes, domestic violence, property crimes, homicide, and sexual assault) with extensive trial experience including numerous first-degree intentional homicide and sexual assault cases.
On the traffic side, Carl handles matters that intersect with criminal law for Wisconsin Ticket Specialists clients: reckless driving (Wis. Stat. § 346.62), OWI-adjacent stops, operating after revocation (Wis. Stat. § 343.44), CDL violations with criminal exposure, and juvenile traffic cases that the firm takes on across Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties. Through his hard work, Carl has obtained numerous acquittals and dismissals for his clients.
Carl has been with the firm since 2020 and is admitted to practice in the State of Wisconsin and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. He is a member of the bar associations in both Racine and Kenosha counties, the two courts where the firm practices most often. He resides in Kenosha with his wife and two daughters.
