A criminal defense lawyer you can count on.

Hi there—I’m Tripp Stroud, founder and attorney at Valley View Law. My office is in Spring Green, Wisconsin. I work exclusively on representing folks accused of committing a crime. It is truly an honor to stand up for the good people of rural Wisconsin in their most trying moments.

When you work with my firm this is what you can expect: Good communication, respect, direct advice, and integrity. My business comes from word-of-mouth referrals and good reviews from our customers. That’s because I work hard to get a good result for my clients—whether it’s a not guilty verdict, a fair settlement, or avoiding criminal charges altogether.

It’s not easy to pick a lawyer. I understand. There are important things to look for. Number 1 is whether you are going to be treated with respect and professionalism. Many of my clients hire me on the spot because they feel respected and listened to.

My practice is focused on rural Wisconsin. I represent folks from Lancaster, Platteville, Richland Center, Muscoda, Dodgeville, Darlington, Baraboo, Reedsburg, and everywhere in between. I have defended clients from serious felony charges around the state.

It’s a privilege to practice as a criminal defense lawyer in rural Wisconsin. There are several reasons why. First, the work aligns with my values and personal beliefs about the inherent dignity of every human being. Second, my clients are some of the kindest and most goodhearted people that I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Third, I believe in American freedom and liberty. I get to go to work everyday fighting to keep people like you or your loved one free. There’s nothing else like it.
