Attorney Vanden Heuvel is acknowledged as one of the top law enforcement attorneys in Wisconsin and litigated the most significant Wisconsin Supreme Court case involving law enforcement. She was admitted to the United States Supreme Court as a result of her representation of a police officer’s wife who was injured by a criminal waiting to “get even” with the police.
