Do NOT HIRE HIM

In 2014 I was arrested in racine for disorderly conduct or criminal damage to property or domestic abuse or fighting . I'm not sure cause it has changed depending on the situation. This after a mysterious phone call by a still unknown person that probably just was thrown out of my house for trying ...to plot against me for financial gain. See in 2014 I was the first geoge flyod I was assaulted in cuffs by 12 officers in racine County jail. Before even arriving to jail I didn't have any injury to my face shoulders back neck hips ...my shoes were on my feet not cut off. I was not being slammed on a wall ...lifted by my cuffed arms and legs facing down tearing both my shoulders and hips. A knee firmly planted in my neck while my legs were in the air and whn I gasped for air and struggled to breathe and told the officers I couldn't breathe ...the officer told me if I could talk I could breathe. After being offered water by a in house nurse, I was strapped to a chair and hooded much like you would see a pow after being captured and tortured. After several hours of agonizing pain I was carried limply to my cell where I remained unprocessed in due time as required by law for 3 days offered no medical assistance or a phone call. I was released on 300 dollars 4 days after the incident on what was supposedly disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. At this point I'm unsure of what is damaged because the only thing happening whn the police arrived is me throwing out already damage property THAT BELONGS TO ME. I look to find an attorney after being not only wrongfully arrested but assaulted after. I found him at Henry law office in Kenosha for 5000 plus. After what I would call the quickest 30 mins ever to determine ones fate. I ended up pleading no contest and being charged with disorderly conduct with a domestic enhancement. I was told that because my girlfriend at the time was there even though not a single thing happened other than being shocked and having the house illegal searched and and her cornered and questioned and her going to court after still being confused as to why I was even arrested. Still was enough for a domestic enhancement according to Wisconsin and only the fact that the police showed up at all was enough for disorderly conduct. And that the jury would be constantly reminded that despite the facts of the case this is the law. And tht I should take the plea deal that I'm being given even though I have never got to make a statement the fact I was assaulted by 12 officers means nothing even though it sounds like those officers felt they were judge jury and executioner. The fact the the only property damage that occurred was to my already broken wardrobe and to property owned by me and broken by racine county police. I was in record for all of less then 30 mins throughout the months of deliberation that never changed. He insisted that he worked for racine and it would be this way and easier than a trial...however swiftly added that I should try to have it pardoned in the future because it is such a weak case. Personally racine da office called in a favor on him .....and did I mention no charges on me or the police for their action ...huh...not even mentioned one time in court either. Only a single sentence in the report indicating any action at all occupied between me and 13 officers that night. I have permanent damage from the night of Jan 18 2014. 2 torn shoulders 2 torn hips neck damage back damage face damage night terrors every night. Since thn I have had 2 disc's in my back fixed and one of 2 hips fixed and the fixed one is not doing well the police stretched out both Achilles one tore already the other could at any time. He did nothing but side with racine county and their lies and brutality towards me..he never assured me justice at all and it ultimately allowed for me to be assaulted again Nov 14 2017 ...by just as many officers in my garage under my truck .....no charges filed

Excellent Attorney

I hired Jeremy to represent me in my divorce. He was always prompt to reply to questions and timely with status updates. He went out of his way on multiple occasions to accommodate my needs. He was always honest, and pleasant to work with. He was patient and kind during my difficult emotional divorce.... I can't say enough. He was great!
