Posted by Cory | September 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Highly Reccomend

Mr De Los Santos Jr did a great job. I spoke with him over the phone and he immediately under stood what needed to be done to get my case dropped. I received a speeding ticket and missed the court date, the result of missing my court date caused my license to be revoked. Mr De Los Santos Jr was able ...to reopen my speeding ticket and reinstate my license. I didn't even have to go to court case saving me time and money. I would highly recommend.

Posted by Mike | January 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Hired for a small claims case, discovered the plaintiff was trying to double-dip, saved us hundreds of dollars.

I hired this firm to handle a small-claims collections case regarding medical bill debt. Tony discovered the collection agency was trying to double-bill us! After getting the amount truly owed straightened out, Tony was able to negotiate an out-of-court settlement where the case was dismissed, nobody... had to set foot in a court room, and even after the lawyers' fees, we still came out ahead by several hundred dollars vs if we had just paid the original lawsuit amount. Plus, I value my time greatly, and didn't have to spend my time getting all stressed out trying to argue with the collection agency. This firm handled it all for me, with minimal effort on my part. Highly recommended.

Best attorney in the State of Wisconsin!!

Earlier this year, I was involved in a domestic violence incident. After 5 days in jail, I was bailed out, had felony charges pending, and was on house arrest. I was left with the difficult choice of hiring an attorney to represent me to get the best outcome possible. It wasn't long before I received... many solicitations in the mail from various defense attorneys. I started by looking up reviews online and calling for consultations. With my first court date approching quickly, I made the poor choice of hiring an attorney without doing much research. It soon became evident that he was just another sign-and-plea lawyer that was just looking for a quick payout. He was late to several of my court dates and did not seem too interested in fighting hard for me. On several occasions he told me in the best case scenario, I would have to take a plea deal which would have affected my criminal record as well as my gun rights and job searches for life. On the third court date, my lawyer did not even show up! At this point, I realized it was time to hire a real attorney to help me get thru this difficult time. Soon after, I came in contact with Attorney Gerardo A. De Los Santos Jr. During the consultation, he reassured me, everything was going to be okay and was confident my case would be dismissed. It's also worth mentioning his fees to represent me were suprizingly affordable and Tony also accepted many forms of payment. It almost sounded too good to be true but on the first court date, Tony showed up on time for court and was able to remove the GPS/ house arrest conditions of bail. This is something my previous attorney was unable to do. My case was then calendared for trial several months away. In the meantime, if I had any questions or concerns, Tony was always helpful in answering them and was easy to get ahold of. Several days before my trial, he sent me a quick text reminding me of the upcoming court date. On the day of trial, he showed up on time and as predicted, all charged against me were dismissed. This was such a relief I needed in a stressful time. Tony worked hard to fight for me and is a prime example of what all attorneys should strive to be. Thank you Tony and keep up the hard work!

Straight Forward, Aggressive, and fast!

I hired this attorney to help me collect a business-to-business debt that was owed to our company for more than a year. After retaining attorney Santos the debt was settled in less than two weeks. I like the fact that he worked fast and was aggressive in trying to retain my funds!
