Posted by anonymous | July 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Fearless, Excellent, professional, dedicated, bold and relentless attorney.

I was wrongfully charged by The state of Wisconsin with Battery-Domestic Violence, and Disorderly conduct; each with 'use of a deadly weapon modifier'. Some corrupt law enforcement officials/cops planted evidence and falsified documentation, making the case nearly impossible to win; even with the all...eged victim testifying on my behalf. With Jesus on our side, Gerardo A. De Los Santos Jr. did an outstanding job, as my defense attorney, to put the district attorney's office to shame. Despite all the false circumstantial evidence, false testimonies, and false witnesses of the DA, he was able to bring the truth to light, discredit and expose the witnesses and their lies. After two days in a criminal jury trial, the 12 Jurors gave me a unanimous "NOT GUILTY" verdict on both charge counts. THANK YOU ATTORNEY DE LOS SANTOS, YOU'RE AWESOME! To God be all the glory. In JESUS Mighty Name. Amen!!!

Great service!

If you want an attorney thats, good, honest, and loyal to his customers, that listens, De Los Santos law office is the best. Attorney Santos was GREAT! He was very professional, respectful and understood exactly what needed to be done. He took time to evaluate the situation, investigate the issue and... review the evidence. Despite the situation, he heard my voice, gave me options and encouraged what was best. Due to his professionalism, the defendant and I were able to agree to disagree but resolve the problem. I had no problems getting in touch with Attorney Santos anytime I needed guidance, information or assistance. I was so pleased the case/issue was resolved prior to going to court and because of Attorney Santos and his excellent staff, i was able to settle out of court. Which let me know De Los Santos law office is for the people and was not after my money. I can say it was absolutely worth every penny I paid and I would do it again. Thank you De Los Santos law office! Joy.

Accused of DUI

I am used to "common legal services" in the past. Most lawyers are incredibly slow to return phone call or complete anything. This experience was different to say the least. I received immediate assistance after the incident occurred at 10pm. The attorney was close by at all times and a pit bull ...in court. I had my full driving privileges back and the charges dropped in no time. I would not hesitate to recommend this attorney to a close friend of family member.
