Great

He’s A Little Scary When Arguing Against The Courts But That Maybe What Gets The Job Done. He Got Me 3 Years Of Probation For A Felony Shooting Case With Multiple Cooperating Victims. The Gun, My DNA, And Matching Ballistics. We Found The Source In Need Of Rehabilitation And Got It Done And Made The ...Courts Feel That No Jail Time Was Needed. I Highly Recommend Him.

Extremely helpful

I had parking tickets from years ago that were in the way of getting a new vechile registered. Tony went to court and was able to get the amount dropped by a significant amount! He is professional, respectful and extremely easy to talk to.

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!
