ABOUT ATTORNEY SASA:
Sasa arrived in the United States in 2004 with the belief that the American dream would reward hard work and persistence. After working for minimum wage for two years, Sasa saved up enough money to attend Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He graduated summa cum laude while working full-time to fund his education.
Sasa continued to work breaks when he attended the University of Wisconsin Law School. Yet, he still found time to do what he enjoys most: helping others resolve their problems. Sasa volunteered at the Unemployment Appeals Clinic and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Despite the enormous workload, Sasa earned the high grades in criminal law courses and received the highest grade of the class in Wisconsin Negligence Law.

Johnen is the man
I'm a college student at the University of Wisconsin Madison. I had one bad night where I received 3 tickets from school police. I hired Sasa and he got all three tickets removed for 300 dollars, saving me almost 800 dollars and left me with a clean record. All college kids with legal issues should h...

Excellent Service
Sasa did an exceptional job with my case. He was available for questions when needed and followed through with his promises. Would recommend to anyone looking to get their charges dismissed in the event of an underage drinking ticket.

My son had minor case but I did not want it to appear on his record for fear it may impact future job opportunities. Attorney Johnen understood my concerns and within 6 months, everything was resolved successfully!
