The best around

When I had gotten a letter in the mail from Johnen law offices saying that they could help with my speeding ticket and help get it taken off of my record I decided to give them a try and Sasa Johnen really helped me out with this one. If I had kept this ticket my insurance rates would’ve gone up and ...honestly the price was great too. All in all I’d highly recommend if you get a letter in the mail from Johnen law offices, don’t pass it up, they can definitely help with your driving violations/tickets.

One of the best consultations I've received

I recently contacted Sasa Johnen for a consultation regarding an ordinance violation that was resolved a few years ago, but it showed up in my background check because I was fingerprinted and it cost me a job in 2018(which he said it shouldn't). Sasa was very patient, listened to me fully, understood... what my position was and helped me out very quickly. I really appreciate what he has done for me, given such short notice. I wouldn't think twice if I had to work with him again. His thoroughness, his patience and his willingness to help can never be overstated. Thank you for everything you've done, Sasa.

Responsive, professional, efficient, and effective! Case dismissed!

My son was about to start his freshman year at UW Madison and received an underage drinking citation. The court date conflicted with his classes and we were concerned about him having this on his record. Mr. Johnen's firm answered questions on a web chat and he was quick to reply to emails over the w...eekend. Once we hired him, he spoke with our son to get details about the incident. He attended the court hearing (my son did not need to go), and then did the necessary work to prepare for another scheduled appointment with the court. He was successful in getting the case dismissed and my son's record cleared. We are out of state and Sasa's taking charge of the situation gave us peace of mind and allowed our son to focus on his studies. The fee was barely more than the ticket would have cost and it was well worth it. Mr. Johnen was responsive, professional, efficient, and effective. We couldn't have asked for more. We recommend him highly.

Underage Drinking Ticket

Got an underage ticket in my dormitory my freshman year. The reason for the ticket was bogus and Mr. Johnen was able to use that in my defense. Sasa's office had excellent communication and was able to get my case dismissed with no issues. Highly recommend if you want to pay an extra $40 so that it w...on't be put on your record vs. just paying the fine and having it on your record.

Professional and kind to work with

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!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
