Exceptional Legal Representation – Highly Recommend!

I recently had the privilege of working with Corey Mehlos, and I can honestly say they provided the best legal support I could have asked for. From the moment I contacted their office, it was clear that I was in good hands. The team was professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping m...e navigate my case. What stood out the most was Corey’s in-depth knowledge of criminal law and their strategic approach to defending clients. They took the time to fully understand the details of my case and explained all my options in a clear, concise way. Throughout the entire process, they kept me informed, never left me guessing, and were always available to answer any questions I had. The most impressive part was how they handled negotiations and the court proceedings. Their ability to think critically and react quickly to unexpected developments showed not only their expertise but also their dedication to getting the best possible outcome for their clients. In the end, Corey was able to achieve an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I truly believe I would not have had the same result without their guidance and support. If you're in need of a criminal defense attorney in Wisconsin, I cannot recommend Corey enough. They are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and will fight for you every step of the way!

Great lawyer, committed, caring and gets results!

My young son was arrested and we had a very complicated case. I hired Atty. Mehlos based on the many great reviews his previous clients gave him. He's a very compassionate, intelligent, approachable and very professional. He was able to resolve the case in our favor and with outstanding outcomes. My... son and our family are forever grateful for the incredible job he did for our son. If we ever need an attorney in the future, he will be our top choice. Thanks, for your work!

Hire this man if you have a crazy ex

Corey is an outstanding lawyer who has an unparalleled amount of drive. He has an infinite amount of potential. He is the number one choice when you have a crazy ex set out for destruction: hence the divorce, criminal charge, and restraining order package deal. He is well mannered and extremely pr...ofessional. I would recommend him to anyone in any legal situation because he did a great job of counseling me on a personal basis and helping me work through the issues with my divorce with excellent results. Primarily, he worked with me to get a felony case reduced to a misdemeanor and another felony case dismissed by the prosecutor so that I did not need to serve a single day in jail. When my wife later filed for a restraining order, he was was able to prove that my ex was just using the restraining order as leverage and convince the Judge to deny the restraining order.

The most caring, compassionate, down to earth GOOD man and lawyer ever!!!

My son had a very serious charge being made against him and Corey went above and beyond anything we couldn't even thought about! He always called to check in on how not only my son but also how his father and I were doing too. Corey was in contact with other lawyers to get a little extra input to mak...e our case even stronger and with the attention to not only the major, but also the small details that others wouldn't have worried about, Corey spent a lot of time on. He was able to not only have that charge dismissed, but reached an agreement that my son was ok with! I truly believe if not for the time and patience of Corey, my son's life would've been ruined! So, I would and have told everyone I know that if any legal issues were to come up, Corey IS the best person to hand on your team!

Posted by Caley | December 10, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

WI's BEST Criminal Defense Attorney!

Mr. Mehlos has done an exceptional job while representing me, and I cannot say enough positive things about his true character in caring for his clients and their well being. After receiving my first DUI offense in the state of IL nearly two years prior, and relocating to my home area of North Cen...tral Wisconsin to work at my dream job at one of the largest media companies in the U.S , I was suddenly at a loss when I found myself in an extremely unique situation. A simple traffic violation for speeding on my way to work, resulted in a lengthy and stressful situation between two court systems; that of The State of IL, and that of The State of WI., neither of which, allowed me to drive legally in WI. I contacted several attorneys from Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee, as well as 2 judges from the County in which I previously resided in and received my DUI in, since I knew them on a personal level through our Yacht Club. However, even they had no recommendations as to what could even remotely suffice to allow me to drive in the state of WI, which is where I was living, and am born and raised. I hired Mr. Mehlos and from that point on, everything fell perfectly into place, thanks to him. Mr. Mehlos worked diligently with me to provide me with updated facts and kept in constant contact to let me know exactly where we were in the process, and what to potentially expect, etc. Having never been through any legal issues prior, I was extremely grateful, as he made me feel completely informed and comfortable, not to mention, I knew without a doubt, that I was in good hands. Mr. Mehlos worked “outside the box”, and got creative, especially when no other lawyers from that of Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, would even touch my case, as they weren’t competent to do so. Mr. Mehlos not only saved my job (since I was an outside sales manager for the state, which required legal driving privileges), but also received verbal recognition from the judge himself, who came out of his chambers (early), and deemed that he had never seen such a well prepared court hearing for a DUI case in all of his 30+ years!
