About Corey
Biography
Attorney Mehlos graduated with honors from the University of Notre Dame and the University of Wisconsin Law School. During law school, Attorney Mehlos participated in the Wisconsin Innocence Project, handling 10 post-conviction homicide and assault cases. That experience provided Attorney Mehlos with the foundation to surgically attack highly-complex cases involving tough facts and tailor creative solutions to achieve outstanding results for his clients.
Attorney Mehlos has worked relentlessly to achieve outstanding results for his clients in cases ranging from homicide cases, personal injury lawsuits, to helping families with child protective services. In his first case out of law school, Attorney Mehlos sued a multimillion dollar corporation and won. Attorney Mehlos serves on the Executive Board for the Wisonsin Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys and has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star for 2019 and 2020.
Attorney Mehlos' clients appreciate the long hours he puts in to help them and their families through some of the most difficult and stressful moments of their lives. Attorney Mehlos believes in working with his clients as a team to achieve the best results. His favorite part about being a lawyer is being able to call his clients to tell them their case has been dismissed, celebrating after trial victories, and receiving a Christmas card or a text long after their case is over.

Corey is absolutely fantastic.
06/30/2024 While going through a very contentious divorce, my son was charged with child abuse by the ex-wife and her mother.
