Professional and Personable

There is a saying “people like to work with people they like” and this is not only true from a client attorney relationship, but this was very evident in Mr. England’s relationship with everyone we encountered in the Souk County legal system. Accused of OWI 1st offence with minors is no walk in the p...ark. Jay was very clear on all the aspects of the charges that I was facing and held no punches. Then he went to work diligently reviewing all aspects and there were many, built the case and in the end DISMISSAL. Follow his advice to the letter he knows what he is doing.

professional and to the point

Being accused of driving under the influence, Jay dug deep into the case reviewing all the video evidence to prove they pulled over the wrong person. Jay is thorough. A proven leader in his line of work. I would recommend Jay to any family member or friend without hesitation. Thank you Jay for bei...ng so good at what you do and keeping my record clean.

OWI 1st Offense with Refusal to take test

EXCELLENT SERVICE!! I was charged with OWI 1st offense AND Refusal to Take Test. Attorney Englund was referred to me, and I am so thankful he was! I was looking at a dismal outcome and was going to give up and just accept my sentence but Attorney Englund refused to give up on me. After MUCH... hard work and tenacious digging, not only did I not have to have an IID (interlocking ignition device) installed in my vehicle, but he fought hard and my "OWI 1st Offense" was amended down to a "Wreckless Driving"! (This was unbelievable...I had NO idea he would be able to get this reduced!!) I would HIGHLY recommend Jay's hard working, never give up professionalism! I really appreciate all he has done for me, this has honestly changed my life!! Thanks again!!! :-)

I could not have asked for a better attorney!

Jay was terrific from start to finish throughout my entire DWI-1 case. He laid out the entire process for me in the first call and he updated me promptly along the way. I never felt as though I was left in the dark concerning my fate and I never felt the need to check in on his progress. He felt conf...ident in my case and I believed him. It wasn't just lip service to get my business. Everything Jay told me that would happen did and I'm very grateful that I chose him as my attorney. I don't believe it would have gone as favorably with the few other attorneys I talked to in the beginning. Additionally, Jay's assistant Megan was very helpful. Anytime I ever needed anything clarified or had additional questions she would respond to me right away. I can't thank Jay and Megan enough for getting me through this nerve-racking process and I would recommend them 100% without hesitation to anyone else stuck in a similar situation.

The best of the best!

I cannot say enough good things about Jay! He is the best of the best! I was facing an OWI - 1st offense. I received the ticket due to leaving my home in which I had been the victim of domestic violence. I was very nervous about hiring an attorney for an OWI case, because most of the time I had heard... that you still face the charges in the end but I took my chances. Jay never once promised me the world like some attorneys do, he was very up front with me and kept me informed at every step of my case. He dug deep into all the facts and worked with me and the DA to resolve my case. Jay is one of the few attorneys that I know of that works for you! He does not sugar coat a thing…if you want someone that is honest, straight to the point, hardworking and the best then Jay is the attorney you must hire! I will be forever thankful for what Jay has done for me!
