Very professional, responsive and effective

I hired Jay to handle a serious traffic matter for a relative. As a lawyer myself, I have pretty high standards for lawyers I hire. I have to say that I was impressed with Jay and his firm from the first phone call to him and throughout the entire case. Jay asked far more questions in the initial ...interview than other attorneys we had talked with. As we talked, he was laser focused - already coming up with ways to defend the case. Jay's written communications with us were detailed and very timely - mailed out the same day as the case was up in court or on pretrial conference. Like any lawyer worth his mettle, Jay didn't promise us any particular result - he gave us the best and worst case scenarios. We were very pleased with the settlement Jay was able to achieve and especially glad that he was able to dispose of the case so quickly. The firm's billing statements were always accurate and arrived like clockword each month. The total fee was right in line with what Jay told us to expect. I highly recommend Jay for criminal and traffic matters. He's a very skilled, respected and professional attorney.

Two Criminal Charges Dropped- Reduced to a fine - Madison

Jay Englund was able to take over a very diluted and drawn out case against myself; track it's history, understand the facts as well as misunderstandings - and provide results that were outside of even my best expectations. Had I known Jay 18 months ago, I personally believe I could have saved mysel...f an enormous amount of time, money and most importantly - missed opportunities. Jay literally allowed me to understand what was actually happening and what needed to be done to get from point A to point B after two previous attorneys and 18 months of toiling could not. He told me precisely what he needed, when, and why. Jay was ultra proactive and supported by a staff that allowed him to do so - Thank you Megan as well. My charges had stemmed from previous charges that I had never fully understood; hence, they became of a criminal nature. I did not understand the recourse possible until Jay explained them to me. He had done all due diligence previous to our initial conversation, so when he spoke to me - he was completely informed of all 18 months of mixed letters, hearings, etc. Within 8 minutes of speaking with Jay - I understood the severity of my situation and why. Within 15 days - Jay was able to assemble the material necessary to have my criminal charges dropped to a fine. Jay's ability to distill the piles of information given to him down to a clear series of events pertinent to the law was absolutely one of the most admirable acts of intelligence and efficiency I have seen. From there, things made sense, and everything fell into place in a manner which was impeccable. Jay is free to give my number to anyone attempting to decide whether or not to obtain his services.

Amazing Representation

Jay is an amazing and trustworthy attorney. I had a very messy OWI case in sauk county that no other attorney I spoke with in Wisconsin would take. My concequences were huge if I was convicted. Jay worked out a deal where my OWI was dropped, and he did it at less than half the cost the other lawers... quoted, and without a conviction, Thanks Jay

I highly recommend Jay Englund

My husband and I hired Jay about about 3 months ago to represent me due to my second dui as well as my third driving after revocation, as well as a few other minor traffic violations. Quite a few family members and friends tried to disuade me from hiring a lawyer and I couldn't be happier that I did ...not take their advice. It was worth every penny.We spoke w/quite a few lawyers and from the get go Jay stood out to us. He was extremely professional and friendly. He is a no nonsense kind of guy and told it to us straight. Within the first 15 min of meeting w/jay we knew we wanted him to represent me. He constantly kept in touch w/me and kept us updated on every aspect of my case. I can honestly say I trusted him completely to do the best possible job and work as hard as he could on my specific case. In the end Jay received the best possible resolution I could have asked for. I highly recommend Jay Englund and in the future will tell anyone to meet w/him if they are in any kind of legal trouble.
