I am very glad I hired Mr. Englund

I discovered Mr. Englund by accident. A family member needed strong counseling in an unfamiliar county in Wisconsin. Jay quickly dissected the case and made a bold recommendation. He assured us he possessed the knowledge and skills needed to prevail. Boy was he right. Everything went just as he sa...id it would. No surprises. 100% satisfaction! Thank You.

2 Sexual Assault felonies Dropped to Nothing! Case Dismissed :-)

2 felonies dropped to NOTHING, case DISMISSED. I thank God for the day when Jay Englund was introduced to me. Prior to jay i have changed 2 Lawyers,none of them was of any help. Jay got right to work from day 1, he has given me right advice at the right time. The way Jay worked made me feel like ...i was one of his close friends or a family member. Jay was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable of the legal system. He clearly communicated the legal options. He took action to gather all evidence and thoroughly reviewed it and the facts of the case. He built a strong strategy and effectively communicated it to me. He was direct, honest and fair. He was compassionate to me and my family. He not only helped me with the criminal aspects of my case, but also with personal aspects of my life. I highly recommend his services to anyone that has a need for his superior legal services. I can't say enough as to how impressed I was with Jay! If your in similar trouble as i am in Wisconsin then Jay is your man.

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.

I highly Recommand this Great Lawyer

I got charges because of misunderstanding for something that I did not do. I almost thought, that would destroy my professional career and my reputation. It looked very difficult for me to get out of that situation, without a HUGE loss. Jay Englund handled the case in best possible manner and as a re...sult, the outcome we got was simply amazing. Jay Englund tried to get the best result during each phase of the case. As case was moving on, he found more and more things that could make my side stronger. And within few weeks he was able to bring up all facts and realities; which turned the case around in my favor. Jay worked on my case with full dedication and I really think he is subject matter expert. At every single step of that case, Jay Englund kept me posted with latest developments. Any time, in his absence, whenever i had called his office, his staff members communicated with me very politely. No matter, how much busy Jay's schedule was, he was very committed to communicate with me and provided updates. My Family and I are truly thankful to Jay Englund .
