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.

There is no other attorney I would want to represent me.

I hired Jay last December to handle my felony DUI. From the moment I walked into his office to the last day in court, Jay and his office staff were kind, respectful and caring. I had never been through something like this before so I had a lot of questions and was very scared and nervous. Jay was a...lways very responsive and reassuring. I was facing up to 2 years in prison. Due to the fact that Jay is very knowledgable on the new DUI laws, he was able to get my sentence down to 30 days in the county jail with Huber and 3 years probation. Needless to say, I am pleased with the outcome. Jay also went so far as to assist me in securing a job in my home county so I could serve my sentence there. To me this is above and beyond what your typical attorney would do. This is what makes Jay stand out from other attorneys. I would not hesitate to recommend Jay.

Professional review concerning Attorney Jay Englund, Criminal Defense Attorney

Early in 2012, I was charged with a crime that would have devastated my personal and professional reputation, if convicted. Having never been in trouble criminally, this experience was the most traumatic and devastating experience I have ever endured. I contacted several attorneys prior to formally... deciding which attorney to hire. I used every logical approach I could think of. I spent hours researching attorneys’ websites, called an impartial entity designed to refer attorneys for certain cases (which directed me to an attorney that did not respond to my phone call for 2 days), asked people I trusted, etc. I was at a loss, to say the least. I knew the stakes were high, and I wish I had more to rely on than my “gut” and whatever information I was able to find. The only attorney I developed any rapport with was Attorney Jay Englund. The website of Pemberton & Englund Law Offices provided a glowing first impression, and I knew that Attorney Englund was not only a partner in the firm, but that he specialized 100% in criminal defense. When I called Attorney Englund’s office for the first time, his assistant, Megan, immediately ensured my ability to speak with Attorney Englund personally to address all of my needs with the highest possible level of care. Attorney Englund was willing to carefully examine and discuss all of my concerns professionally, and without judgment, and I could tell during our conversation that he was passionate about his work, and that I could trust him. Not just with “a case,” but with MY case. From before I even hired him, until after the pleasant disposition of my case, Attorney Englund was more attentive to my needs as a client than I expected. I figured getting an attorney on the phone whenever I had a question was an unreasonable request. And for many attorneys, that is probably the case. Despite his busy schedule, Attorney Englund was always attentive to my concerns and needs. Even if he was in trial all day, my calls were promptly returned by Attorney Englund, and he made sure to address all of my needs before ending the call. Moreover, Attorney Englund examined EVERY angle of my case, and shared everything that he saw, and thoroughly discussed how he planned to approach every scenario, and specifically informed me of why his experience indicates that he is providing the best approach. During a situation in which I felt I had no control, it was comforting to have somebody updating me every step of the way. I knew nothing about criminal law prior to the case in which I received superb representation, and I will be forever grateful that I hired the best attorney for the job.
