Jay M. Englund

Jay Englund worked for many months on a case where I was charged with OWI/DUI, but he got the case dismissed after a lot of careful detail work on his part--work that I would never have thought about myself, or had access to, such as police camera footage, timelines, and various points of Wisconsin l...aw. (I am not from Wisconsin, but Jay also got in touch with a lawyer in my state to sound out the issues). Both the prosecutor and judge in Wisconsin were convinced by Jay to dismiss the case pretrial. This was my first experience with such a charge, but I feel with full confidence that Jay is a five-star defender and extremely recommendable. He was very professional and communicative throughout.

I managed to quickly accumulate three OWI arrests in three different counties. Things looked pretty hopeless in terms of having to spend real time in jail. Jay worked tirelessly to shepherd me through this legal maze. Jay identified enough legal problems with each of the cases that I was able to plea...d out to minor charges with no impact on my ability to keep working at my job. In pretrial hearings, Jay was incredibly effective in examining the arresting officers. His sharp questioning forced the arresting officers into making admissions about my arrests that destroyed the State’s cases against me. Sitting in the courtroom and watching him question the officers and present legal arguments to the judge convinced me that I had the best representation available. Because Jay was interested in learning the facts, and had a clear understanding of Wisconsin law, when he couldn’t convince the prosecutor to give up an argument before court, he crushed the prosecutor in front of the judge. I am hopeful that I will never need Jay’s services again, but if a friend ever needs a criminal defense lawyer in Wisconsin, Jay will be my first recommendation.

This review is as REAL as it gets! Charged with Felony 5th OWI, Felony refusal to give blood. During which caught ANOTHER case Felony Bail jumping, and Felony possession of narcotics. End result Felony 5th OWI AND Felony Refusal....DISMISSED. Felony possession dropped, plead out the Felony bail jumpi...ng NO JAIL TIME, NO PROBATION!!! Now not only was hiring Jay the best decision I have ever made...and yes the outcome of both cases better than I ever imagined....that's not even the icing on the cake...bottom line Jay M. Englund literally saved my life! Upon hiring him I was in a dark place where I have just about to give up on everything, Jay gave me suggestions not just to help with my case, more importantly to get my life on track. They were hard decision, but I listened to him and we'll I finally have my life back which I truly thought was coming to an end. Jay was with me by my side the ENTIRE way! As for my case....once Jay knew something, I knew something. He kept me posted 110% of the way, explained everything, clearly, and most importantly was 110% honest weather it was good or bad news/ thoughts of what to do. Between him and his secretary everything was documented, explained, and getting a hold of Jay for any reason was NEVER an issue! I can honestly say I have my life back, on track, and NOTHING holding me on a stand still 110 % because of making the decision to hir Jay Englund. Pricy yes but HE WORKED with me ways a lot of other lawyers wouldn't. When it comes to price....DO NOT LET IT DISCOURAGE YOU FROM HIRING HIM. For a guy that lives pay check to pay check....well worth every penny....and I wouldn't of had one issue paying more if needed. This review is a real as they come if your reading this. My case is over and I still have his number if I ever need him even just for advice I know I can count on him. He is more than a lawyer in my eyes. He is someone who I now trust with my life a great friend....and I feel I can never truly pay him back for what he has done for me!

Jay worked relentlessly to uncover the evidence the police failed to obtain. His efforts resulted in a complete dismissal of the case against our child. Jay is direct with his advice and does everything he can to ensure the best outcome possible for his client. I would not hesitate to hire Jay aga...in if needed.

We engaged Attorney Englund's representation on behalf of a family member, He and his staff are knowledgeable, decisive, proactive, and delivered the best and least expensive possible outcome. Attorney Englund holds the secret decoder ring for Wisconsin criminal law. If the need arose, I would not he...sitate to hire him again.
