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.

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.
