Tireless, dedicated, and gets results

I was charged with OWI-1st over a year ago. After consulting with some of my law enforcement buddies, they unanimously recommended Jay Englund to help me fight my case. Jay reviewed my case, and was honest and up front with me about my chances of winning my case. What I didn't know, is that the "ch...ances" of winning my case has alot to do with how hard your attorney is willing to work. Yesterday, after 13 months, we finally had our day in court. I knew that Jay had spent countless hours going over every little detail of my case, but I didn't realize is how effective he is in the court room. Folks, if you are reading this review, you have to realize that Jay DOMINATES the court room. I walked into the courtroom with an uneasy feeling, but as the minutes ticked on and Jay started presenting evidence, I quickly gained more and more confidence. After 30 minutes of bringing up things that even I had forgotten about, quoting case law off the top of his head, and strategically questioning witnesses, there was no doubt HE had convinced the judge to throw out my case. And that's exactly what happened! Jay Englund is the Michael Jordan of attorneys. I cannot recommend him enough. If you are shopping for an attorney, believe me, you get what you pay for, but the intangibles are, how hard is your attorney going to work for you? Jay made me feel like I was his only client. The guy will simply bust his ass for you. In retrospect, I believe the difference between a good lawyer and great lawyer is their work ethic. If you hire Jay Englund, you will definitely get your money’s worth!

Excellent Service

Jay was professional and clear on his strategy and expected results with no promises. His understanding of the law and how it can work to your benefit was fantastic. He is very straightforward and honest about expectations for his client's participation and actions. Our result was better than I ex...pected. I am very satisfied with the whole process. Communication throughout was kay. He follows up and does not leave you wondering the status.

Great attorney!

Mr. Englund was an excellent attorney in Baraboo, WI. I was very pleased with his professionalism, level of knowledge of the legal system and his experience in dealing with cases such as mine. He went above and beyond what I hoped for in my case. He also spent time explaining everything to me in t...erms that I could understand. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney in the area. Thank you for your time and dedication to my case!

Great Lawyer

Jan. 28, 2017 I hired Jay Englund after reading his reviews. They could not be more true. With his knowledge and skills, he gets right down to business and covers all the bases. The information he asked me to get for him and the evidence he obtained were priceless for my case. You could not ask ...for a better attorney then Jay Englund to help with your problems. Jay Englund is top notch.

Honest, hardworking, knowledgeable and driven.

Jay Englund is everything an attorney should be: honest, hardworking, knowledgeable and driven. Attorney Englund represented us in a classic case that normally results in an open-and-shut conviction. Throughout the case, he was clear and concise. Timely and thoughtful. Progressive and proactive. ...He kept us apprised on a regular basis, provided answers before we asked the questions, and from our first meeting, was extremely honest about the lengthy process, the expenses involved in pursuing the case, and the likelihood that we would lose. Using his experience and knowledge of the law, Jay was able to secure a pre-trial settlement involving no conviction. When we initially needed representation, an attorney friend of ours said, “Call Jay Englund. He’s the best.” It was excellent advice. Jay Englund went above and beyond - we highly recommend him.
