Super Attorney. Got my OWI/DUI dismissed.

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.

Great job on a complex case

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.

Attorney Englund Rocks!

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.

The Goat

Jay Englund is by far the go to choice for legal advice/consultation. He helped me out tremendously and ended up getting my owi 2nd dismissed. Him and his assistant put in so much effort and time to make it all possible. He is very good at explaining all the legalities so you can easily understand wh...at is going on.

Great Attorney

Jay represented me in an OWI case. He was very professional and kept me informed during the process. Jay prepared my case so well prior to my pretrial that the prosecutor had no choice but to dismiss my case. I would recommend Jay to anyone in need of a good defense attorney.
