Attorney Jeremiah Meyer-O’Day has dedicated his career to the service of others and the protection of the “little guy.” His legal career began at a non-profit law firm in Madison, Wisconsin, where he helped people in both criminal and civil proceedings, including evictions, collections, and family-law issues. Attorney Meyer-O’Day then joined the Office of the State Public Defender, working in the Lancaster, Wisconsin office. There, he defended people accused of crimes at all levels of severity. He has extensive trial experience, and a record of successfully litigating issues involving the violation of clients’ constitutional rights. He’s convinced judges to throw out evidence obtained by police illegally on numerous occasions, and convinced the court of appeals that a particular statute was unconstitutional. At Martinez & Ruby, LLP, Attorney Meyer-O’Day exclusively handles criminal and related matters, both at the trial and appellate levels.

We hired Jeremiah for a family member facing some serious charges. I would highly recommend Jeremiah as a criminal defense attorney. He is the best and does 100% fight for your rights to prove your Innocence and get faulty charges dropped. If you need a good attorney Jeremiah is the one.
