Confident, competent, honest and aggressive representation

I spoke with a two other attorneys before I contacted Mr. Oswald about defending me in DUI and drug posession cases. His legal fees were far from being the least expensive but he is a great example of getting waht you pay for. There is lots to be said for hiring the best and it was clear from the out...set that he was the attorney I needed. The results of the case proved it. From the start, Jeff was understanding and not a bit judgemental. He gave me his honest assessment of our prospects without sugarcoating or unreasonable promises. He aggressively pursued the case immediately. We were dealing with a notoriously difficult county prosecutor (confirmed by other attorneys I know and consulted) but Jeff's perserverance amd insistent advocacy on my behalf cut through every obstacle. Jeff was able to get the DA to stipulate a lower blood alcohol content which allowed me to avoid being required to use an ignition interlock device. He got several of the charges I was facing to be dropped and negotiated what I consider to be fair sentences which allowed me to avoid jail time, keep my job and begin the process of putting a bad mistake behind me. In a time of intense stress, Jeff's professionalism, truthfulness, competency and admirable personality were comforting, to say the least. I was also very impressed with Jeff's assistant, Amy, who was always courteous, supremely competent and tirelessly patient with my questions throughout the process. I was facing what could have been a disastrous situation, both personally and professionally, but Jeff's legal representation turned that into an opportunity for me to address the issues I faced with confidence and with hope. I highly recommend Jeff Oswald.

To tend, unfailingly, unflinchingly, towards a goal, is the secret of success.

Jeffery Oswald defines this science of winning and success. I have worked with him several times. I recieved a hit and run ticket after I stopped and exchanged information with the car I hit but did not leave all the information legally required by the statue. Jeff made sure I was treated fairly wi...thin the system. Jeff is committed to reaching and surpassing his clients needs to be treated with equality and fairness within the judicial system. His work ethic and knowledge is unsurpassable in his field. When he takes you on as a client he will unfailingly and unflinchingly do what it takes to bring you success. I personally have known Jeff for almost 20 years, his character is built on the core values he lives his life by; in work and in his personal life. Those values are compassion, honesty,hard work, self-discipline, patience, and much gratitude. He is there to serve you and see that you are treated with fairness and dignity. I highly recommend Jeffery Oswald and believe he is the very BEST in his field.

"Behold a Lawyer, an Honest Man" ~ Benjamin Franklin

"The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Attorney Oswald is a man of integrity, strong ethical and moral valu...es, honesty, and character. I know he would not have taken my case had he not believed it to be a gross injustice and violation of my legal rights. This case was not only about proving my innocence against the charges, but to advocate for those who suffer from mental illness all over Wisconsin. I was facing a DUI conviction. But, the breathalyzer test resulted in HALF the legal limit. As well, I passed every field sobriety test. The ADA wanted to convict me because I was also taking my prescribed anxiety medication, which is NOT against the law. This was a prime example of targeting people with mental illness for “impairment” because they take their prescribed medications as directed. Attorney Oswald’s passion for helping those with mental illness retain their rights as “people” goes above and beyond his profession, well into his moral fiber. He was professional, forthright, and never gave me false hope. The outcome was grim and uncertain, but he never promised a miracle. After over 2 years of arguing my case, the red tape of the justice system, the burden and stress it placed on me and my family, Attorney Oswald won my case; it truly WAS a miracle. I was found not guilty of the charges, and only received a small fine. This was not only a great triumph for him, me, and my family, but for future cases of its kind. I am truly and forever grateful to Attorney Oswald and his staff for giving me my life back, as well as proving that we who suffer from mental illness deserve to be treated with respect and allowed to be productive members of society, without social stigma, nor condemnation by the law or anyone else.

outstanding professionalism

I recently retained Mr. Oswald for my OWI case and found his professionalism outstanding. It was very refreshing to find an attorney who was looking out for my best interest. If you are seeking representation in a criminal matter I would highly recommend Mr. Oswald and his team.

Hope/Respect/Dignity

Offering a personal evaluation/recommendation for a legal representative is something to not be taken lightly, for all do not offer one thing...HOPE! In the first nine months post my legal encounter, two other legal persons made me feel nothing but a criminal, guilty, prepped for jail and robbed of ...all my self-esteem and dignity. Belief in myself and and having a phenomenal support circle, seeking out Attorney Oswald was the light at the end of my tunnel. He listens, is empathetic and offers nothing but support. After nine long months I left my initial meeting feeling like myself again. Now, 17 months later, Attorney Oswald has given my my life back with no jail time required. Believe in Attorney Oswald and his amazing staff for they truly are angels. I will forever be grateful to them, there just really aren't enough words to express sincere gratitude.
