Attorney Jeff Oswald Client

I highly recommend Attorney Jeff Oswald. He represented my case in a very professional, respectful and effective manner. His negotiation skills delivered a positive outcome to a complicated case. Jeff communicates with the client efficiently throughout your case. I would definitely work with Jef...f again!

Successful resolution for a first offense DUI

Attorney Oswald was knowledgeable, calming, and very successful at navigating a DUI ticket our son received. He always responded quickly to all of our calls. He, along with his staff, helped us understand the process from the ticket, hearings, filings, DMV and auto insurance needs. We highly recomme...nd him.

Relief is possible

In the summer of 2020, I was on a road trip alone, coming from chicago, and passing through Wisconsin. I was on the highway shoulder crying about something personal and an officer came to check on me. I was arrested for driving while intoxicated and possession of marijuana. I contacted Jeff after... I mistakenly missed my first court appearance, as I had two separate charges. They made a process that I easily convoluted with anxieties, doubt, and confusion streamlined, and brought a sense of calm with very clear communication and honest answers. They can't wish your case away, however Jeff made an effort to make every step of the process better and easier including how I was to appear during a state of quarantine, answering questions via email and phone when I had my own doubts or fears(not a therapist lol, but very clear when they have a moment), and making sure I got the best outcome to their ability. Akin to playing his heart out. It felt like more than a win to have a misdemeanor excused. It felt like awe to have just fines after I faced jail time. Jeff is amazing, and the office is just as beautiful. The team made me feel human every time I called in. Extremely validating, and a lovely experience considering we all weren't going to a water park. Yes to the office of Hammett, Bellin, and Oswald. Glad ya'll exist. Thank you Jeff!

Successfully reduced serious charge to a petty traffic violation

I'll just start by saying if you're in a bind and actively researching Fox Valley-area attorneys- as I was- then you have finally found the right guy. Title kind of says it all. I was charged with something which left me personally devastated, and also had the very real potential to damage the ca...reer I have worked so hard to build. I am sure glad I did my research. Looked at everyone in the area, but no one had the same ratings as Jeff. No one had detailed reviews like Jeff either. So many success stories from happy clients. I spoke w/ Jeff on the phone for the first time and he gave me some background on the charge, what to expect, the process, and the timeline. At that time, from his frank & appreciated perspective, there wasn't much room to improve my situation. He did however agree to take a swing at it. That was my mission from the outset: not going to take this sitting down. I paid him a reasonable fee and off we went. My intake and subsequent pretrial conference dates were way, way out, so I had a lot of time to sit around and worry about all the bad things that could happen. Being such a legal novice (this is my first real go around as an adult), I called him a few different times to either get a status or ask him any of the crazy questions I'd conjured up over the past weeks. Each time, either he or Amy would get back to me asap and help clear things up. I sincerely appreciated it... that feeling of impending legal doom can be quite a weight on a set of inexperienced shoulders. I don't want to get into the details of the actual negotiation- all I will say is that Jeff did a tremendous job using the information provided to him to argue for a reduced charge. And the City Attorney clearly agreed. I went from something that would follow me around for 10 years, prevent me from renting cars, bar me entry to Canada, etc. to a reduced charge equivalent to a petty traffic violation. Night and day. This is the person that will maximize your outcome. Stop looking.
