“For a person to be among the very best at what they do, they must choose to be exactly that - the very best. Justin Padway represented me in a case that put my entire future on the line. And, from the first moment I met Justin, until the last court appearance was over, there was never a moment that I felt I didn't have exactly that - the very best.”

"Justin Padway is an absolutely incredible lawyer. I am a teacher, and one of my former students needed help, so I called upon Justin. My student was being accused of felony charges that he didn’t rightfully deserve. He was facing a possible multi-year sentence, and Justin got those felony charges completely dismissed. My former student is now back home with his family, right where he should be. I can’t express how grateful I am for Justin. He’s a strong lawyer because he truly cares for his clients. His compassion and knowledge are the perfect combination. I HIGHLY recommend him!"

“Attorney Padway went well beyond the average representation. His exhaustive research of options and probable outcomes was unsurpassed. His positive and forthright and goal orientated progress with my case shows a determination and aptitude for what is right and proper by winning 2 cases for me and saving my life and my career. Attorney Padway is outstanding in his perseverance and dedication even when at certain points it seems the odds are against us.

His comprehension of the court system, the case at hand and the clients better welfare is excellent.

“I was charged without a full confession and also sent to jail without any bail posted for a 1st degree Felony case facing up to 12 years in prison. During my incarceration. My wife heard a story of a lawyer who proves innocence, and actually gets the results you need and it's affordabe. Immediately I received a call on my 3rd day in jail from Mr Padway. Everything he told me that was going to happen, happened. No gimmicks no fast talk. I was scared by my 5th day. I received another call and I was released had bail. The fight wasn't over he said meeting Mr payday for the first time I felt like I was living a dream because I was free, he intercepted and gave me a chance to prove my innocence and build a case. Not only did I get the results I was looking for he got me in position where it will be expunged off my record officially. Very minimum probation. And most importantly the truth and the reuniting with my family. Very very pleased and grateful for my second chance. He worked very hard and made my life his life.”

He is honest, punctual, cost efficient, highly educated, intelligent and well versed in the law. He truly fights for his client and truly cares. Justin is also highly respected by his peers and familiar with the southeastern Wisconsin court and judicial branches. Justin is honest and explains everything to you clearly and every time I walked into the courtroom with him, I felt confident and fully understood what was going to happen and what to expect, there were never any surprises. He was always readily available to help me if I had questions and eased my worries. He returns calls and emails the same day and truly cares about his clients. All I can say is that Justin saved my life. I owe you my life Justin, I truly cannot thank you enough.”

“I cannot rave enough about the commitment, thoroughness, follow-through, and professionalism that Attorney Justin Padway displayed. The case presented was serious in nature however, it was purely an accident caused by a young man determined to lead a successful, productive, and exemplary life. We interviewed several attorneys before making the decision to hire Attorney Padway. Upon our first meeting the passion for justice, fairness, and truth was evident. Not only was he determined to reach a decision that would teach a lesson but, also not ruin a life; he was responsive. That alone says a lot about someone who has such a full schedule. After all of the injustices against young minorities, the miscarriages of justice, and the lack of positive communications between law officers and community members; our faith in the justice system has been restored. Our deepest appreciation goes to Attorney Justin Padway.”

"Mr. Padway, Justin, was concerned with who I am and what the facts were in my case. I believe that Justin Padway has the ability, the sources, the ambition to be excellent at his craft. I was in a situation that seemed to be very bias to myself and he recognized the truth and found the way that that truth could be distributed and recognized beyond a shadow of a doubt. So to Padway and Padway lawfirm and legacy... I say, thank you. Thank you for seeing through me and through everything else. Thank You."

"Unfortunately I got myself into some legal trouble, OWI. The upside to having this going on in my life was the fact that I had Justin Padway to represent me. He was able to ALWAYS completely put my mind at ease. He handled the entire case with very little needed from me outside of my honesty. In the end, the outcome of my case was above anything I thought any legal counsel would be able to do but Justin exceeded my expectations. I would recommend speaking with him before anyone else!"

"I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Justin Padway and it was an excellent experience. Mr.Padway is very fair when he has to represent his clients. He has fought for my son since day 1 by checking up on him and also checking up and staying engaged with me. Though he can only share so much information with me because my son is an adult, he still kept me updated with possible leads for employment, counseling services and education services that was available for my son to utilize. When I would call, he would pick up right away and if he wasn’t available at that specific time he would always send a message to let me know that he would get back to me as soon as he was able to do so. The communication between Mr. Padway and I was phenomenal, he made me feel like I was family instead of a number client. I recommend Mr. Padway for anyone’s legal needs, advice and expertise. I would definitely hire him again if I need to. Thank you Mr. Padway for your services and all that you do."

I met Attorney Justin Padway at my initial court appearance, my boyfriend saw him outside and asked him a question and he stopped and took the time to talk to him about my case while he was on the way to someone else's court appearance. Then, I watched him get that person's case dismissed as I waited for my turn! Right from the start he was confident he could get my charge dismissed, and he did! He went above and beyond for me, even checking up on a family members legal trouble. Justin communicated everything to me so it was easy for me to understand and he genuinely cares about you and your case. Definitely the best money I've ever spent!

Attorney Justin Padway at Padway & Padway LTD, was referred to me by my business liability insurance legal team. Communication between them was impressive. Justin was very thorough with the situation of the case and honest about my chances in resolving the case. Justin was upfront and updated me regularly. He has many resources to help with evidence. I was very happy with the resolution of my case. Sincerely thanks for your hard work. Justin made me feel he believed in my innocence. I highly recommend Justin Padway.

“First of I need to say that the words have not been created yet that could express my gratitude and appreciation of Justin Padway. This man was BEYOND remarkable! I have heard people use the phrase "above and beyond", but hadn't witnessed it for myself until Justin. He took my son's case and connected with him as a person, and with us as a family and he saw more than just another case. He took the time to look at everything from all angles and used every resource available, and some that I didn't even know existed. Justin Padway is a man of integrity, honor, understanding, professionalism and any superlative you could imagine. Justin saved my family from being counted out as another statistic, he saw through the smoke and mirrors that our previous attorney deceived us with, and he dissipated the clouds of regret and impulse. Regardless of the circumstances of my son's case, he made sure that my son was treated with fairness and dignity and he refused to let him be counted out or dismissed as just another "bad kid" in the system, Justin saw him for who he truly is and the circumstances that surrounded my son. He took the reigns and led us to what could only be described as a miracle. My family and I thank God for Justin Padway, he literally saved my family's future. Thank you Justin, I don't think I could thank you enough, but until the day I am no longer physically able, I will never stop trying, thank you, thank you, thank you!” - Patrick
