After repeated efforts to get the prosecutor to realize that the case against me had serious evidentiary flaws, Attorney Hayes convinced the prosecutor to dismiss all charges in January 2018. His confidence, professionalism and communication were all outstanding, Highly recommended.

We almost threw in the towel when our son blew .09 after being pulled over and arrested. Our real estate attorney said he could help us but said Michael M. Hayes was the best attorney in the area at handling DUI and underage drinking charges. The DUI charges were dropped after Mr. Hayes connected the implied consent law with what happened that night. We’re so glad our son got a second chance and we found THE attorney who knows these laws, penalties, and local municipalities inside out.

After a dismissal of my OWI charges in Waukesha County, I told Attorney Hayes that I knew when he walked into court that he commanded respect. He skillfully peeled away the officer’s supposed justifications for the investigation and arrest at a motion hearing. The judge granted our motion to suppress all evidence, leading to the complete dismissal of all charges. If you want a lawyer that commands the respect of courts and gets great results, this is the guy.

The guy is good. My family has used him for years. When I was wrongfully cited for providing alcohol to an underage person, I was told I could possibly lose my government job. Mr. Hayes knew what buttons to push. Case dismissed! Never had to appear in court. Not only did I keep my job but I got a promotion.{para} {para} .......... A Happy Guy

I was arrested for operating under the influence after going the police station to pick up a friend who had been arrested for operating under the influence and was being released. Mr. Hayes said it would take a number of motions and quite a fight but that this was a case that was worth the effort. He was right. Over 15 months after my arrest the case was concluded with an amendment to reckless driving which will be removed from my driving record after 5 years. An operating under the influence conviction stays on a record for 55 years. Mr. Hayes did exactly what he said he was going to do. He did a great job!

Attorney Michael Hayes is an outstanding attorney. He handled my case and was able to do what other attorneys said could not be done at half the cost of other attorneys. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Hayes for owi/revocation/traffic tickets. He is honest and hard working for his clients. This is the first time I have ever recommended someone on the internet. I am recommending Attorney Michael Hayes because I know he will also work very hard for you too!

M. Hayes has helped my family, friends and co-workers in a wide range of legal matters. He is thoughtful, compassionate, immensely reassuring, thoroughly professional, efficient and highly effective. He gives memorable "get you on the right path" advice to adolescents--a particular gift of his. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Mike Hayes did a great job for me at trial on the issue of whether my BAC was .15 at the time of my offense. There were many evidence issues that Mike was able to spring at trial. We were well prepared for all the scenarios that could occur in court and we prevailed. The judge granted our motion for a directed verdict at the close of the prosecutor’s case despite the prosecutor having a state expert at the trial. Mike was able to save the expense of having our own expert testify at trial.

Mr. Hayes has been very instrumental in the success of my family due to his outstanding achievements on our behalf. He has reduced tickets to a zero point offense for my husband who has a CDL. My son had a speeding ticket for 37 over and Mr. Hayes was able to amend it to "no license on person" a zero point offense! Mr. Hayes' efforts saved my son's job. Mr. Hayes negotiated a great settlement for our daughter when she was bit by a dog. Mr. Hayes is a man of integrity, honesty and reliability
