Felony charges dismissed

Mr.Hayes was absolutely amazing! He was able to get my criminal charges dismissed within no time. I met with him one time and after that one time the charges were dropped. He was very helpful and understanding, he also stayed in contact with me from day one. I definitely recommend him!

Serious Felony Dismissed

Attorney Ray Hayes, is an exceptional attorney, who does exactly what he says, he will try to do. He returns phone calls, and he is a good Christian man that cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond the call of duty, charges a very reasonable fee, and does not nickel and dime you. I regret t...hat I could only put five stars for him because in reality I would give him 5,000 stars. I was charged with Assault With A Deadly Weapon With Intent To Kill. He got my case dismissed by the state two months before my court date proving I acted in self-defense. I am a former paralegal and have worked with several different attorneys and at the Forsyth county Courthouse . He is by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with, and I highly recommend him. He is someone you can truly trust in your time of need. I hope and pray I never need another defense attorney, but if I do, I will definitely go to him. He is the absolute best!
