James Kevin Hayslett

We hired Kevin w/in a day of our "incident" and he immediately assured and comforted us that the process will be handled w/the utmost privacy and in a timely manner. We come from(2nd) generation of law enforcement and we did not even think twice about hiring Kevin because of his many years of knowle...dge,experience&professional relationships w/in the Tampa Bay area. Not only did he meet our expectations, he exceeded them too! We can not thank him and his expert team at his law firm for all their help and "shielding" us from this humiliating&humbling process...he was very thorough and communicated w/us throughout the entire process. He is the best and we consider him our friend for life! Thank you Kevin Hayslett and the Hayslett Team!!

Unfortunately , I had to utilize Kevin's brilliant services not once, but TWICE! I know, I know I am now a statistic in the lovely state of Florida. My first DUI was Jan 2014, I did everything that they asked me to do, I did all of the sobriety tests and I blew a .234 (yikes) . The second that I was... released I called Kevin. There were no doubts that I needed his services since his name is so circulated about being "the best". Boy, did I ever put him to work. He won my DMV hearing so I NEVER lost my license, we won my motion to suppress the blow...thats right...my .234 blow ..POOF gone. After everything that we had accomplished it came down to the very last minute, no joke....the night before we went to trial. He called and said that the DA reduced to a reckless driving withholding adjudication. This case took 2 years from start to finish and he communicated with me every step of the way. I never doubted him as my attorney. In January 2016 I was pulled over for speeding and I completed panicked and pretty much refused everything, even wanting to get out of the car. I was so scorned from the first case that every horror story of people getting 2 DUI's made me seize up and just not want to exist . Yet again, Kevin was by my side and 9 months later the case was reduced to reckless driving. I never received an interlock in my car or an ankle monitor and even my court fees were lower than I expected, however; part of the deal was jail time. I volunteered, yes I said volunteered to go to jail for the reduction. The deal was 5 days, I turned myself in and was there for a little over 24 hours. I was willing to do anything that I needed to avoid a DUI conviction. I know some of you may be thinking "Wow, this girl got lucky" . I don't believe in luck, I believe in Kevin and in his knowledge of the system. I also believe in his commitment that he truly wants the best outcome for you. His assistant, Laureen, always rapid-fire replied to all of my emails and questions. Not once did I ever feel that my case wasn't important to him. After a total of 3 years and several pennies later, I would not change a thing. Kevin is hands down the best DUI defense attorney around....PERIOD

Kevin took my case in May of 2014 regarding a DUI charge which occurred due to me being pulled over on a bogus aggravated assault charge which was later found to be false. Kevin and his office instructed me what steps to take to prepare for a variety of possible outcomes. My father who is retired m...ade it to some of the court appearances where my presence wasn't required and he was impressed with Kevin's accumen and general overall command in the court room. After postponements by both the Pinellas court system as well as from the Pinellas County Sheriff's office, Kevin was able to have my case ultimately dismissed in December of 2015. Despite the lengthy court process which Kevin even admitted was considerably longer than normal, he stayed committed to my cause even though it took more time out of his schedule. Kevin's value as a lawyer is second-to-none. He also genuinely cares about taking care of you and helping you through the process in order to achieve the best possible results. While his services do cost maybe more than some other lawyers, I go by what my mother said and that is when it comes to doctors (health) and lawyers (your freedom/rights), you need to have the best which is what Kevin is and I can't thank him enough!

I know Kevin Hayslett through his association with the BRN. For years I listened to his advise and direction to many callers. in 2012 I needed advise due to my sons passing. I made contact with Kevin, he took my call, listened and asked specific questions. He then consulted with another lawyer to p...rovide me important knowledge. Thats a true professional and one who cares. He simply did it help.

An extremely knowledgeable attorney who simultaneously managed charges in three separate counties for me, where the results in one court had merit on proceedings in the next. Mr. Hayslett skillfully managed proceedings in all three courts, arguing for, and receiving extensions so the timing would be... most favorable for me. While working in all three courts he provided me direction on how to mitigate my interrelated issues. He is a hands on attorney who takes the time to personally deal with and understand his client’s needs and I recommend Mr. Hayslett’ service without reservation.
