Traffic Ticket

I can't thank attorney John T. Bayer enough for working on my case. He didn't give up even though the court was pushing hard against it. Him and his assistant Katrina was always available for communication and explaining the situation. A conviction would effect my work and my life and after a hard ...battle he was able to convince the court of the severity of my case and was able to work with me. Thank you again for your time! I totally recommend attorney John T. Bayer and his team for working on your case.

OWI 2nd Offense/Amazing Outcome

My case started in the spring of 2021 and I have to admit there were plenty of times that I just wanted to throw the towel in and admit guilt although everything was done incorrectly. John never allowed me to give up hope, with his expertise and years of dealing with cases he told me his honest opin...ion about the situation. He was able to find various issues with the way procedures were conducted. My case started with the cops trying to pull me over in an area that didn't have a shoulder or emergency lane, I put my hazard lights meanwhile I found a safe area to pull over. Once I pulled over I stayed in my car trying to find my registration and pulling up my insurance card and I was yelled to get out of my vehicle. I came out with my arms raised and almost immediately the police officers wouldn't let me explain why I didn't pull over. I explained I had didn't feel safe, that I didn't speed, that I put my hazards and when I pulled into the business I put took them off and put my right directional light on to inform them every step what I was doing. No explanation was enough and after passing 2 of the field sobriety test and missing 2 clues on the 3rd I was arrested. My whole life and career was on the line and after researching lawyers and talking to a couple none of them came close to giving me time to explain my situation without wanting money right away. John understood my circumstance and was patient with me, he's not just a lawyer wanting another case to gain experience or personal benefit. He is a man that cares about his clients and will always be honest, even if the truth is not what you want to hear. Meanwhile my case went to court John advised me of various actions to ensure the case wouldn't continue to be pushed to the right as well as motions that helped build my defense. The day came to start the trial and I was blow away by the attention to detail John demonstrated. During the trial John showed he knew the footage and procedures better than the officers questioned as well as the prosecution. The outcome was Not Guilty on ALL counts!!! I was so shocked that I leaned over and asked him if I really heard Not Guilty and he smiled and said YES!!! Listen I have never written a review in my life, not even about amazing restaurants but it was his previous reviews and his personality that lead me to chose him. Your BEST CHOICE is to chose John, someone that wont just see you as a $$$ but as a person that needs proper expert representation. Thank you so much John!

Atty John Bayer- Best 1st Offense OWI Counsel Choice We Could Have Made!

There is a never ending list of good things to say about Atty. John T. Bayer. A family member of mine needed representation and after a thorough search of many lawyers we retained him based on his fair fee, honest and kind demeanor, and prompt attention to our initial contact. He was able to take th...e worst time of our life and helped to see light while guiding us through a complicated legal process. John far exceeded our expectations of an OWI defense attorney. He responded to our initial inquiry within minutes of us leaving a voicemail. He was honest with what his expectations were with this case and patiently walked us through every step of the process. We were scared and my family member was faced with the loss of a CDL license needed for work to support the family. This isolated mistake had the potential of devastating, life-altering consequences. He treated us without judgement yet with complete honesty throughout. He was always quick with responses to any questions and he made us feel as if we were his only clients. He was compassionate while working with us but tough in the court room – exactly what we wanted in a lawyer. We couldn’t have asked for a more driven, knowledgeable, caring attorney. There is no doubt that your case will be handled with absolute expertise and care from start to finish. In the end, there was NO LOSS OF THE CDL LICENSE and the first offense OWI charged was reduced to a Reckless Driving ticket. We cannot thank him enough for everything! Do not hesitate to call and speak with him about your case. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!

An impossible victory.

My name is Nick. I hired John as my attorney for a OWI case that carried two serious felony charges. My case stemmed from a divorce and developed into an OWI case that as far as I could see, was going to end my career and send me to prison. I made every bad decision a person could, making any attorne...y's job a very difficult one. John walked me through every step I needed to take to give myself a fighting chance. His organization and attention to detail is unparalleled. John and even his brother Mike did everything they could to help keep my attitude positive during what I feel was one of the darkest times in my life. My case started in in 2019 and has gone on for almost 3 years. Not once did he bury me in unnecessary fees. John was able to get a not guilty verdict on both of these felony charges while maintaining his integrity. He maintained that honesty was going to be my best defense and it worked. My case was won because John put everything he had into my case. He doesn't miss a detail. Winning this case saved my career and saved my son from having to watch his father go to prison. John makes you feel like you have a friend in that court room when it seems like the world is against you. God forbid you find yourself in this type of situation But if you do, don't gamble with your freedom. John gave me a second chance at life and I honestly feel like I owe him everything. This review is the least I could do for him. Call him. You will not be disappointed with his services.
