OWI Charge

I was charged with a first time OWI. Since I drive for a living I needed the best result possible for my case. After speaking with John he explained my options. When I told him about the incident he believed we had a good chance at fighting the charge. It took a while to resolve but John repres...ented me well. He got the OWI charge reduced to a wreckless driving ticket. I couldn't be any happier with the way John handled my case. John and Mike were professional throughout the process. I received updates with every new development and was also given great advice on how to navigate the entire situation I would definitely recommend Johns services.

OWI 4th

Two years ago late February, I decided to go out to a local bar for some drinks and pizza. With it being Wisconsin and end of February we had plenty of snow on the ground. Upon my arrival at the bar I parked my vehicle not realizing that I parked up onto the snow covered sidewalk. Cops were called by... the owner of the building as I was drinking in the bar for about 40 minutes. The officer decided to take me out from the bar and instead of giving me a ticket for parking on the sidewalk, decided to charge me with a felony fourth OWI. I could not believe what was happening! After posting bail I was on a search for a great attorney to fight for me. I found that attorney here at Bayer Law. John had me in the office later that day for a consultation. When my fiance and I entered we knew we were in good hands and he was going to fight for a non guilty verdict. He immediately started working on my case as he knew I had so much to lose if convicted. Mike and John worked hard to go through the body cam footage to come up with our best defense. The first time I saw John in action during my preliminary hearing I knew I had the best lawyer in my corner. He legally attacked the officer on every angle. He even got the officer to admit under oath certain statements which then proved in the police report found being untrue. After over two years of fighting my case we finally had our day in court. Through all this time John and Mike remained in touch with me. John would take the time explain everything to me so I understood what was going on and what will happen. Their law office even had their assistant, Kristina, call me to make sure I was prepared if I was found guilty and any resources I might need. Our day in court finally happened. The proceedings were nerve racking to say the least, but I had complete faith in my attorney. At first I was not going to testify as I knew they would bring up how many convicted crimes I had, but I knew as did my attorney, that I had to tell my story. John Bayer advised me the day of, as he did multiple times before, that testifying is completely my choice. He gave me advice before testifying and told me I would do good, just tell the truth. At closing arguments, John had my back letting the jury know that a simple traffic ticket should not have turned into an OWI charge, it is unjust. The best two words I could hear were being told "Not Guilty" on both counts. John was always professional inside and outside the courthouse, listened to my concerns and questions, and most of all showed me compassion and support through the whole process. Although this situation is not ideal, I would still have chosen John and the team at Bayer Law Offices to represent me. John is an amazing attorney and person. If you find yourself in a situation like this hire John. He will be there every step of the way and fight to the end for the best outcome for your case! Thank you John and Mike!

OWI Second/Refusal

I cannot say enough good things about attorney Bayer. I was charged with a second OWI and refusal and since this is a criminal charge, felt I needed to hire representation. I interviewed 5 attorneys before deciding on John Bayer, and it was an easy decision. From our first conversation I could tell J...ohn was very knowledgeable and an expert in his field. Yet at the same time he talks to you like a person and friend, not just another client. He spoke on my level and put everything in layman's terms. From there he took care of everything, and kept me informed on what was happening. He understood how important this was to me, and how it could effect me professionally and fought hard for me. He filed a motion to dismiss evidence based on the video we had. The court agreed with everything John argued, and we won the motion. After this he motioned to have the charges dismissed and the court granted dismissal. John was able to get the OWI Second and the Refusal charges dismissed. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had attorney Bayer represent me. He is a true professional in every sense and I would recommend him to anyone that needs his services. Thank you John!

My OWI [2nd] experience

I was expecting to have to go to jail for this. Huber, ancle braclets, ignition lock but Mr.Bayer looked at the case and said I had a shot at beating it because of the dash cam video in the sheriff's car. I was still not to optimistic but it was worth a shot. The court made a mistake on my first appe...arance but the judge would not accept Mr. Bayer's dismissal motion. Then covid hit so we had a few rechedualings. Dec.9 was the next in person hearing and the court made another mistake and Mr. Bayer ,again, went for a dismissal but explained to me that ,if accepted the DA could just recharge me. I was not to optimistic again but the judge went for it! He took a 10 min. break and the DA and Mr. Bayer had a conversation that I couldn't here. I was floored when he came back and said the state will drop ALL OWI charges if I accept a reckless driving ticket, which I did [of course!] I could not be happier! I really did not think this could happen. I'm very impressed and greatfull to Mr. Bayer and will absolutely recommend him to any of my friends and family. Or anyone else who needs a lawyer. Thank you so much, John. Sincerely, Dave Q.
