Dedicated Lawyer

I hired John Bayer to help out with an unlawful traffic stop and unsubstantiated OWI charge. John went above and beyond to defend me against an unjust accusation. Throughout the entire ordeal, John was caring and compassionate, but also determined and persistent in seeing my case through to the end. ...I highly recommend John Bayer to anyone and I would certainly use him again.

Great Attorney - Hire Him

I am an Illinois driver that was arrested for OWI, Operating w/PAC, and Deviation from Designated Lane. Trying to find an attorney while out of state and trying to figure out the difference/consequences that will result from Illinois with Wisconsin charges was very scary. I am also a Type 1 diabeti...c that was having trouble with a new insulin pump that I felt that could have played a factor in my situation as I did not have that many drinks, I called several attorneys that did not think I had a case or I did not feel that they would represent me the way I felt I needed. Thankfully one of them suggested I contact John Bayer. I called John and right from the start I felt confident in the way he was talking about my case and the way he was communicating with me. I hired him. It took nine months for my case to get a trial date. John represented me in all the pretrial motions and did not require me to travel back to Wisconsin. He kept in contact with me via phone and email and I felt up to date on everything that was going on. John was meticulous in the way he reviewed the video footage and documents in order to best represent me. The trial finally arrived and it took 3 days. But everyday when I left the courthouse I felt confident in the way John was representing me. John is easy to talk to, listens well, communicates well, and does everything he can to represent you to the best of his ability. He even found an expert witness for my case. When the jury went to deliberate I felt that whatever they decided I was confident in my decision to hire John Bayer and knew he did everything he could to represent me. I was found not guilty on OWI and Operating w/PAC. The jury did find me guilty of Deviation from Designated Lane (there was a video of this), This was the best outcome I could have wished for. If you have the need to hire an attorney for an OWI or similar charges I would recommend you hire John Bayer. He is a great attorney.

Best Lawyer you can find, one that actually cares!!!

I was wrongfully accused of an OWI while also on medication. I don't have much money, everything goes to my family for survival. So how could I afford an attorney to prove my innocence? John! He came highly recommend from other big expensive law firms when I called and he worked with me on every paym...ent and every detail. HE CARED!! Being found guilty would have left my family on the street and our lives ruined. Thankfully that didn't happen. With Johns hard work and commitment, I am happy to say that my time in court was heard and I was found not guilty. I owe John so much more than he could ever know. I know he was just doing his job, but honestly nowadays its hard to find people to even do that. If you want a lawyer who cares about you and your case! If you want a lawyer to actually pick up his phone when you call! If you want a lawyer that wants to win! CALL John T Bayer

1st Offense OWI reduction

Mr. Bayer was an absolute professional! I felt as if he went out of his way to represent my case to the upmost of his ability and he made me feel confident that I was in good hands at all times. I was looking at having to have an interlock device placed on my vehicle because of a .248 BAC. Most law...yers would not have even taken my case and would have given up before giving it a fighting chance. Before having to go to a jury trial, John got the charges dropped down to a reckless driving charge and a forfeiture of the $911 bond that I had to pay. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Bayer in any DUI or DWI allegation!

OWI 3rd HIGHLEY RECOMEND

I hired John to help me deal with an OWI charge. When I first met with him I instantly felt comfterable and confident he was going to do everything he could to help me. He immediately went to work for me keeping me updated throughout the entire process and was extreamly thourough. The end result was ...being found not guilty at a jury trial of operating under the influence. John truely cared about my best interests and did an outstanding job. I would not hesitate or even think twice about hiring him again if ever needed.
