OWI 2nd. - Jury Trial Resulted In a Not Guilty Verdict

Mr. John Bayer, I have the utmost respect for you. You are a good listener, professional, thorough, caring, fair, and relentless. My family and I can’t thank you enough for your fight on my behalf that resulted in a not guilty jury verdict. Case (2- years Duration): Second offence OWI (.127 blood)... – Contested refusal charges - Jury trial – Verdict not guilty on OWI and PAC. Mr. Bayer relentlessly attacked officer for miss-characterization of statement I made/did not made and the credibility of blood sample and sampling/handling process conducted by the MKE officer. Once again, I would like to thank you for believing in my innocence and fighting for me and my family.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend John as a lawyer. Anytime I had any questions he was there to answer them and discuss on a timely manner. He always offered suggestions to what I should and shouldn't do with my case and was always honest and upfront.

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
