It Pays to Hire Hayes
I was recently cited for a moving traffic violation. Due to previous violations (DWI and speeding tickets) I was extremely worried and concerned that I would lose the balance of my points. I contacted Attorney Hayes and explained my situation. Contacting Atty. Hayes was the best move I made all day.....
"I endorse this lawyer. I had a client from WI. Mr. Hayes was extremely helpful in regards to how my client’s Indiana DUI conviction would affect his WI license status. I strongly endorse Michael Hayes as someone I would want representing me for any DUI/OWI charge."
"As a fellow attorney with 30 years of practice I have met few lawyers rising to the quality of Michael Hayes. He is always well prepared, upfront and honest. I have referred several cases to Michael and he always achieves exceptional results for his clients. I highly recommend and fully endorse Michael as he is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community by Judges, adversary’s and fellow lawyers."
"A legal education at Marquette coupled with 34 years of practicing criminal law is what we refer to as experienced. Michael's knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro Bono contributions here. Clients are the best judge of an attorneys worth and their reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Endorsements from peer attorneys are also outstanding. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him ASAP if you or a loved one has been charged with a crime. If you are lucky he might just agree to represent you."
