Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney!!!!

I’ll be forever grateful for the magnificent representation by Attorney Michael Hayes when my adult daughter, claiming repressed memory, falsely accused me of sexually assaulting her when she was younger. Mr. Hayes orchestrated an incredible investigation that proved she was lying in an effort to ex...tort money from me. Mr. Hayes completely discredited the allegations. I had spoken to three lawyers prior to hiring Mr. Hayes but I wasn’t getting the right vibes from the other lawyers. Then I spent an entire Saturday morning with Mr. Hayes and saw he would do whatever it would take to bring the case to a correct conclusion - and he did. Still innocent. A lifetime of gratitude is due. Thank you Attorney Hayes. Philip, from Illinois

Michael M. Hayes

I was arrested for operating under the influence after going the police station to pick up a friend who had been arrested for operating under the influence and was being released. Mr. Hayes said it would take a number of motions and quite a fight but that this was a case that was worth the effort. ... He was right. Over 15 months after my arrest the case was concluded with an amendment to reckless driving which will be removed from my driving record after 5 years. An operating under the influence conviction stays on a record for 55 years. Mr. Hayes did exactly what he said he was going to do. He did a great job! —New Berlin resident

OWI 4th OFFENSE

When my husband was arrested for OWI 4th offense, I thought the world would end for our family but there are blessings in the storms of life & God clearly put Michael Hayes in our path. His brilliant expertise, his down to earth approach, and his absolute professionalism resulted in my husband only ...ordered to serve a minimum 45 day jail sentence. Within a week he was home on electronic monitoring. The world is a far better place because Hayes is in it. With Sincere, Deep , Eternal Gratitude . Sharon

Driving after Revocation

Michael Hayes is a wonderful attorney. He tells it like he sees it and at a fair cost. Thank you very much for handling my case. I am so thankful for the result you achieved when other attorneys said it could not be done - and theu were twice as expensive! If you want an outstanding attorney, hir...e Michael Bolton Hayes!

Can't go wrong!

I had a rather unfortunate speeding ticket which was well above normal limits .... Mr Hayes was extremely straight forward which is confidence inspiring as it paints you a realistic picture of your scenario, where you stand and what you can expect . Told me upfront the implication and what was possib...le and the best possible scenario. He went ahead and got the best possible scenario. I strongly recommend Mr Hayes for any traffic related violations.
