"The best two words I could hear were being told "Not Guilty" on both counts. John was always professional inside and outside the courthouse..."

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!

"I am beyond thankful for the very very positive outcome in my case (which lasted 2 years) and it is all thanks to John. This is a man that will fight for you through the entire process."

I will preface by stating I NEVER write reviews, even if there's compensation for doing so. John is the best - very communicative, very understanding, and will explain everything very clearly so your understanding is where it needs to be. I feel as if my first experience with law enforcement made me feel like a terrible, guilty person (all over a victimless crime); and I didn't know much at all. Yet when I met John upon a referral I immediately knew and felt that this was the guy I did not deserve. I am beyond thankful for the very very positive outcome in my case (which lasted 2 years) and it is all thanks to John. This is a man that will fight for you through the entire process. Thank you John.

"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."

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 John 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!

"Having John as my attorney is one of the best decisions I've ever made and I highly recommend him to any person seeking a solid defense."

John Bayer is solid, dependable, honest and extremely fair. From the very first meeting I had with him up to and including the conclusion of my case, he worked tirelessly on my behalf. He was available whenever I had questions and reassured me when got nervous. His knowledge and experience ultimately WON my case. Having John as my attorney is one of the best decisions I've ever made and I highly recommend him to any person seeking a solid defense.

"I'm very impressed and grateful to Mr. Bayer and will absolutely recommend him to any of my friends and family"

I was expecting to have to go to jail for this. Huber, ankle 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 appearance but the judge would not accept Mr. Bayer's dismissal motion. Then covid hit so we had a few reschedulings. 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 grateful 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.

"I could not have asked for a better attorney for me. He always treated me like a real person, and he is very down to earth. Definitely would recommend John Bayer to anyone. And will be my first call if I ever need his help again."

I found John using a simple Google search, " best OWI lawyer in southern Wisconsin". John was one of 5 attorneys I called. He was the only one that was actually willing to talk to me personally and right away I could tell he actually cared about getting me justice. It was a difficult battle at the municipal level and it didn't go anywhere due to a biased judge that didn't care to actually look at the evidence, so we took it to the county level in a jury court. It was an almost 3 year process for me particularly due to covid but thru the duration of that time John never stopped working hard on my case. When the day finally came for my chance in court, John was prepared and made all the right decisions that he figured would be our best chance at winning. He worked on his toes and caught every little mistake in the officers story. He presented all these points to the jury and luckily they saw our point of view. I could not have asked for a better attorney for me. He always treated me like a real person, and he is very down to earth. Definitely would recommend John Bayer to anyone. And will be my first call if I ever need his help again.
