There is a never ending list of good things to say about Atty. John T. Bayer. A family member of mine needed representation and after a thorough search of many lawyers we retained him based on his fair fee, honest and kind demeanor, and prompt attention to our initial contact. He was able to take the worst time of our life and helped to see light while guiding us through a complicated legal process. John far exceeded our expectations of an OWI defense attorney. He responded to our initial inquiry within minutes of us leaving a voicemail. He was honest with what his expectations were with this case and patiently walked us through every step of the process. We were scared and my family member was faced with the loss of a CDL license needed for work to support the family. This isolated mistake had the potential of devastating, life-altering consequences. He treated us without judgement yet with complete honesty throughout. He was always quick with responses to any questions and he made us feel as if we were his only clients. He was compassionate while working with us but tough in the court room – exactly what we wanted in a lawyer. We couldn’t have asked for a more driven, knowledgeable, caring attorney. There is no doubt that your case will be handled with absolute expertise and care from start to finish. In the end, there was NO LOSS OF THE CDL LICENSE and the first offense OWI charged was reduced to a Reckless Driving ticket. We cannot thank him enough for everything! Do not hesitate to call and speak with him about your case. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!

My name is Nick. I hired John as my attorney for a OWI case that carried two serious felony charges. My case stemmed from a divorce and developed into an OWI case that as far as I could see, was going to end my career and send me to prison. I made every bad decision a person could, making any attorney's job a very difficult one. John walked me through every step I needed to take to give myself a fighting chance. His organization and attention to detail is unparalleled. John and even his brother Mike did everything they could to help keep my attitude positive during what I feel was one of the darkest times in my life. My case started in in 2019 and has gone on for almost 3 years. Not once did he bury me in unnecessary fees. John was able to get a not guilty verdict on both of these felony charges while maintaining his integrity. He maintained that honesty was going to be my best defense and it worked. My case was won because John put everything he had into my case. He doesn't miss a detail. Winning this case saved my career and saved my son from having to watch his father go to prison. John makes you feel like you have a friend in that court room when it seems like the world is against you. God forbid you find yourself in this type of situation But if you do, don't gamble with your freedom. John gave me a second chance at life and I honestly feel like I owe him everything. This review is the least I could do for him. Call him. You will not be disappointed with his services.

I'm a truck driver with a 15 year clean driving record who was written a career altering citation for a minor accident. Bayer got it reduced to the equivalent of a hefty parking ticket. Exceeded expectations, and excellent communication. Definitely worth the investment.

Needed help navigating a WI speeding ticket for a IL driver. They were very helpful with questions and procedures. I have never had the need before and worried how it would all come together, but everything went as predicted. Always responded to questions and very much appreciated their services

I was charged with a first time OWI. Since I drive for a living I needed the best result possible for my case. After speaking with John he explained my options. When I told him about the incident he believed we had a good chance at fighting the charge. It took a while to resolve but John represented me well. He got the OWI charge reduced to a wreckless driving ticket. I couldn't be any happier with the way John handled my case. John and Mike were professional throughout the process. I received updates with every new development and was also given great advice on how to navigate the entire situation I would definitely recommend Johns services.

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 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.

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!

My teenage son received two speeding tickets a few months apart. John represented him and was able to get the fine and points reduced for the first ticket and the second reduced to a non moving violation. John did a great job keeping us informed throughout the process and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

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.
