I used Michael for my 2nd and 3rd owi. I had great outcomes. 8 days incarcerated for the 3rd and the rest on electronic monitoring. This happened so quickly because his paperwork is air tight and he makes sure the right people have it. If you need an attorney for owi I would definitely go with Michael Hayes.

I hired Attorney Michael Hayes to clean up a misunderstanding regarding my traffic record. He fixed everything within 2 weeks. The communication and attention to detail was outstanding. Highly recommended!!

Michael Hayes did amazing! Had an OWI charge against me. My case was dismissed due the judge seeing that the MCSO had no articulable belief that I had any signs of driving while under the influence and that no damages appeared on my vehicle as a caller had called and said I was in an accident. Attorney Hayes stuck around and believed in the case for a 7-8month stretch of answering any question my wife and I had. He believes in his work and his office reflects that. He has the knowledge and experience to help anyone with an OWI case against them.

Attorney Michael Hayes recently obtained a complete dismissal of an operating under the influence 3rd offense charge in Milwaukee County Circuit Court for a violation that occurred in October 2021. He filed a motion challenging the right of the West Allis police department to arrest me. He and his assistant Sarah Wheatley prepared a great motion supported by audio/video evidence showing that two officers illegally entered my residence and subsequently arrested me for drunk driving. The charge of refusing to submit to a blood draw was also dismissed. No conviction will appear on my driving record, I won't serve any jail time, I won't have my license suspended or revoked, I won't be under the Ignition Interlock requirement and I won't have to pay a fine.
He's a really good lawyer. He's great on communication. He's always available to talk to me and my father. He accurately predicted what would occur. I highly recommend Attorney Mike Hayes. I think he is the best DUI Milwaukee lawyer.

I'm not going to dive into my case, but let me tell you how I feel about Attorney Michael Hayes:
Michael Hayes is like an artist as he will paint you a picture of events of what your up against and how best to handle the situation at hand. When you look at the picture, you will have a greater understanding of the aspects of your case that you haven't seen before and details you haven't thought about either. He's able to paint a picture so well that anyone can understand him. If, perhaps, you don't understand something, please tell him and he'll paint you a picture of greater detail.
Just like an artist has a strong passion to paint, Michael Hayes also embodies a strong passion for his work.
If he doesn't understand something he'll honestly let you know and ask you to give him time to research a answer for you.
A lawyer with passion such as Michael Hayes, is definitely a lawyer you want to have working for you. I am extraordinarily happy I was a client of Michael Hayes. My case is finally complete and is now a masterpiece among all the other masterpieces he has done before mine.
He'll have options for you to consider taking with the possible outcomes (although there are no guarantees) spelled right out for you to understand. He'll help guide you in the best direction to take for your case.
You'll know he has a large library of experience in his head just by talking with him. I highly recommend Michael Hayes.
