Biography

I have been representing those wrongfully injured in our State since 1990 and have never represented or defended an insurance company. The Hayes Law Firm is concerned about quality representation, not quantity. We aggressively represent our clients in and out of the court room. Please call me for a free consultation today to see if I can help you get the compensation that you are entitled to. The insurance companies and their adjusters have attorneys working for them, please make sure you have an attorney working for you. I have been doing this now for over 30 years and would be honored to meet with you.

Legal Answers
47 Questions Answered
Q. In a courtroom setting w/Jury, what is the proper way to introduce higher court rulings into a trial?
A: Give the judge the case law before the jury is called in and highlight the applicable parts, and ask him to charge the jury with the highlighted portions. That means he will read those to the jurors when he is telling them about the law which happens after closing statements, and before they deliberate. I hope that is helpful and I do wish you the best.
Q. I got in an accident. It was my fault. My insurance lapsed. Vehicle was not insured at the time of accident.Clean record
A: Just go to court and be very honest with the judge and let him know that you have no tickets and it was an honest mistake. As far as the damages, go to the other person and or their car, they will have to use their uninsurance coverage. This is coverage that is mandatory in our state and it will pay for damages when someone responsible for an accident does not have coverage. I do wish you well and hope this information helps you
Q. I recently got my car stuck in flood waters yet the cops still towed it to the impound should I have to pay to get out
A: You will have to pay to get it out and you should also be mindful that there may storage cost involved so I would do this sooner than later. The logic behind it is it was a safety hazard and had to be removed for public safety and you are the owner and are responsible for securing the vehicle.
