Admitted to Practice in the Following Courts:

Results:
- My client was charged with a serious sexual offense that would have required state time that the client register as a sex offender. When the Judge in the case made a questionable ruling over my objection on the day set for jury trial, I filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal and argued that my clients constitutional rights had been violated. The Court of Appeal found in my favor and ordered the Trial Court to dismiss all charges.
- Client charged with 3 felony counts of forgery and identity
theft. Prior to any court appearances, was able to discuss the case
with the District Attorney and convince the District Attorney to dismiss
all charges.
- Client was charged with Driving Under the Influence with a blood
alcohol level of over .12 and several witnesses who observed the client
driving. Was able to win the DMV hearing and preserve my clients
privilege to operate a motor vehicle. In court, was able to negotiate
the case to a reckless driving, again preserving my clients Drivers
License, and pay a minimal fine.
- Client was charged with assault and battery and facing up to 1
year in county jail. The victim in the case had bruises and contacted
the police immediately as well as made serious allegations that my
client had sexually harassed her on numerous occasions. Through my
investigation I noticed several inconsistencies in the police report
filed by the victim, these inconsistencies were very subtle and slipped
past the District Attorney when they initially reviewed the reports.
After several lengthy discussions with the District Attorney, he was
ultimately offered a reduced charge of disturbing the peace and avoided
any and all jail time.

Client Testimonial:
"I had two cases brought against me, one based in Orange County and another in Torrance. The Torrance case was handled by attorney Gary Hayes. There were eight counts against me and two doctors pressing charges. Although I had evidence supporting my claim that the doctors were negligent and incompetent, the doctors were adamant about continuing to pursue criminal charges against me.
I typed sincere apology letters to the doctors and with a little skill and effort Mr. Hayes was able to convince one of the doctors to drop charges in exchange for restitution payment. The other doctor and one of his staff members completely disregarded my detailed apology letter and were unreasonable with regard to Mr. Hayes' attempt to settle the matter. I had previously argued with the staff member in the doctor's office and she was vengefully determined to prosecute me irregardless of what my actual intentions had been.
The doctor and his staff member continued over a period of a few months to insist upon bringing charges against me. I'm fully confident that most attorneys would never have had the patience and expertise to build a relationship with and gain the trust of such difficult people. Mr. Hayes was incredibly patient and spent a significant amount of time developing relations with the doctor and his staff member. His endurance, trustworthiness, stable nature and experience eventually allowed for the matter to be reduced to civil compromise in exchange for a large restitution payment. Gary Hayes demonstrated himself to be an intelligent, genuinely helpful person and dedicated attorney. All charges were dropped thanks to Mr. Hayes' incredible perseverance in creating justice."
