  • I do not recommend Howard Bailey.
  • I used Howard 6-12 months ago.
  • Howard handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
I had no record, and felt that my case shoulda been thrown out of court. Instead of fighting, I was backed into a corner and had to plead guilty to something I did not do. I feel that a better lawyer would have fought harder for me, or at least would have been able to get me some kinda deal that wouldnta gotten me a record I didnt diserve. I cant blame Mr. Bailey for getting me arrested, but I did not think that he helped me enough or did enough for me. One thing he did really well was get me to pay all the $ up front - that was important. Getting me found not guilty or getting a dismissal was just not as important.

I will live and learn. You can learn from my mistake.

Lawyer's Comment: I NEVER have, and NEVER will be part of a client entering a plea to something the client tells me they did not do. In order to enter a plea of guilty, a client has to stand in front of a judge, swear to God that they will tell the truth, admit that they committed the crime, place a truthful factual basis on the record, and ask the Judge to accept the plea. For a person to post an anonymous complaint on a site like this that they were forced to enter a plea to something they did not do, means that they either lied to the Judge when they entered the plea, or their posting and rating of my services is less then accurate. You be the Judge, review my employment history, my success stories posted on www.nj-criminaldefense.com and the other information posted on this site. If you really believe this person, then call some other lawyer to represent you. If you believe this person is posting sour grapes, and would like to discuss your case, give me a call. As to the payment of legal fees, all clients are allowed several different payment options, including payment plans in many cases.

  • I recommend Howard Bailey.
  • I used Howard 6-12 months ago.
  • Howard handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
Not only is Mr. Bailey an excellent attorney, but also an outstanding human being. He takes pride and diligence in his profession and complete understanding in the human aspects of his clients. From the very first day, his work is thorough and comprehensive. His knowledge and understanding of the judicial system is outstanding, and he leaves no stone unturned when it comes to a proper defense for his clients. I am very pleased and thankful for all his time and effort in my sons case, which had a positive outcome. Thank you, Mr, Bailey and may God bless!

Lawyer's Comment: I recommend that all persons reading this post, check out all of the other information on this site about me, including these response comments, before deciding whether this client review is accurate, or not. The representation was provided according to the information and instructions of the client. No one can predict the future, and the representation of any lawyer can only be as good as the information, client instructions and facts of a particular case. I showed up personally for each hearing date, according to the schedule given to me by the Court. I have NEVER taken a side-commission from anyone. I NEVER will. As to the arbitration, the client initiated it. Then he chose to settle it without getting back any of the fee he had paid.

Anonymous Comment: Mr. Bailey actually helped me when I was caught in a sting operation. By this posting he will probably know who I am, so for his help, I owe it to him to put to his defense that he helped in that situation. As for his partner Mr. Orozco, stay away from him, just stick with Mr. Bailey.

Client Review:
Mr. Bailey experience is proven. Additionally he has an excellent understanding of the Law and is a class act. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and understanding of my situation. While seeking an attorney to represent me I was nervous and concerned. He calmed me down and represented me to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend him in any situation.
