Just as important, he knows the key players—the judges, prosecutors, and clerks—which gives him a practical edge that only comes with time and experience in the local legal community.

Criminal Case Dismissed

When I ran into legal trouble, and had criminal charges brought against me, I was uncertain on how to proceed. I knew I wanted a good lawyer. Mark Bailey was recommended to me by a friend. I asked him to representment me and he took my case. I am so thankful that he did. Through Mr. Baileys expertis...e and diligence my case was eventually dismissed. Mr. Bailey was a great communicator, easy going, professional, honest, genuine and thorough. In court the judge looked at me and said "you've got a great lawyer here." I sentiment I fully agree with. It was clear Mark was respected by both the judge and the prosecutor. I want to thank Purnell, McKennet and Menke, and most of all Mark Bailey, for their firm and their excellent lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Bailey. Sincerely, Dominic

Reckless Speeding Charge in Virginia

Mark helped us so much by providing mitigation tasks that could be completed before the court date to lessen the charge. He listened and we agreed on a strategy. He was able to get the charge lowered with minimal consequence. Thank you!

Amazing Work

He believed in me & helped me to show the judge that my mistakes would be redeemed & that my mistakes doesn’t explain my character but shows that we can learn & grow as people. He was very helpful throughout the whole process

Reckless ticket

I was charged with reckless driving - General, failure to have state inspection and failure to properly display license plates. Mark had a strategy early on for getting the commonwealths attorney to drop and reduce charges. Communication was excellent and always received calls or emails back ...in a timely manner. Highly recommend Mr Bailey so anyone in the northern VA area that needs a lawyer for traffic tickets.
