Outstanding Attorney

I want to thank Bill Baity from the bottom of my heart. He certainly took what was an overwhelming situation for me, told me not to worry and within 30 days took my issue to a probable cause hearing and just ate their lunch on site...it was amazing to watch an accomplished trial attorney work his mas...tered craft in a way that wasn't demeaning those on the other side but definitely spelled a great big win for his client. There's nobody I'd recommend more highly in Iredell County for any of your needs. Way to go Bill Baity Law Firm!!! My sincerest appreciation for being just that great! -Scott

Excellent and Discreet

I hired Bill to handle a very delicate situation that I found myself in. Being a professional, I needed it handled correctly and very discreetly. Bill negotiated the best possible outcome and always made sure that my time in the courtroom was minimal as to not expose my situation to others. Bill's... attention to detail, knowledge, and relationships within the courtroom are second to none. I would recommend Bill to anyone who needs a an attorney and certainly to anyone who needs an attorney that has the utmost concern and discretion for his clients.

Savior!!!!

Mr. Baity has literally proven to be my savior. I was recently pulled over and given a ticket for having some pain medicine outside of a prescription bottle. I had paperwork showing my prescriptions from the day after the ticket to the current date, paperwork showing that I had knee surgery, and pa...perwork showing that I have chronic back pain. The only piece of paperwork that I could not provide was my prescription paperwork for the term when I received the ticket. Mr. Baity went to bat hard for me. The D.A.'s office could have easily charged me with this because technically I could not prove that the medicine that I had when I got the ticket was mine. But sure enough Mr. Baity came to the rescue. I will be traveling to Europe in a month to continue my Professional Football Career and will be there for a year or more and knew that I had to get this totally resolved before I left or it could be a disaster for me. I will recommend Bill Baity to anyone I hear is looking for a lawyer. I could not have asked for a better lawyer and now that the dust has settled I will never use a different lawyer. Thank you so much and you have no idea what you have done for me and I am forever in your debt. Be sure that I will send you a signed football and picture from the upcoming season. Thank you and God Bless you Mr. Baity!!!!!

"When contacting Mr. Baity's office on behalf of a friend, as I don't handle traffic tickets, I was incredibly impressed with the high level of customer service that was immediately apparent. The young man who took the call was quite personable, listened patiently and then promptly provided answers to all of my questions. I will most certainly refer others to Mr. Baity's office and feel confident that their cases will be handled proficiently and they will be treated well."
