Won my appeal

I asked for help from many attorneys and Patrick was willing to take my case and help me appeal a civil case that should have never happened in 2019. Personable, reliable, communicative, honest and reasonable. Hope to never have to use an attorney again but if I did it would be with Mr. Bailey.

Best lawyer in town

I hired Patrick to help me on my VOP case and he kept me from having to be in jail, and was very professional and honest with me through out it all, he always answered my calls and made me feel confident through it all and he did everything he said he would for me! He's an awesome criminal lawyer.

Compassinate Professionalism

I am compelled to make it known to others who would benefit, how superlative a person is Patrick Bailey. I had a troubling situation and Patrick put me at ease so well, while providing expert legal advice. So many times we find attorneys who are good at what they do, but they are inaccessible, or the... head of the firm meets with the client once and then one is pawned off to a staff attorney. Not Patrick! He puts his personal phone number right out there and he answers the phone himself. I have never seen such peerless access and compassion. If trouble should come your way I HIGHLY advise that you begin with Esquire Bailey. You will not be disappointed.

Unmatched service, integrity and tenacity!

Patrick worked on my case close to 8 years (!). He kept updating me in the most conscientious and reliable manner. He never failed to answer any of my questions and that within the shortest time. I consider Patrick to be personable (hard to find in an attorney), professional at the same time and very... knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick to my family or closest friends. By the way: we won!
