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.

Amazing Attorney

I hired Mr.Bailey to represent me in a criminal case and I cannot even begin to describe what an amazing job he did.He made what could have been a very stressful process easy and stress free.He is incredibly knowledgeable,understanding and compassionate and made sure to keep me updated every step of ...the way.My case was resolved quickly and efficiently and I would highly recommend him.

Completely an outstanding Attorney

This professional, yet simple in gesture, kind in voice and he'll fire in the court, is an incredible Attorney. Mr Bailey took my case personable, and as if he were sitting in my position. My charges were not one would envy in 2012. It was this man who gave my family and I a second chance. Mr Bailey ...not only won my case to my approval but he worked with me on cost and reasonable rates. In the end not only did I have the top counselor in SW Florida, I had made a true friend who stood and still stands in the forefront of justice for me and my family. I still recommend his name to this very day after his service for myself over 3yrs ago.

Amazing!!!!

He is the most intellegent, caring and reliable attorney in the Fort Myers area. If I was arrested he is the only one I would trust to get me off!

Posted by Chuck | March 20, 2011 | Criminal Defense

Very Professional and Works Quickly!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Bailey. I had a case where the police said I was driving with an open container. Fact of the matter was, I wasn't! Mr. Bailey clearly explained to me my options and handled my case with a quickness that I haven't seen a lawyer ever do. Once I hired him he took care of every...thing. I didn't even have to go to court and was able to continue my daily life!!!
