Fred Bailey

Elder law lawyer | Jul 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Joe is extremely knowledgeable in every area now considered elder law, and he has the knack of quickly conveying his competency and reliability to clients. He has excellent contacts and resources and focuses entirely on the client's needs and concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend a client to Joe. He is a natural educator, not only to the public but also to the Bar and fellow professionals. He has what some have called "professional nonchalance.""

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
