Liar

I hired this loser without reading the reviews, big lesson learned, he took $50k cash and wouldn’t even bother showing up for court, once it came time for trial, he tells me he would send his own son to prison and that’s possibly the only truthful thing that’s ever come out of his mouth, his assistan...t calls me and tells me Mark needs another $20k by Friday of that week or he’s going to make sure my family member goes to jail, he knew I had to quit my job to get my 401k out to try to get this kind of cash to pay for a criminal defense attorney, then he does absolutely nothing to defend my family as I’ve paid him $70k cash, I’ve heard when he had to give one lady back some of her money, he attempted to run her over with his car, glad to see he’s resigned, he owes me a lot of money back

There's good and bad here...

There's some good and some bad about this team, Mark Bailey and his paralegal assistant, Ashley. First let's cover the good... these guys are knowledgable and have built a reputation that's well known in the legal community... no one who's gone up against them in court wants to challenge them because... they CAN be very hard to beat... but with that said, they have extremely poor communication skills and you may or may not hear from them after a bit. Now to be fair, they followed up on my situation and made sure to stay on top of it should anything have ever come up... which thankfully it didn't... but both Mark and Ashley seemed competent and I liked having a well known powerhouse duo in my corner. the problem is, they don't return calls... and if you end up in jail needing them to respond, that's bad... really bad, these guys are NOT cheap at all and should you need someone who will reliably respond, this is not them. They could be legends in the legal community if they had better communication skills. All in all I gave it three stars... if they were better at communicating, they'd have received 5.

Crappy!!!

The bad reviews are very true, my brother hired mark for my dad in March and said he should be out by the middle of summer, and he still doesn't even have a court date and they've been giving us the run around. For one we haven't received a SINGLE phone call from Ashley or mark so after a while we st...arted calling, ever since my brother gave them 4,000 and signed those papers they haven't answered or returned ONE phone call. So my aunt, myself and my other brother started calling them a few months ago they started hanging up on him every time he called, won't answer my aunt's calls at all ( I'm assuming they remember her number because she called so much because they kept telling us lies) I called yesterday and I asked if they've heard anything on my dad's case and then she hung up on me so I called her back and it didn't even ring, went straight to voicemail so I decided to use my cousin's phone and she answered and said we won't know anything for 2 weeks. This whole time if we could ever get them to answer she has been telling me and my aunt 2 different things even if we called the same day! In the middle of May I called and she said we will definitely have a court date by June first so I called a couple days after the first and she said we will know in 2 weeks now Everytime I call it's "we won't know anything for 2 weeks" so my aunt went to the office today and the other guy in the office said he hasn't seen them in 2 weeks so either he's trying to lie for them or they're not even trying to do their job. I'm going to college to be a paralegal right now and I promise you she is NOT doing her job correctly these are NOT the type of people you want to hire!!

Driven by Greed

I wrote a $20,000.00 check and handed it to Mark Bailey. In the next breath he told me how he was going to spend some of that check on his upcoming deep sea fishing vacation. He talked a lot of CRAP and did NOTHING constructive for us. He is the WORST excuse for an attorney I’ve ever come across and... not only have I used many attorneys in Oklahoma I worked for one for many years. Not only did he do NOTHING to defend my son he didn’t even show up at my sons last court date when he was being sentenced and I had to call Atkins and Markoff for someone else to appear while my son stood alone in court waiting. I can’t give negative stars so he gets one. Don’t waste your time.

Thug

I hire Mark the THUG Bailey , and wished I never met him . He took 1500 dollars from me in cash . should never had paid him in full . the judge let him off my case when I didn't make my court date . BUT HERE IS THE THING I CALL THE (THUG) AND TOLD HIM MY CAR HAD BEEN STOLEN AND WAS STRANDED IN ELRENO... OK . He the THUG never told judge butner seminole co. And dismissed him off my case. So I when to his office and ask for my money back . a Thug will never give any part of your money back. So later I filed with the bar and was in jail at the Time and lost . I done a lot of bad things in life but for an attorney to tell you what you want to hear and change when you get paid in full then look for a way out , is the lowest of the lows . #stayaway
