Andrew Michael Bayley

Although I am a business owner residing in a different state, recently it became apparent that my company and I required local representation in Harris County, Texas. Because the matter at hand concerned an issue of significant complexity and went back several years, the selected attorney would nece...ssarily have to undergo a rapid learning curve. I chanced upon Andrew Bayley after interviewing and considering a score of alternate candidates. In our initial discussion I was struck by Andrew's rapid uptake of complex issues as well as the common sense he brought to the task evident by his highly insightful questions. I decided to contract with Andrew and have never regretted doing so. Blessed with youth and vigor, Andrew has brought a great deal of positive energy to an otherwise deeply frustrating case. During times when I found myself stressed and at my wit's end, invariably Andrew was able to help me achieve healthy perspective. Time and again, he distilled complicated problems into their core elements and thereby was able to propose potentially reasonable solutions. Andrew is both hard working and personally committed to his client's cases. It is clear that for him the practice of advocacy constitutes a personal 'sense of mission' rather than simply a career calling. After one particularly grueling week I remember asking Andrew what he was doing to unwind for the weekend. He surprised and touched me by replying that he was volunteering in a local workshop -- offering legal expertise to low-income folks who could otherwise not afford such high level services. In my experience, and on too many occasions to count, Andrew went above and beyond the call of duty. In fact, it was largely due to Andrew's legal acumen and conscientious efforts that an almost impossible commercial litigation problem has gradually evolved into a tolerable resolution. Particularly for a business person facing complex litigation, I do not hesitate in offering Andrew Bayley my highest recommendation, In sum, the value Andrew provides his clients is of the highest caliber.
