wonderful attorney

I personally cannot say enough about how impressed and beyond grateful I am, as well as my family, to Mr. Bayley. He has proven himself time and time again to be both honest and dedicated as an attorney and as a genuinely good person. As a client I feel completely comfortable and assured that he has ...and continues to do the best job possible to represent my case and I have since recommended (and will continue to do so) his services to anyone needing representation. Mr. Bayley is fair, diligent, and very knowledgeable in the realm of family law and personally as someone who has interacted with many attorneys both via my own profession and for personal matters Mr. Bayley is in my opinion hands down among the best. While many people remain in monetary debt to their lawyers, I will forever remain in one of gratitude to him.

Peace of Mind

First off, I started my case off going pro se, but then I realized that I couldn't handle the pressure coupled with the emotions involved of potentially losing my daughter to an out of state move; therefore I needed an attorney. I called Andy and from the first conversation he told me exactly what I ...felt without me having to express it to him. He was confident in my position and his ability to execute for our desired outcome. I felt easy and I was ready to go to trial. It felt like he had a concern for my situation and that he wanted what was right and just. This was my first actual hearing after 5 years of being on child support and going through mediations, so I didn't know what to expect in the actual court room. I was really satisfied with his knowledge of objections and his ability to cross examine. These are very important inside the courtroom. I did not feel like I had to just sit there, but it was a sense of team work and he heard me out, as well as I listened to him. When we left the courtroom I had to give Andy a pat on the back and told him, "You did a great job!" All in all we won the case with his help and God's favor I was able to have my peace of mind back. My daughter will not get to move and I am happy I picked Andy to represent me. If you are searching for representation, I advise you to give Andy a call.

Great Experience Working With Mr. Bayley

I have worked with quite a few attorneys in the past and I have got to say Mr. Bayley has provided me with the best legal service yet. I have been a client of his for the last 3 years and have used him for both my family and civil matters. At first glance, his age might suggest otherwise but he is ve...ry knowledgeable and experienced at what he does. He is very professional and attentive yet warm with his clients. Mr. Bayley is very direct and honest when discussing issues and he has always made himself available to discuss questions I have had. He is also very punctual with regards to keeping me informed with new developments. My biggest issue in the past with other attorneys has been communication but with Mr. Bayley this has not been an issue. Hands down best legal service I have ever been provided.

STAY AWAY!!!

I began looking for an attorney after my ex hired an aggressive attorney who was demanding all kinds of unreasonable things from me, and doing everything possible to screw me over. He seemed honest and compassionate, so I hired Andrew. In the 2 months or so that I worked with him, he did NOTHING. He ...claims to have reviewed the evidence I sent him, but if he actually did, it was at the last minute. He encouraged me to cave and accept ANYTHING they were willing to give me. The one thing I specifically asked him to do, the one thing which could have turned the tide of my case HE DID NOT DO. My feeling is that he was unprepared and did not know the proper procedures to accomplish what I asked him to do. I had already paid Andrew a substantial amount of money and didn't feel like I was any better off for it, so I fired him. He sent me an invoice saying that I owed him several hundred dollars. I disputed this, considering he hadn't done ANYTHING for my case, and he agreed to let me off. Now I find out he is still my "attorney of record", which apparently means I can't do anything without him. Now the AG is going to withhold over half of my income, and the court I'm in wont even let me set a hearing. Thanks Andy! That was $1500 well spent!

  • 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.
