Andrew is a uniquely skilled attorney

In my limited exposure to working with attorneys, I must admit that Mr Baylay’s service is by far the best. He recently represented me in a civil case where a greedy investor was trying to destroy me and my business. Mr Baylay was very skillfully in arguing my case. He was very knowledge about the... law and particulars of my defense. However, his abilities goes beyond just his knowledge of the law. He has a knack for pleading your case in a way thats easily understandable and yet passionate to the jury. In his cross examination of the plaintiff, he artfully exposed his greedy motives and attempts to mislead the jury. At the same time, Mr Baylay was very understanding of my situation and worked with me to keep his fees at a minimum. I was able to reach Mr Baylay at anytime to discuss my case. He was always responsive to my calls and emails. Overall, It was a pleasure to work with him and recommend him to anyone.

Extremely well-versed attorney willing to go to bat for you

Mr. Bayley is an extremely knowledgeable attorney able to bridge his education with experience to provide, hands down, the best legal services available. I have been a client of Mr. Bayley's for approximately 3 years. Services rendered include multiple business litigations, as well as counsel on chil...d custody and child support matters. Mr. Bayley not only consults with you directly one on one, he is very compassionate towards one's hardships. Throughout my entire time working with Mr. Bayley, he is always available to discuss questions I have and is very punctual with regard to keeping me informed with new developments. Every attorney I have worked with previously would require multiple messages left with his or her secretary and a minimum of several days, sometimes a few weeks, before I would hear back from them. In addition, the majority of the time I would communicate with a paralegal who would breach communication or mismanage information, that at times, would lead to issues that were too late to correct. Not with Mr. Bayley. He personally handles all of my questions and goes above and beyond what I feel any other attorney would do. Mr. Bayley not only works diligently on your case to bring about a positive result, he does so in an extremely timely manor. Whereas other attorneys I have dealt with, drag things out to produce more billable hours, thus costing me substantial amounts of money. I truly believe Mr. Bayley's ability to combine his experience with intellect has saved me thousands of dollars! And, produced a resolve that seemed bleak at times among very difficult circumstances. Mr. Bayley handled an issue for me in which an investor and business partner knowingly manipulated contracts and were working in an attempt to compromise my ability to make a living. Furthermore, at the time I was financially in a bind, whereas my former business partner was in a much more favorable monetary position to tie things up in court. Mr. Bayley did not stand for this, took the case head on, and ultimately was resilient and persistent to the point I never would have dreamed he could produce the outcome that resulted. Furthermore, I found myself in a difficult situation during a divorce. I had a number of questions about my rights with regards to seeing my son and financially compensating my ex-wife. Mr. Bayley not only addressed the issues I faced with the most appropriate approach, he made sure to protect my business and assets while looking out for my son's best interest during one of the most trying times in my life. I could not recommend a better attorney. I am confident that Mr. Bayley is one of the few individuals still willing to go the extra mile for clients simply because he does not settle for anything short of excellence.

I cannot recommend a lawyer more strongly than Andrew 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.
