Great attorney and team

Worked with Andrew going through a contentious divorce, and he remained calm and strategic throughout. I can't thank him and his legal team enough for keeping clear heads when things started getting heated.

Be aware.........

Be aware!!! I did hire him to handle my divorce case but unfortunately he was not competent at all. Your case important details might be got known by your opponent lawyer. Just think twice before make the decision.

Trustworthy and Honest Lawyer

I hired and retained Mr. Bayley in late July 2016. I was in a middle of a very bad divorce, and I was being represented by very unproductive lawyer with a firm, when I found Andrew Bayley. I knew I needed to change lawyer because after 2 months and almost 15k, not even halfway through the divorce, m...y first attorney was all about money. After speaking with Andrew over the phone, I knew I wanted him to help me. His words were rooted in me and I trusted him instantly. He advised me in our initial meeting he would work with me on payment because we both knew my divorce was very ugly, and it could potentially get uglier, needless to say, become more costly. My house had a child support lien from Atty. Gen Texas that my ex husband filed against my homestead for a child out of state; he was going after the little retirement and stocks I had; he was trying to get me for alimony; he took some properties off my name destroyed my home and he tried to commit insurance fraud. It was a big ball of mess. He began to work on my case, and as my case progressed, the work we did together, and how he took the time to listen, it all worked out in the best way possible at the end. When I say he listened, I mean he listened! The trust between attorney and client has to exist without a doubt. Our ideas and how we collaborated on how matters proceeded was essential to the success of my case, so It was important to me that he took my judgments and decisions on certain matters into consideration. I trusted his judgments when he consulted with me about how we were going to proceed with certain matters beyond my comprehensions. There was no doubt there. He told me just like it is and he did not sugar coat anything NEITHER did he nickel and dime my case, just like how the other firm did! December 6, I was in a trial, and I never imagined that my divorce was going to be granted. I am now divorced and have sole custody of my 12 year old daughter. The clean up and starting over is hard, but I could not have done it alone, and Andrew made it possible for me and my daughter. He is a great attorney and I wish nothing but the best for him and his firm. I pray there be more people like me he will and can help along the way. God will bless him because of his clean heart and good intent to help those in need.

Trust what he says...he is only looking out for you

Andrew represented me in a divorce case. Andrew is very competent and knows the law. He doesn't try to sell you extras you do not need. I personally should have trusted him more but I was wanting to get out of my marriage quick so I took a deal that maybe was worse for me in the end, however money... wasn't my objective. I wanted my son, and there is not enough money in the world that can replace a child. I agreed to 50/50 custody even though Andrew said he could get me primary with support. At the time, it wasn't my concern as I have my son most of the time. I plan on using Andrew again for the modification when the time comes in about a year.

Calm and Professional

Andy is a great attorney to have in your corner! I was going through a divorce and fighting for custody of my child. First off he is straight up with you on whether or not you have a chance of winning. I watched him get called everything in the book by the other attorney and never once did he lose hi...s composer, and he responded to her with respect no matter how she talked to him. Most important was his knowledge through the ups and downs during the case everything Andy said would happen did. And even over a year after everything ended Andy is there anytime I have a question. All in all he's a great attorney who knows his job and won't let you down.
