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.

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.

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.

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.

WOULD USE AGAIN

Ok so why did I decided to give AB such a high rating. My case involves a time consuming litigation against a for profit medical school based out of Mexico, operating in the US, they also have an office in San Antonio and in NY state. This school used deceptive trade practices to lure students int...o their program and collect their federal loan money. Before hiring AB, I consulted 3 attorneys in TX, all of which have great reviews and are considered SUPER LAWYERS (PS I’d love to find out how these lawyers are placed in these magazines). Below are the lawyers, both Julie Johnson and Kustoff/Phipps told me I could not litigate this school in TX because the school made its students sign a document that any legal dispute would be litigated in Mexico, BOTH ATTORNEYS WERE INCORRECT, Andrew got it correct, and the school was forced to defend in San Antonio and not Mexico were I have no rights!!! Ironically, both lawyers were so called experts on consumer fraud and for profit schools, HUMM could have fooled me. Tucker was ok, but he insisted I litigate in NY state instead of TX which may not have been possible. Not only were these lawyers incorrect, but they hide themselves behind paralegals and office workers who do not have the clients interest at heart, with AB he is the only individual who answers the phone. Another plus to using AB is his willingness to travel to different cities. Law Office of Julie Johnson firm, Dallas TX Ryan J. Tucker DAVIS, CEDILLO & MENDOZA, INC. McCombs Plaza, Suite 500 755 E.
