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.

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.

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.

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.
