None Better

Brad Bayliff is an excellent attorney, and a man of unwavering integrity. He helped our group of residents prevail over parties that were able to spend about 10 times what we could. I can't say enough good things about Brad, his work, and his results. If you need help with power line matters, Br...ad is your man!

Great Experience! Great Attorney!

Almost 2 years ago we discovered we were going to be on the (potential) route of the latest high power line development and new power substation for our area. This was not only a blind-siding notice, but one that we could not have imagined the complexity and opposition that would be involved. After m...any community meetings, petitions, letters, web-site development, banners, signs, education and so much more, it become very apparent that trying to do this on our own was going to end up being a losing proposition. We interviewed a couple of attorney's in this arena (including Mr. Bayliff) and the local attorney in our group had the wisdom and understanding to recommend the best among them--Brad Bayliff. That decision was the smartest thing that we could have possibly have done, as Mr. Bayliff proved that he is incredibly knowledgeable in this field and his experience with the process, the people, the proceedings was unmatched at every turn. Mr. Bayliff is respected among his peers, as I am sure he is respected by all of his clients; certainly, he has the respect and heart-felt thanks of our community--many times over. Mr Bayliff was collaborative with the community and our small steering group, and was always able to bring our local perspective into the sharp focus of the law and proceedings. At each step along the way, he made himself available to help us understand what was going to happen next and what we needed to do to prepare with him for the next stage of the process. I would describe Brad Bayliff as Strategic. Experienced. Respected. Collaborative. Astute. Trustworthy (not a label that I would pass out casually in this field). And Humble. Did I get paid for this endorsement? Yes! If you count the decision that was made in our favor by the PUC, we were paid handsomely for this meager endorsement. (No--no monitory compensation or other compensation was offered or received for this resounding testimony of Mr. Bayliff's work on our community's behalf). If you need an attorney in this field of experience, I would resoundingly recommend that you start and end your search with Brad Bayliff. Thanks, Brad, for your work in our community! We will stay in touch.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
