Mr. Bailus represented me in a criminal matter. He was very kind and was able to get me the lowest fine possible in my case. He explained everything to me in a way I could understand it. I felt like I could trust him and I am very happy with my results. I would hire him again. Excellent attorney!
I've known mark Bailus for more than 30 years. During that time I have had many opportunities to observe him handling his cases in criminal court rooms. I've also consulted with him on many criminal issues.
I would rate him as excellent in both his knowledge of the law and high ethical standards.
I am a partner in the law firm of Bailus Cook & Kelesis, Ltd. Â Although the firm maintains a general law practice with emphasis on taxation and commercial litigation, business, corporate, criminal tax law and "white collar" crimes, I practice primarily in the areas of complex civil and criminal litigation and appeals (state and federal). Having demonstrated a high degree of peer recognition and professional competence, placing me in the top 10% of all attorneys in the United States, I have been accepted as a member of "Lawyers of Distinction." I am rated "AV Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest possible rating for both legal abiilty and ethical standards. Â I have also been recognized as one of "America's Most Honored Professionals" (top 5%) by Martindale-Hubbell. Â Â
