Would never hesitate to hire him again

"I hired Vernon Bailey to assist with my legal issue. The level of preparedness and legal brilliance he brought to the case was simply outstanding. He was always several steps ahead, and their strategy secured a better outcome than I ever thought possible. A brilliant and highly effective attorney... who I would recommend without hesitation".

Super prepared / brilliant tactician / wins

Attorney Bailey accepted our attorney malpractice case where others that were contacted declined to do so. The initial interview conducted by Vernon was extensive and was not rushed. The potential strengths and weaknesses of the case were discussed in detail. Vernon accepted our case on a continge...nt fee basis and proceeded to negotiate a settlement with the malpractice insurer only to have a related party file a lawsuit to halt the action. Vernon successfully defended us in that proceeding (we secured a clear and unambiguous victory) and then the opposing party appealed to the federal court. Vernon prevailed in that decision as well as the appellate court affirmed our victory in the district court. Through all of these processes, Vernon did not ask for any additional fees and kept us informed every step of the way. He asked for and respected our input and made certain to incorporate the relevant concerns into his argument. We always had a tough and fair advocate in our corner and knew -- win or lose -- we could not have had better representation.

Brilliant, Honest, Loyal and Powerful Advocate

Mr. Bailey took my case when the clock was running out to file my answer. He had the answer filed by midnight the same day. He was very honest and perceptive in the assessment of my case. His hunches were correct and problems avoided. He is a loyal advocate, brilliant and knows the law. Mr. Bail...ey is a real fighter, I got better results than I ever dreamed of.
