As an avid pilot, Certificated Flight Instructor, commercial pilot, former member of the United States Air Force, and Aviation Law Instructor at a California State University, Mr. Bailey combines extensive legal expertise with comprehensive knowledge of FAA rules and regulations as well as understanding the science of aviation.
With wide experience in wrongful death and personal injury law, Mr. Bailey has the skill and experience to handle complex legal challenges. His experience in the high-dollar, high-stakes, and high-complexity arena of aviation law has served his clients well with cases throughout the United States and around the globe. Mr. Bailey has also served as General Counsel and as a Board Member for the Santa Monica, CA Museum of Flying for over 25 years.
Mr. Bailey’s experience also includes cases with complex brain injuries, including carbon monoxide poisoning, and other product liability injuries. These types of cases take knowledge and dedication in order to achieve successful results. During my career I have helped my clients to settle their cases before they ever see a courtroom and I have fought tooth and nail for them during complex trials.

We contacted Bailey & Partners when our daughter almost died from a drug which was mislabeled. From the very beginning Patrick Bailey showed extreme care and we trusted him immediately. The whole firm was very professional throughout the process and we ended up with a settling for a substantial...
"I've worked with Patrick on a couple cases and have always been extremely impressed with his focus and attention to detail. I recently referred an aviation case to Patrick and the result he obtained exceeded what I originally expected would be a best case scenario for the plaintiff. He achieved this by using his deep understanding of aviation (both the law as it relates to aviation and also his knowledge of subject from a practical perspective) to turn a contested liability case into one that made the defense look more than just negligent."
"I served as co-counsel with Patrick on a multi-million dollar international arbitration. Patrick is highly skilled at all aspects of complex litigation, from depositions to hearings to strategy. And he's a great guy to boot! I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. I met Mr. Bailey many years ago when he was opposing counsel in an aviation accident case. He was a very knowledgeable lawyer and a highly skilled adversary. Since then we have worked on cases together and I have come to further respect his experience and expertise. He is at the top of my list when it comes to aviation counsel in Southern California."
"I have known Patrick for over 15 years. He is an excellent lawyer who works very hard for his clients. He is a lawyer with integrity and I am proud to write this endorsement for him."
