The definition of a true lawyer!

Patrick Bailey is an attorney of exceptional quality!!! It started with the introduction where his genuine care and lengthy experience made a very strong impression. His immense knowledge of carbon monoxide poisoning , it's side effects, necessary treatment , combined with the legal expertise to hand...le a complicated situation like mine won me over. That has been one of the best decisions of my life! Patrick has kept his word to me every single time throughout the long, long processes of fighting my case. His confidence and understanding of the law gave me hope when I had no hope. His humanity is unlike any other attorney I have ever met and I have worked exclusively for attorneys for over 20 years. I was poisoned with carbon monoxide by a negligent landlord and Patrick fought a difficult and complicated battle with numerous large defense law firms, but none of them were a match for his strategy and execution. His attention to detail in every single part of the case was absolutely awesome- I can not say enough how impressed I was by his vast knowledge of every aspect of my case- physical, mental, financial and of course legal. He recommended only exceptional quality doctors and other professionals during the course of the case and they helped me tremendously on my road to recovery. Every part of Patrick's practice is filled with excellence- every single communication, every single interaction and most importantly- every single decision on the legal front were nothing but top notch!!! Mr Bailey is an example of what an attorney should be!!!

My Lawyer, My Advocate, My Hero

Patrick Bailey is an extraordinary lawyer. Even though my case was relatively small, he spent so much time preparing, including nights, weekends and holidays. He spared no expense in hiring the most talented support staff. He is brilliant yet humble. I have never met anyone like him...let alone an at...torney! Patrick Bailey genuinely cares about his clients. I feel so fortunate to have found Patrick. He carried me from a state of hopelessness, to a state of peacefulness. He helped give me back my life. I will forever be indebted to Patrick. There aren't adequate words to describe the respect I have for Patrick Bailey, as an attorney and a friend. Anyone would be extremely fortunate to have Patrick Bailey as their lawyer. He is SENSATIONAL!

So very grateful

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... sum which we were able to put into a structured settlement for our daughter.

"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 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."
