Great Legal Advice

Mr. Bailes was very knowledgable and knew exactly what legal advice to give me in my situation. If anyone needs a great lawyer, I would not hesitate to recommend him to help you in your situation!

Trustworthy Attorney

I got into some trouble and had no idea how the "system" worked. Jason Bailes walked me through everything. He answered my questions clearly and in a timely manner. His competence representing me resulted in an outcome better than I could have imagined. He was approachable, very reassuring, and trea...ted me with respect. If I end up needing a lawyer's services again, Jason is who I'll turn to.

Exceptional Attorney

When our teenager got into trouble with the law, we were horrified and had no idea what to do. Jason Bailes treated us with respect, professionalism, and care. His calm demeanor and confident manner carried over into the courtroom, where he was able to negotiate a positive result. Jason's knowled...ge of the law and excellent working relationship with personnel in the the criminal justice system, combined with his easygoing personality, make him an excellent attorney and someone we highly recommend.

"Jason is a brilliant attorney with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is well respected by prosecutors, judges and fellow defense attorneys.

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Co-worker

"Jason is one of the best attorneys I know. He, much like The Gambler, knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. When it's time to hold 'em, his extensive trial experience will win the case. When it's time to fold 'em, he can charm and cajole prosecutors into giving away the farm. I endorse his work."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
