Traffic Ticket

Tom was very pleasant to work with. He got all the information from me in a simple phone call and made sure I was on board with all he was going to get done with my case. He came through and got everything sorted. I will come back should I have another issue to resolve.

Client-focused service went above and beyond

There are a lot of really great lawyers out there, but few pair client-focus and legal expertise like Tom Bailey. It would have been easy to let my matter fall through the cracks (minor traffic ticket) but Tom got back to me right away and clearly communicated the process. Not to mention the matter w...as resolved in less than a week! He's a straight shooter and determined to get you the best result possible. 10 times out of 10 would (and will) highly recommend.

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 03

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Without a doubt, Tom is one of the best criminal lawyers in Missouri. He has dedicated his career to protecting his clients' rights and fighting for them in the court room. Tom has extensive trial experience from his days in with the Public Defender's office, so he knows his way around a courtroom. And he has a keen legal mind to help pinpoint the central issues in a case. If you have been charged with a crime, then I would strongly encourage speaking with Tom."

  • 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.
