Client Reviews
"I’ve known Wayne Bailey for over two decades and in that time, he has proven himself to be a faithful friend and a outstanding attorney when I’ve had legal issues. He has created the final wills and testamentary documents for my partner and me as well as all the documents that accompany them such as powers of attorney, advanced directives, etc. He was read over contracts for me and served me very well by his keen eye and in-depth knowledge of Texas law: several details that I ignored might have tripped me up had he not caught them. Recently, he has given me insightful investment and tax advice and he knows a helluva lot about the value of antiques and jewelry. I consider it a privilege to have a guy like Wayne to call on when I have legal questions. He is a tremendous resource."
"Adrian Wayne Bailey is a great lawyer who I first met 30+ years ago when he represented me in a custody matter. Since then, he has done other legal work for me and I have referred many of my friends to him also. He’s also a pretty good auctioneer and does a lot of charity auctions. If you ever need a Lawyer or Auctioneer, give him a call. You will not regret doing so."
"Wayne did legal work for me and my companies for many years before I retired. He was not a “yes” man and often kept me from making mistakes I was inclined to make. Since I left the business, he has represented me in several personal matters."
"I am a former attorney who worked with Mr. Bailey on many cases. I found him to be conscientious, knowledgeable, & honorable. He always went above & beyond to be sure his clients were satisfied. He is always at the top of my list!"
