5 /5 Curtis Wojnar: I was fortunate enough to have hired Ms. Bailey to represent and defend me in a complex family law case. It is important to note that I live in another state and the outcome of the case in IL would ultimately impact my family law case where I reside as it relates to jurisdiction (where the case will be heard) for child custody and divorce. From the start, Ms. Bailey was professional, communicated clearly and effectively (i.e., as a speaker and listener), kept me informed, answered all my questions, and was well organized. She was very knowledgeable, resourceful, and provided great advice through the whole process which helped ease my mind. In addition, Ms. Bailey was compassionate and genuinely cared about me and my family.
Ms. Bailey went above and beyond her expectations as an attorney as evidenced by meeting with me remotely on weekends so that I did not have to take off from work, meeting with me on Christmas day to help me prepare for court that was scheduled the day after Christmas, and even offering to pick me up from the airport when I flew in to IL on Christmas eve. At no time did I feel like I was rushed by Ms. Bailey or that she needed to get to her next client while meeting with her. Instead, Ms. Bailey was patient and took the necessary time to understand my unique situation so she could represent me properly.
During the trial Ms. Bailey made sure that all the necessary paperwork was prepared (i.e., written materials were clear and presented in a logical manner) and submitted on time. She was a strong advocate and assertive in the courtroom. Ms. Bailey was able to successfully defend me in court through her thorough preparation, attention to detail, persuasive speaking, and her ability to adapt to changing situations that occurred during the trial.
Overall, I am forever grateful to Ms. Bailey for her legal help and highly recommend her if you need someone to represent you.
