5.0 out of 5 stars

I chose William Bailey to represent me because of his traffic law expertise, he lived in the area and was familiar working with the Ramsey County Courthouse, he called me within an hour of my first inquiry, he walked me through all of my options in a clear manner, he didn't pressure me, and he and was both sympathetic to and frank about my situation. In our several phone calls and emails he was never condescending, only professional, which I highly value. He made it clear that he thought we could win, but made sure that I understood all the possible outcomes and made no guarantees. Fortunately we did win, and very quickly, despite there being nebulous conditions in the courthouse's processing due to COVID19. He notified me immediately when we won and also sent physical documentation that the case had been closed. I am thoroughly pleased with the job that Mr. Bailey has done and will definitely hire him again if there is a need. Thank you, Bill!
