I am a divorce attorney who is a Board Certified Family Law Specialist, certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Not only am I a dedicated lawyer, but I am also a dedicated family man and member of the community. I understand the stress, time, and responsibilities of raising a family in my North Dallas community. I have been married for 31 years and am raising two children who are attending J.J. Pearce High School and Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. My son plays football at Southwestern.
Bailey & Galyen practices in many areas of law and can provide our clients with expertise in many areas. I have been practicing law for 33 years and am licensed in Texas, California, and Pennsylvania. I have vast experience in custody litigation, property division litigation, divorce, mediation, examination of complex financial documents, valuing and dividing business entities and interests, real estate division, mineral rights, and partition agreements, along with myriad other issues that surface in family law.
There simply is no case too complex for Bailey & Galyen and I to handle. The dedication and hands-on approach of our lawyers provides the highest quality of legal representation to our clients. The recognition of our peers and clients indicates that we are certainly doing something right.
