A few years ago I earned my young, drunk, and stupid card and needed a good attorney. Joel came highly recommended from a friend, and helped me every step of the way - explaining the entire process to me as we dealt with the courts. I was quite pleased with the outcome Mr. Bailey was able to negotiate - he was worth his weight in gold. Joel will always be my first recommendation to anyone I know that needs a good criminal attorney. Give him a call if you need help like I did!

I have known Joel for some time now. I rarely trust people to the extend that I trust Joel. I know if he tells me something it is in my best interest without agenda on his part. Joel is truly one of the good guys and I would be happy to discuss this with anyone. I consider Joel a friend for life.

Joel is the best in the business. He got all my charges dismissed and was very easy to work with. On top of Mr. Bailey being the best at what he does, he is an all around good human! Thanks again Joel, you're the man!

As a personal injury attorney, I send all my criminal matters to Joel Bailey, since he has been practicing criminal law in San Diego County and the Vista Court house for over 22 years. Joel will take care of you, as he has for many of my clients. I've witnessed Mr. Bailey in trial, and he's a strong advocate for his clients and his trial experience has repeatedly proved effective. Highly recommended.
