During her three years at Loyola, she interned at two public defender’s offices, and the ACLU, in addition to working as a research assistant for three criminal-focused professors.. Since graduating from Loyola, she worked as a Deputy Public Defender in Ventura County for 3 years. In the 3 years she was there, Bailey took more cases to trial than any other criminal defense attorney in the county. During that time, Bailey was in court for 4-5 hours a day; giving her the confidence and knowledge to effectively represent clients inside and out of the courtroom.

In 2016, the Ventura County Criminal Defense Bar Association awarded Bailey for her Outstanding Performance by a New Attorney.. After leaving the Public Defender’s Office, Bailey accepted a job as a State Bar prosecutor, working in the Los Angeles office. Though recognizing the State Bar’s work in protecting the public is important, Bailey’s true passion has always been criminal defense practice.. Bailey holds two bachelor’s degrees from the University of California, Irvine; in Political Science, and Criminology, Law & Society. UCI’s nationally renowned criminology program “focuses on the problem of crime and on understanding the social, cultural, political, and economic forces that interact with the law.” Bailey’s background in criminology contributes heavily to her firm belief in the client-centered approach, and holistic practice goals..

I am a life-long resident of Northwest Indiana and I attended Valparaiso University's Law School. I have been practicing law for 7 years and worked as a deputy prosecuting attorney before opening my law firm. That means I have a lot of courtroom experience and will be comfortable being Your Voice in court. I have practiced law in Lake County, Porter County, LaPorte County, Jasper County, Starke County & Tippecanoe County throughout my career.. The benefit of being a former deputy prosecuting attorney is that I have significant trial experience. In 2024 I went to trial on six (6) murder cases, as well as completed other trials in my career. This means I know how to present complex legal issues before a jury when representing my clients. This trial experience helps give me a competitive edge in negotiating cases on behalf of my clients - both criminal and personal injury cases. However, if we (my client and myself) do not believe negotiations are going the way we like, then we will go to trial to present the case we believe in to a jury and/or judge.. Every case is different. Every case deserves the highest level of due diligence. When I take on a new case, I review every piece of evidence so that I can give you informed legal advice. I also believe in a patient approach where I will take the time to answer all of your questions. My goal is to make sure you know how your case will impact your life, that means: Career impact, driving privileges, right to own a firearm, etc. We will decide how to proceed on your case as a team once we have gone over the facts and evidence of your case.
