Ask Bailey
What is the problem you are best at solving for your clients?
My clients entrust me with matters that are deeply personal and sometimes tragic. By approaching their challenges with a balance of sensitivity and pragmatism, I help them resolve complex legal and financial problems and reach the best possible outcomes.
What excites you about your work and contribution to the ELET team?
I love working closely with my clients, learning their stories, earning their trust, and finding creative solutions to their unique situations. It is exciting to see how my work improves real people’s lives.
What do you love most about ELET?
I love that my firm is willing and eager to take on cases and challenges that other firms aren’t equipped to handle or interested in taking on. It is exciting to work with a team of people who are committed to giving their absolute best.
Where can we find you when you’re not working?
With my sweet little family.
Fun fact:
I have a pug named Sophia, and she is a real character. I am amused when my clients want to incorporate pet planning into their plans because I get it—I'm a dog person, too!
