Bailey & Galyen Attorneys at Law
At Bailey & Galyen, Attorneys at Law, with offices in Bedford, Texas, we have been providing high-quality legal representation to individuals and businesses across Texas for nearly 40 years. Though we offer proven counsel in different practice areas, our focus over the last four decades has been on the needs of personal injury victims. We take claims involving injuries suffered in any type of accident, including motor vehicle collisions, workplace mishaps, slips and falls, medical errors, nursing home neglect and abuse, dog bites and animal attacks, and dangerous or defective products (such as medical devices or pharmaceutical products).
To ensure that we offer skilled and knowledgeable representation to injured people, a number of our attorneys are Board-Certified in personal injury by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a designation earned by approximately one of every 10 attorneys in the Lone Star State. Bailey & Galyen is a Lead-Counsel-Verified firm and has long been AV-Preeminent* rated under Martindale-Hubbell’s Peer Review Rating System (the highest rating given).
At Bailey & Galyen, we understand your concerns about the potential costs of legal counsel. We offer a free initial consultation to anyone with a personal injury claim. If we take your case, we’ll only collect attorney fees on a contingency basis, as a percentage of any verdict or settlement you receive. We know from decades of experience that insurance companies and defense attorneys will try to make personal injury litigation more costly and time-consuming for you. We can anticipate those tactics and take appropriate steps to keep expenses under control. We make the Bailey & Galyen Platinum Card available to clients as a convenient way to pay for legal representation, and will set up a payment plan, if necessary.
Because of our vast experience successfully handling all types of personal injury claims, we understand the impact that someone else’s wrongful or careless act can have, often bring your life to a standstill. We will aggressively investigate the facts and circumstances of your case, traveling to the scene of the accident, if necessary. When appropriate, we will bring in expert witnesses, including accident reconstruction specialists, engineers, medical professionals, and financial experts, to present clear and compelling evidence of the causes and consequences of the accident.
Our attorneys will carefully gather and preserve the evidence to support your claim. We will also be staunch advocates for you in all proceedings, hearings or meetings related to your personal injury lawsuit.
In addition to our personal injury practice, we provide skilled and knowledgeable counsel in matters related to bankruptcy, immigration, estate planning and probate, oil and gas, criminal defense, family law and divorce, and business and corporate law. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will schedule an evening or weekend appointment, if necessary, and can come to the hospital or your home to meet with you. Our attorneys offer legal services in Spanish and English.
We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Bailey & Galyen Testimonials
I hope you’re doing well.
Judge Jerry Buckner
I appreciate you and Keith both!! Thank you for your patience and answering my loads of questions. It’s been a true pleasure working with you.
Thanks again!
Emily
I wanted to pass along the wonderful voicemail we got from the Law Firm Cobb & Martinez, defense counsel for Wal-Mart (this firm gets assigned some of the Wal-Mart cases and we work with them frequently), regarding Dana Edwards. They complimented Dana on how refreshing it was to work with her and to make sure we let the powers that be know how lucky we are to have an employee like Dana.
Thank you Dana for always going out of your way to show the B&G spirit. We appreciate you and your hard work.
Christina,
In speaking with Doug Wright today, he mentioned you (in a good way!). Looks like things are going well here at Family Court. Of course, I am being “cautiously optimistic”. Part of this warm-fuzzy feeling comes from your kind attention to the minute details that helped me to get where I needed to go. Again, thanks for your time and assistance expended on behalf of ‘just another client’.
Oh Happy Day!!! Thank you for your services. You are definitely on my referral list for anyone needing legal representation. Thank you and God Bless.
Jane,
Thank you for your superior representation today. It was clear to me that you have much experience behind you. And I felt as if you truly had my best interests in hand. Again, thank you for today. It truly means the world to me.
Hi Rodney.
I just wanted to know if my divorce was filed today as i am looking forward to ending my marriage as soon as possible. Again thank you so very much for all of your hard work on my case. I sincerely appreciate the time and care you took on my case as this has been a difficult time in my life, and not an easy decision to end my marriage of 17 years. I would highly recommended you and Bailey and Galyen to anyone else who is considering legal representation as one of the most top notch law firms in the Metroplex.
Thank you for all you do.
Hello Jane,
Thank you once again for your assistance and legal expertise while representing me in this matter. Darlene and I are very pleased with the results your efforts produced for our case. If I should hear of anyone in need of similar representation I will be most happy to refer them to you.
