About

Bailey W. Mahoney is a domestic relations attorney who has been committed to assisting families going through dissolution of marriage and child-related cases since she first began law school at the University of Denver. During law school, Bailey gained extensive academic and practical experience in both family law and litigation. Bailey acquired a unique perspective on how judges handle the complexities of domestic cases while interning for the Honorable Angela R. Arkin in Douglas County District Court. She also clerked for the Honorable Dana Wakefield, a retired judge and court appointed Child and Family Investigator (CFI), where Bailey assisted in making recommendations to the Court regarding children involved in high conflict cases. During law school, Bailey also had the invaluable experience of clerking for the private family law firm Willoughby and Eckelberry LLC. In this role, Bailey established a strong foundation for the practice of family law while also being given the responsibility of managing numerous cases in the area of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) law. As a result, Bailey is experienced with matters involving gestational surrogacy agreements, egg and sperm donation, parental rights judgments, and second and stepparent adoptions.  Prior to beginning her legal career, Bailey received both her MBA and undergraduate degree in business from Oklahoma State University, during which, Bailey completed extensive coursework in finance and accounting. With this unique educational background, Bailey is exceptionally well suited to handle the financially complex issues that frequently arise in divorce and child-related cases, such as determination of income when a party is self-employed, business valuation, executive compensation, child support and equitable distribution in marital settlement agreements. In addition, Bailey has proven effective in the courtroom and excels in the area of written advocacy. Bailey is a passionate advocate with a dedication to assisting families and brings both practical experience and personal understanding to her practice. Bailey works diligently to obtain customized and cost-effective solutions for her clients and strongly believes in the importance of developing close professional attorney-client relationships.

Bailey is a fantastic attorney. I would highly recommend her as your divorce lawyer. She is thorough, extremely intelligent, and confident. Everything she said would happen in my situation, did, so in hindsight, there were no surprises; I was in good hands the entire time. If I need anything in the future, I will be calling her!

Bailey never gave up on my case. She was the reason I got my children back from a very troublesome divorce. Bailey is a professional and understands the law very well. I have learned a great deal from her and I trust her completely to hire all the aspects of my divorce.

I had spoken to several attorneys before hiring Bailey Mahoney to represent me in my Allocation of Parental Responsibilities and child support case. The other attorneys used the "guidelines" to explain why I shouldn't even bother to ask for more. I was told that since we were never married, I could only expect a small fraction of what my son and I had been living on since his birth. Bailey took the time to really listen to the facts of my case. She thought outside of the box and offered a fresh solution. I am forever grateful to her for the kindness and compassion she offered me. My case required knowing how to uncover and reveal hidden income from self-employment. Bailey's financial experience, fearlessness, and creative thinking was key to presenting a more accurate assessment of his assets. Throughout my case, the opposing party seemed intent on stirring up litigation (and fees). Bailey remained calm and levelheaded and was focused on reaching a fair agreement with the opposing party. Unfortunately, the other side persisted in drawing out the case, which necessitated going to court. In the courtroom, Bailey was simply and utterly awesome! Although she continued to work diligently to come to a fair agreement with the other side, they refused to settle. Her methodical approach at revealing his "untruths" was impressive. Ultimately, through Bailey’s tireless efforts, skill, and experience, I received a very favorable order from the court, awarding attorney's fees and an amount much greater than what the "guidelines" suggested.

Bailey Mahoney went out of her way on a last minute request to help my wife and I draw up and execute a prenuptial agreement. She was extremely thorough while still being efficient. She took the time to explain things, and did well in doing so. I know she crammed my request into her already busy schedule and we could not thank her enough. She truly is a one-of-a-kind in the profession. Thanks Bailey for being so great on all levels. Highly recommend.

Bailey has been an amazing attorney. I had to hire her to clean up the mess of my previous attorney. She has worked with my finical situation her firm is a understanding group. She responded in a timely matter, she listened to my needs and wants, she cared about my case and I felt she cared about myself and children. She was personal and warm. Unlike my previous attorney who was not very educated in law, She is very smart and knows the laws this is appreciated. She also respected my money unlike my previous attorney. She produced and worked for a positive result in my case. I would recommend her to any of my friends that where needing a family law attorney.

I hired Bailey after an extremely negative experience I had with a former lawyer/law firm who I fired. I was very weary of lawyers at that point, and had very little faith or trust in the profession. Bailey took my case and ALWAYS had my and my daughter's best interests at the forefront, even when I didn't. There was a point when I was ready to give up, give in and just let the case close early so we could all get on with our lives. I was exhausted and was about to act against my best interests. Bailey got me back on track and focused on what really matters, my daughter. She was responsive and considerate in all her communications with me. She worked very hard for me but also made me work and think by challenging me and asking tough questions, which I really appreciate. She is a smart, strong and also caring attorney who I recommend to anyone seeking a family law lawyer!
