History
On January 3, 2000, starting from scratch, Adam Leitman Bailey opened the doors to the firm bearing his name. Bartering a small law office in exchange for providing legal services for his landlord, Bailey pledged to become the best law firm in New York 1) by only taking on business where he believed he was possibly the best lawyer for the case or deal and 2) by creating a level of client service surpassing that of all other law firms. Less than a year after opening its doors, Adam Leitman Bailey's firm hired its first employee, Nancy Fernandez, who today is the firm's Chief Paralegal. One year later, John Desiderio joined the firm as counsel, thus moving the institution from a man with a desk to a law firm with a multi-talented staff. By providing the highest possible legal service at the most reasonable possible cost, sixteen years later the firm has expanded to 23 attorneys and 34 employees including some of the most renowned names in the industry.
