Bailey, Douglas W.
Bailey, Douglas W.
Douglas attended the University of Southern California in 2001, where he studied filmmaking and screenwriting. He worked in the film and television industry in Los Angeles until shortly before the birth of his second child. At that point, Doug and his family moved back home to Wyoming to pursue a career in law. Doug graduated at the top of his class from the University of Wyoming’s College of Law. Since joining the firm, he has secured millions in settlements for his clients, helping them on their road to recovery.
Doug is a partner at the firm, focusing his practice on Personal Injury and Wrongful Death. He advocates for individuals who have been injured and for families who have lost loved ones. Doug takes pride in fighting against insurance companies and other systems that routinely deny fair compensation to the injured. His role, in collaboration with EMTs, surgeons, physical therapists, and other professionals involved in the client’s recovery, is to help rebuild the client’s life. Doug maintains open communication with his clients, educates them about the legal process, and helps them coordinate their recovery with appropriate medical providers and specialists. Ultimately, he negotiates with insurance companies or goes to trial to secure compensation for his clients to cover necessary services, lost wages, medical fees, out-of-pocket expenses, and other significant but hard-to-quantify losses. Doug provides free consultations and only gets paid when he successfully obtains compensation for his clients.
Doug also has a niche practice in guardianship and adoption. He enjoys helping people build and strengthen their families and ensuring that elderly or disabled individuals have someone to manage their affairs and look after their well-being.
Doug is licensed to practice in State Courts in Wyoming and Colorado, Federal Courts in Wyoming, and the Shoshone and Arapaho Tribal Court of the Wind River Reservation. He is a member of the Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association and the American Bar Association. Over the past four years, Doug has been recognized by the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys as a Top Ten Personal Injury Attorney under the age of 40 in the State of Wyoming. For the past three years, he has also been recognized as a Rising Star by Mountain States Super Lawyers.
Doug is fluent in Russian, proficient in understanding Ukrainian, and hoping to become proficient in Spanish.
