David Bailey

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Justice in the criminal justice system is only delivered when the courts and parties have all available information; only then can just and fair decisions come about. Whether in a civil matter or a criminal case, I ensure my client understands the bigger picture and how decisions may affect their case, property, family, and life. I further endeavor to anticipate how these decisions may impact others involved, including opposing parties, with an eye toward pragmatism. Taxes / Budget I am committed to running a fiscally responsible office that prioritizes public safety and the efficient administration of criminal justice. In private practice, costs are nearly always a concern for clients, as lawyers can be expensive and lawsuits even more so. A competent, effective advocate considers costs as a practical aspect of representation. Government lawyers, including the District Attorney, have an arguably higher duty to keep costs in mind since taxpayers foot the bill. Criminal Justice / Public Safety My experience in criminal defense, particularly with specialty courts, has led me to understand that true justice requires a discerning eye. While accountability often necessitates firm prosecution by the District Attorney, it also seeks opportunities where long-term public safety can be best achieved through structured rehabilitation and community supervision.
