...Many of Bailey's 1960s clients could pay him little or nothing. But, as he candidly concedes, their cases brought him other clients with substantial bank accounts. Bailey's fees are not as fat as some reports have suggested. In fact, his associates complain that the give-no-quarter Boston attorney gets embarrassed when it comes time to talk money with a client, so they usually do it for him. Bailey's firm has never charged a criminal defendant more than $200,000. One source close to the defense says the bill for the Hearst defense may not climb much...
During his halcyon years, Bailey's annual income was clearly healthy though?enough to satisfy his addiction to flight and gadgetry with such items as a twin-engine Turbo Commander turboprop and a Beechcraft. He also keeps a helicopter, built by his own company (Enstrom Corp. of Michigan), on his 78˝-acre spread in Marshfield, Mass., 30 miles south of Boston. His 17-room house there is equipped with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and nearly every form of 20th century electronic communication short of his own hot line to Moscow.

...early success, Bailey has been having a hard time in recent years. In fact, the Hearst case represents something of a comeback try for him, and he needs a convincing victory in Judge Carter's courtroom almost as badly as do Patty and the Hearsts.

The Government charged Bailey also made speeches endorsing investments in Turner's franchises. When the law came down on Turner for conspiracy to defraud investors, Bailey was indicted too. The evidence against Bailey was thin, but he had to abandon virtually everything else and spend $350,000 and two years fighting the charges, which were eventually dropped after an eight-month trial in Florida ended in a hung jury in 1974. Although Associate Johnson kept the Boston office open, the Bailey firm...
...Bailey's firm has come back since the Turner charges were dropped and is now operating in the black. His colleagues insist that he has mellowed somewhat since the Florida battle?and his subsequent marriage to his third wife Lynda, 28. He and British-born Lynda, a stewardess supervisor, met at a restaurant in Detroit, where Bailey was trying a case. When he first saw her she was sitting at a table with one of his associates reading a paperback novel. Bailey walked up to the table and grumped, "Forget that trash and read something worthwhile." He threw down...
