Dick Bailey Service

What Dick Bailey Service does

Dick Bailey Service is a privately held, family-owned appellate printing and paralegal support company headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1966 by Dick Bailey, the company provides specialized document preparation, formatting, printing, and electronic filing services for attorneys handling appeals in New York State appellate courts (all four Appellate Divisions and the Court of Appeals), federal Circuit Courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Currently in its fourth generation of Bailey family ownership and led by CEO Bill Bailey, the company has filed over 100,000 appeals across its nearly 60-year history and operates with a team of 1–10 employees that includes dedicated account managers, paralegals, an intake coordinator, and a business development representative.

The company's offering is a single integrated service rather than a multi-product platform. It relies on standard court e-filing systems (NYSCEF, TrueFiling, PACER) and on the procedural expertise of its staff to manage the end-to-end appellate workflow, including record preparation, brief formatting, deadline tracking, digital proofs, and electronic submission. No proprietary technology platform or software product has been disclosed. Supporting resources include due date calculators for each New York appellate department, downloadable court forms, and an educational blog targeting attorneys researching appellate procedure.

Dick Bailey Service generates revenue through custom-quoted, project-based pricing on each appellate filing engagement, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. Sales and onboarding occur via a toll-free phone line (1-800-531-2028), email, and an online estimate request form, after which a dedicated account manager serves as the single point of contact throughout the engagement. The customer base consists of law firms and solo practitioners across New York and federal courts, with testimonials documenting multi-decade relationships (35+ years, 25+ years, 40+ years) with firms including William Schwitzer & Associates, Sacco & Fillas LLP, Welby Brady & Greenblatt LLP, and Levy & Borukh PLLC. The company has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition history.

Core offering

Dick Bailey Service provides appellate document preparation, formatting, printing, and electronic court filing services for attorneys and law firms. The company handles records on appeal, appellate briefs, motions, appendices, and cert petitions across all New York State Appellate Divisions, the New York Court of Appeals, federal circuit courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Each client is assigned a dedicated account manager who manages the full filing workflow, including e-filing via NYSCEF, TrueFiling, and PACER, along with deadline tracking and compliance with court-specific formatting rules.

Product overview

Dick Bailey Service operates as a single, unified service offering — appellate printing and paralegal support for attorneys. Their core service encompasses the complete appellate filing workflow: document preparation (records on appeal, briefs, motions, appendices, cert petitions), formatting to court-specific standards, printing, and filing with deadline tracking across all New York State Appellate Divisions (First through Fourth Departments), the New York Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit Courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. The service is delivered through dedicated account managers who provide hands-on support, manage electronic filing across major court e-filing platforms (NYSCEF, TrueFiling, PACER), and offer consultation on appellate procedures. Supporting resources include due date calculators for state appellate courts, downloadable court forms, a knowledge hub/blog with explanatory content, and FAQ tools. No distinct product names, modules, or sub-brands are assigned — the company presents one integrated service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.
