Mary Ann Shurley – General Manager Summit Office
Mary Ann Shurley, General Manager of the offices in Tarrant, Parker, Johnson & Harris Counties.
With an impressive 20-year tenure as a family law paralegal in Dallas County, Mary Ann Shurley embarked on a new chapter in her career when she joined Bailey & Galyen in September 2000. Specializing in Family Law, she found deep fulfillment in assisting clients during their most challenging times. Notably, during the period when Bailey & Galyen had an office on Hulen Street, Mary Ann’s compassion was so profound that clients went beyond simple words of appreciation, bringing office lunches, sending flowers, and sharing cookies.
Mary Ann’s journey within Bailey & Galyen is marked by notable achievements. Starting in Arlington, she transitioned to the Bedford Office in 2002. In 2004, her dedication earned her a promotion to Office Manager, responsible for overseeing the Hulen (now Burleson) Office. Further gratitude came in 2007 when she was appointed as Firm Paralegal Coordinator. The pinnacle of her career within the firm occurred in 2016 when Mary Ann was asked to take on the role of General Manager. Her enthusiasm for traveling to various offices and connecting with employees and attorneys reflects the joy she finds in her role. Although primarily located in the downtown Ft Worth Office in recent years, Mary Ann’s professional journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment and the diverse experiences she brings to her role.
