    • I do not recommend Jay Baum.
    • Jay handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    He is rude, unpleasant, sarcastic; he will do whatever necessary, whether moral or not to support his claims and supposedly assist his client. Although knowledgeable and experienced, he has an annoying, almost laughable approach in court and is not well respected, I have found, among his peers. Stay away!

  2. TAKES YOU FOR A RIDE WITH YOUR MNEY

    • I hired Jay more than 3 years ago.
    • Jay handled my Domestic Violence matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER, HE PRETENDS TO BE YOUR FRIEND, BUT AS HE TALKS TO YOU LIKE HE IS YOUR FATHER, HE IS CHARGING YOU FOR EVERY WORD...HE GIVES YOU A RETAINER THAT IT WOULD TAKES MONTHS TO GO OVER, AND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO SIGN IT, OR HE WON'T TAKE YOUR CASE...THEN HE ONLY DOES A SMALL PORTION OF THE JOB, AND HE WANTS YOU TO DO THE REST.....

    • I do not recommend Jay Baum.
    • I hired Jay 6-12 months ago.
    • Jay handled my Divorce / Separation matter.

    he kept my financials for 5 weeks, only did 1/2 of them, and then wanted me to complete them, charging me hundreds of dollars, went on vacation with financials, said divorce would take weeks, but in 17 days, used up 1/2 of retainer

    • I do not recommend Jay Baum.
    • I hired Jay 1-3 years ago.
    • Jay handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    Did not represent me and i should have won. Did not act due diligently and his delays cost me a lot of money. Conflict of Interest.

    This Lawyer, charged for everything and was unresponsive to my concerns and kept saying dont worry, now i'm paying for it through the nose, my ex is getting away with paying late, im stuck with lawyers fees, he was just horrible, i cant go on anymore.
