Falynn Sara Baum’s Reviews

I was absolutely LOST when my husband filed for divorce. Falynn Baum came recommended by a family friend who works at another legal office. I met with her and she instantly made me feel comfortable and safe - like I could trust her and that she would do what's best for me. She told me what to expect during the divorce process and she advised me on what I should accept and not accept from my husband. We have two children and were married 18 years. I feel as though she absolutely did what was best for me and she gave me smart advice.

I had interviewed 5 Divorce attorneys before deciding I wanted MS. Baum to represent me. She was always there to answer questions or some times just to talk.

I found her and her assistant Kellie to be very professional and respectful. I would definitely recommend her again and again.

Unfortunately, after representing "myself" (pro per) in a custodial case that originated in 2001, I felt that it was in my best interest to retain an attorney and AVOID the additional undue stress.

My wife met with Ms Baum, and felt comfortable that she would look out for our best interest. Ms. Baum, however, only look out in the interest of her "pockets". After paying my retainer in full, the other party in my case was compelled to "come to an agreement" two days later. I negotiated and drafted up all relevant factors to the parenting agreement. Ms. Baum failed to timely produce a completed draft (causing me to lose out on 2 months of increased child support), and once obtained it was STILL incorrect and took additional time for them to correct even THAT for proper filing (mine you, "I" went to get the signatures from the other party & their attorney just to expedite the process on her behalf) .

For the amount of money paid, I would have been MUCH BETTER OFF with a competent paralegal for 10% of the cost. That's money that could have gone towards my children. Additionally, she failed to "confirm" details that would have been of benefit in a case like mine, instead giving the responding party "another chance". Now, I am forced to address these details as they deal with matters of non-compliance with the parenting agreement by the other party (something I knew would happen, thus they requirement of "confirming" all details in an parenting agreement to ensure the "children's best interest).

I previously represented MYSELF for 3 years against 4 DIFFERENT attorneys in this custody matter. At the end of that time, I obtained primary residential custody & final decision making while the Mother (the respondent) in this case received "supervised parenting time". I beleive my personal experience representing myself would have served me better than the level of service provided & cost charged by Ms. Baum. It would appear that I have spent more time on this matter ensuring my childrens & my best interest LONGER than Ms. Baum has been an practicing attorney.

Falynn and her assistant were very friendly and helpful. I was going though a rough time in my life, but they always helped me to see the brighter side. Falynn was always looking out for me and my childrens best interest and fought for us. She was aggressive but yet professional. I would strongly reccomend Falynn Baum to anyone who is looking for a lawyer and going through a divorce.

Mrs. Baum did a superb job in my divorce. She was very knowledgeable about divorce situations. And respectably prompt and courteous when responding. A polite woman to her clients, and in charge in the court room. I would definately hire Mrs. Baum again in a heartbeat. I recomend her to anyone for any case. Thank you Falynn. J.V.

Falynn was professional, diligent, and very personable when assisting me with my divorce. She answered all of my questions promptly by email. She was a pleasure to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her

Slow or no response. If you want an attorney then who truly understands your case, and will fight for you do not hire Ms. Baum. I advised her that I needed temporary orders filed immediately, but she waited at least 6 weeks before she filed. Hence, my financial situation became quite dire. In addition, when I would leave her voice mails or email her, I either did not get a response, or had to wait a week or 2 for a response.

I gave a serious attempt at representing myself in a divorce from a marriage of only 3 years. My husband went through two attorneys, the last tried to "eat my lunch". I pridefully gave in and requested Falynn rescue me. She did and then some! She was professional and thorough. I had complete confidence in her and as it turns out she helped me regain some of the confidence in myself. Falynn came in at the 11th hour riding a white horse and helped the court to understand my rather tricky legal situation, securring a judgment I hoped for, but didn't expect.

Where do I begin? Emails were never replied to, unless I phoned her assistant a few times.
We would agree to certain appointments during our meetings such as talking to the opposing counsel, preparing documents and such, but these were almost never executed by the lawyer in the time promised.
I had to repeat important details of the case at every meeting, as the lawyer does not seem to have an efficient note-making process.
She snapped at me several times for asking important questions, and there was a complete change in attitude between the first meeting and the rest of the case.

Falynn Baum was very professional and agressive. I hired her for my child support matter. She was ontop of deadlines as well as keeping me informed every step of my case. Falynn went over and beyond and I couldn't have had better representation. I was 100% satisifed with the outcome of my case, and I believe without Falynn as my attorney the outcome would have been completely different. I will recommend her services.

Ms. Baum kept me on track and focus to reach the final goal. She recused me from a situation that was costing me more money then necessary. I didn't end up during the judge judy thing. I have complete confidence in her as well as Kelly. I would and will recommend her anyone that needs help.

Falynn did a great job getting me through a tough situation. She kept me informed every step of the way.

Hiring this lawyer was a disastrous error. She filed the wrong documents with the court, the response times were never 1 day as was initially promised. She never prepared for meetings and conferences, and repeatedly missed out on crucial issues. She was very soft with the opposing counsel, very quiet at meetings and conferences. I lost out on even the issues that were completely in my favor.
Her paralegal steps in at times and gives sub-standard legal advice and messes up information.
If you are looking for simple document preparation and mail forwarding, this lawyer might work, otherwise do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a more established professional.

Falynn Baum was very knowledgeable, alsways kept me informed, always answered my questions in a timely manner. Made me feel real comfortable. I feel that she is very trustworthy and cares about her clients and there needs. I would recommend her to anybody and I would hire her again for any need of mine again. She is GREAT!

I had several instances where I would call the office to schedule appointments or gain information yet would never get a return call. I called the office two to three times a week and still never got a return call. Also she relies upon email to correspond information, and so asks for paperwork through emails, but when I sent it to her on four different occasions, she came to court saying she never recieved it. She has also messed up addressess and phone numbers at least twice, and has a very terrible communication ethic.

Great attorney... I looked into 5 others that treated my case poorly and just didn't care about me or my daughter. I always received a phone call back, emails were answered in a very timely manner, I always had every question answered. She is a very knowledgable, considerate, respectful professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a lawyer for child custody and/or child support.

Falynn is experienced, aggressive and works diligently to reach client goals. Her representation was key to achieving my case goals. Without her guidance, the outcome of my case would have been failure. Falynn listens with intent and was able to help me reach my case goal which impacts my life and the lives of my family. Consult with her once, and you'll know exactly what I know. She is a Powerhouse.

Falynn and I have been working together for the last year and a half dealing with my daughters mother in court. She has done nothing but the best work possible and kept me informed of every situation. From day one until post case when she has had to file petitions because of a lack of cooperation from my daughters mother. She has always stayed on top of my case.

When we me first met, I was told that all queries would be replied within 24 hours. Not only did this never happen, many of my significant inputs for the case were completely ignored which made me lose out heavily. This lawyer is quite inexperienced, and instead of offering sound advice and an aggressive approach, treated the case like an aloof observer. I had to repeat the same key issues over and over, and even then, they were not acted upon at all.
