Excellent

My girlfriend and I are expecting our first baby, and I wanted to know what my parental rights were. I had gone for a consultation with Jay Baum, and he was very thorough and helpful in advising me. He might be rough around the edges, but he was extremely upfront and truthful with me on every questio...n I had. I would definitely hire him in the future, if needed, and I highly recommend him to any of my friends who are in the same situation. I appreciate all the help.

Divorce

Having the cards stacked against you from the beginning with an impossibly difficult adversary on the opposing end, Jay Baum was fair and did not bend when he felt I was getting the shaft. He fought for my rights as a father and I was comfortable with the outcome of my divorce. I would recommend Jay ...Baum in the future for Divorce, child support, visitation and custody.

Very Thorough & Knowledgable

Jay was fantastic and invaluable during my divorce and custody litigation. He helped explain the process, always responded to questions thoughtfully and promptly, and most importantly, he hands-down won. I got sole custody of my kids, which is not an easy task for a male in such a left-leaning stat...e as NY.

Very good attorney

Jay represented me in my divorce case and custody battle for my 2 children. I must say, I felt very comfortable with him and trusted him with the outcome of my case. Right from the start he assured me of certain realities in regards to my case that I was not sure of and the outcome was exactly what h...e said it would be. He was prompt in his responses, kept me very informed in what was going on and always steered me in the right direction. My divorce was settled in less than a year and I now have custody of my 2 children. I feel that Jay cared very much in regards to the best interest of my children and always went above and beyond to accomplish that goal. I am very satisfied with the job he has done and appreciate his hard work and efforts. He was very caring and will always do whats right for your children and you!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend him to anyone
