Christopher James Baum's Lawyer Endorsements
"I had the honor of working for Chris Baum when I was in law school as an intern. He taught me a great deal about civil litigation. Since I have begun practicing law I've worked with Mr. Baum on several matters and his professionalism, work ethic, and legal knowledge is absolutely amazing. I regularly refer cases to him. I can endorse Chris Baum without any reservation. He is a great attorney."
"I've worked with Chris and his partner,Tom Bailey, on a number of matters since they formed Baum & Bailey, and have refereed cases to Chris and Tom as well. Chris is an exceptional young lawyer; don't be fooled by the number of years he's been practising--Chris more than holds his own with lawyers who've been admitted to the bar two and three times longer than he. He's spent his career "on the ground" and he combines this experience with his previous business experience, intelligence, common sense, willingness to learn and to take risks, and a toughness desire to win. Chris is a pleasure to work with and an excellent litigtor with extensive knowledge of, in particular, bankruptcy law and landlord tenant law. And he's a quick study when dealing with new issues."
