Kari Ann Baumgart

Ms. Baumgart was engaged to represent me in a child custody issue. Wow, what a horrible mistake. Her fees were ridiculous and so was her representation. She made several mistakes on each of her filings and was unprepared for court. And if you need to talk to her, plan on NEVER getting a returned phon...e call. I personally think she should try another occupation. I would only recommend her to someone that wants to lose a case.

Kari represented me in a contract negotiation and gave very poor advice. She was impossible to get in touch with and would not return any calls. She fabricated reasons why I could not deal with her staff. She has a grossly over inflated estimation of the value of her services and seems to rely on bo...ilerplate documents to work with her clients. She is very charming and will promise you the moon when you begin working with her and then will deliver zero results. If you question her she will invent a reason to be angry and stop communication.

Kari is useless, over priced, incompetent, and unreliable. A simple divorce took almost 3 years. I ultimately had to fire her and hire another attorney just to get the job done, costing me tens of thousands of dollars. She hurt me more than helped me, enabling my spouse to get more money in the se...ttlement than is customary. Her license should be revoked.

My opinion is she is grossly overpriced. I feel she is tempermental and unknowledgeable of many aspects of law. She has gone many months without returning phone calls, and Is apparently unable to hold onto paralegals for extended periods of time. I think she is greedy and avoids explaining what all t...he charges are for and did not have my best interests first and foremost. My simple case that should have been concluded in a few months turned into a 2 1/2 year long money pit that will take me years to recover from. In my case she did me much more damage than good and I feel that she gives bad attorneys a bad name.
