Money!Money!

I hired Mr. Baron and he never finished my case. All he wants is money to adjourn and continue your case just to get funds. Once he sees you don't have enough money he withdrawals as your attorney. If you be a cash cow and lose your case then hire him.

Excellent Lawyer - Good Communication

Mr. Baron was recommended by my wife's cousin and I couldn't be more pleased with his representation and outcome of my court case. At our first meeting, he was patient and listened carefully to me and my explanation of what happened and reviewed my hyped up charges. Mr. Baron explained the law, the ...whole court process, and discussed possible outcomes. He did not make any promises and all decisions were mine to consider and decide in the end. Mr. Baron was professional and I was very pleased with how he presented my case in court. I was lucky to have him representing me when I knew very little about legal stuff and what to expect. I had a lot riding on this because my reputation and job could have been seriously impacted. Well my case went well (I don't want to give details) and I was so glad that I didn't go in that courtroom by myself. Overall I can't thank Mr. Baron enough. I thought writing this review is probably the best way I can express my appreciation, and also pay it forward to others who might need his help.

Highly Recommend

Attorney Baron is an amazing defense attorney. He carefully researched my case and was fully prepared to represent me. He was very well spoken in court. I highly recommend him and plan of referring him to anyone in need of an experienced attorney.

HORRIBLE

This lawyer will expect top dollar and you will get the maximum sentence for your alleged crime. He is speechless in court. He just sits there and accepts whatever they tell him. Am in disbelief at the outcome as is our family and other attorneys. If you hire him expect your money to be gone and you ...to still have the fees and fines above what the crime cost was. WARNING- He is terrible...save your money and represent yourself you will be better off. He should be a real estate or estate planning attorney he is NOT a criminal defense attorney.
