The entire Baratta, Russel & Baratta team is awesome! I highly recommend Mr. Baratta (Tony). Not only did he fight his hardest to ensure the best possible outcome for me, he also explained every step thoroughly in order for me to understand and make the process a learning experience. The teams professionalism and attention to detail made me feel incredibly confident to have them represent me. Thanks so much BR&B, you guys really are the best!
When reviewing an attorney, i would consider three items.
knowledge, experience and personality. Each of these qualities are extremely important and should be considered. Tony exceeds each category and his demeanor is exemplary not only in his office but also in court. I would not be surprised if other attorneys would consult Tony for support.

Willing to go the extra mile!
My husband was injured at work and subsequently went through multiple surgeries, with an outcome of permanent damage. From the initial consultation, to being a client, and the eventual settlement, Mr. Baratta was attentive, compassionate, and willing to fight for justice. He, along with his office staff; went above and beyond to help our case. They were always ready with encouragement and a kind word, and willing to help in any way possible. We are forever grateful to Anthony Baratta and his team.

Achieves great results!
I would absolutely recommend Tony Baratta. Tony is an excellent, and dedicated attorney. He was able to successfully represent me for a sensitive matter, over the span of four years. Tony was there and took his time addressing any of my concerns, he was excellent with communication. His assistants/staff are kind and make you feel comfortable. Tony is passionate and was well prepared for our trial. His presentation was well organized and professionally orchestrated. He even ventured far out to meet an expert witness due to a snow emergency. If Tony takes your case, it’s safe to say, you are in good hands. I am beyond pleased to have had his assistance.

The ultimate professional!
I fell at work and broke my ribs. My hospital bills were not paid by my employer. Actually I don't even think my employer had insurance. At the end of my consultation with Anthony "Tony" Baratta, I knew I was in the best hands. Even though medical bills were piling up , Tony knew exactly what to die and assured me justice as well as the full payment of all my medical bills. He and his staff are curteous, and attentive as well as being EXPERTS in their field! After a very short time, with Tony performing all of the research and due diligence regarding my case, he and his team got all of my medical bills paid giving me peace of mind. I highly recommend Tony Baratta if you are ever the victim of the negligence of another. He'll fight for you And win as he did for me.

THE BEST OF THE BEST!!
Tony successfully represented my mother year's ago in a car accident. The settlement Tony helped to negotiate for my mother and our family was above anything we could have ever imagined. When I came into trouble and needed legal representation, I called Tony right away. Of course he was there for me and completely invested himself. He was always available for me day or night with many conversations well into the late evening hours. He completely blew me away with his dedication to my situation. It was amazing having someone in my corner that would go to battle for me and having complete faith in him that he's the best of the best, the smartest of the smart. In the end, he negotiated and amazing settlement for our family much quicker than I had imagined. We would 101% use him again should the need arise and would recommend him a million times over!! Our family thanks you, Tony!!

What a great job!
Our attorney, Anthony, "Tony" Baratta, was asked on our behalf to step in against a landlord who was holding back our security deposit after we moved out of a house we had rented for two years The reason was without cause. Tony was able to get back our full security deposit in a quick manner. Thanks Tony!

Professional Excellence
Tony Baratta and his staff are a cut above the rest! I especially like Tony's secretary Diana she is super helpful. Tony worked on a med mal case for me and was a constant source of support during an extremely stressful time for myself and my family. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney. He is not only highly educated, skilled and extremely professional, he is refreshingly honest and he always responds immediately and personally to you no matter what your needs are. Tony is not only an excellent attorney he is a truly descent human being who works diligently for his clients. I give him the highest rating! If you find yourself in need of an attorney or if you are having difficulty with the attorney you have call Anthony Baratta.

Excellent service
i fell on ice, broke my leg in several places and needed surgery. I knew that my bills were going to be significant and I needed an attorney. My brother highly recommended Anthony Baratta. I'm really glad that he did. Tony and his staff were courteous, professional, and easy to reach. I knew that I was in good hands when an attorney from the firm came out to interview me the same day that I called. Tony followed up with experts in various fields and had a solid case to present for court. Fortunately, he was able to negotiate a fair settlement prior to court. I'm very pleased at the amount of communication that Tony had with me, keeping me informed every step of the way. I was more than satisfied with the entire staff at the firm and I can't say enough about Tony!

PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS TEAM
I give Tony Baratta 5 stars. He did an exceptional job handling my MVA case. It was not your ordinary accident case. I had two accidents a year apart and Tony worked extra hard to outline an understanding of my case. Tony put a lot of time and extra hard work into my case and the outcome was favorable. He knows what he is doing and doesn't stop until he accomplishes what needs to be done. I was always kept informed with emails and letters and every time I called I was treated with courtesy and my questions were always answered. I have dealt with other lawyers in the past and they just don't compare to Tony. He is a very knowledgable and experienced attorney. His office team are the best. They are friendly and actually really care about the client. If I ever need a lawyer in the future to represent me it definitely would be Tony Baratta. I highly recommend this law firm. They are the BEST!

Review of Services
Tony represented our daughter. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, thorough, patient, caring and sensitive to her needs during what was a very difficult situation and time for her. He kept us informed and explained each situation until he was sure we fully understood each step of the process.
I would not hesitate to utilize his services again should the need arise nor would I hesitate to recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Justice For All
Anthony J. Baratta and the staff at Baratta, Russell and Baratta were professional, helpful and friendly. Everyone was responsive and knowledgeable. My phone calls and e-mails were always answered quickly. Tony was available whenever I needed to speak to him. He took what I thought was a complicated situation, and helped me get a better understanding of what my rights were. He made it possible for me to obtain the surgery I needed, and I am finally on the road to recovery. I knew from the first time I spoke to him that I was in good hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his firm to others.

Back to work!
I am a health care professional who was injured on the job in 2011. After 2 yrs of working everyday at the hospital, enduring horrific back and shoulder pain, too many misdiagnoses and 7 epidurals to relieve the pain, I was referred to a physician in KY for surgery. The major health care system I worked for refused to pay for my surgery - to re-attach the muscles torn off my shoulder blade, caused by lifting a patient after heart surgery.That's when Tony stepped in....he was kind, explained the laws and what to expect. It relieved my anxiety to have such a knowledgeable and caring person take over all the worries of dealing with the hospital and WC. We had to sue the hospital/WC....8 months later I had my surgery in KY (after winning the suit!) . I am pain-free and back to work....I have my life back and am truly grateful to Tony Baratta!!!

Tony was recommended to my wife and I by another Attorney to possibly represent us as we were involved in a MVA in June 2012. Our case was just settled by Tony and we are extremely relieved to put this entire difficult process behind us. We feel VERY fortunate that Tony represented us !!! He is extremely professional, caring, diligent, very informative and a TRUE Gentleman. I find this quality to be unusual in the legal profession today based on my prior experience in dealing with other Attorneys. His approach to this entire process was very thorough and at no time did my wife and I feel that we were an imposition to either Tony or his entire staff of associates. We would recommend Tony to anyone who had need of an outstanding Attorney and a True Renaissance Man.
