Exceeding My Expectations By Far!
Hiring appropriate counsel for family matters can be an extremely intimidating & daunting task. Last year, my husband & I were saddled with said task due to an inevitable court battle. This would be my first experience going to court and to say I was fearful would be an understatement. The unavoidable reality was that this court ruling could & would change the trajectory of my daughter’s and subsequently, my life. My husband suggested we meet with the associates at Baer Romain & Ginty. So I set up an interview to see whether this firm was right for us. My initial conversation was with Jennifer Hulnick. She was a straight shooter, which I really appreciated. She told me the reality of the situation and not want I wanted to hear. She was also punctual, understanding, very informative and knowledgeable about the law. We had plans to move forward with her as our counsel but due to scheduling conflicts, Stephen Baer ultimately represented my husband & I in our upcoming court case. I met Stephen the morning of our first court hearing. Although we didn’t have time to meet in person prior to this, he made sure I was ready for the proceedings via phone & email. That first meeting marked the beginning of our client-attorney relationship that lasted several months. During this period, I found Stephen to be beyond thorough, courteous and attentive. He made sure I was fully prepared for all court matters, executed our paperwork thoroughly & without error, he was timely every time and helped me to understand every aspect of our case. Stephen was always available to me and rarely missed my calls but if he did, he would call me back that same day. Stephen’s attitude and his years as an experienced attorney helped give me confidence as I walked with my husband and daughter through unfamiliar territory. I knew my family was in good hands with Stephen as our attorney. Our court case was settled quickly and we were granted everything we wanted and more. My satisfaction with this experience is beyond anything I could have imagined. I recall crying uncontrollably the day I had to make the call to Baer Romain & Ginty because I didn’t know what the future would hold. On the day of our ruling, I remember smiling so hard my cheeks hurt and taking a picture in Stephen’s office that is displayed proudly in our home. I would choose this law office every time my family & I need counsel. They truly care and have the best interest of their clients at heart.

Grateful Client
I cannot adequately express my appreciation for Mr. Baer and his professional expertise. He recently helped me navigate a legal situation with his honesty, fairness and confidence. His calm demeanor during our initial meeting put me at ease as I placed my case in his hands. During the process leading up to a District Court hearing, he promptly returned my phone calls and guided me as we navigated the system together. My case ended successfully in a not guilty verdict. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Baer to anyone in need of legal representation. He truly cares about his clients and worked diligently for me to secure the result mentioned above.

Thank you Steven Baer and team!
I got through a difficult situation as unscathed as possible - because of Steven Baer and his team. They are just on their game, were responsive, empathic in handling the nature of my situation. They helped me navigate and complete any court requests and told me what to do to definitely not escalate the situation. I am now back on track. I will always be grateful to Mr. Baer for his transparent, truthful nature and provided plain explanations of the court system lexicon.

Mother's estate
I would like to take a minute and say that Stephen Baer was just wonderful. He assisted my sister and myself in taking care of my mother's estate. Stephen guided us through all of the legal requirements in settling the estate. His knowledge and advise was very valuable for us. His attention to detail made sure that all of the requirements were take care of. He also had concern and feeling for my sister and I during this difficult period. Also, all of his associates and staff that I came in contact with were also helpful and kind. His skills and demeaner made this difficult time less difficult. I would highly recommend him for any type of services.

SPEEDY AND FAIR
Hats off to Mr. Baer! I just wanted to thank you for your speedy and very fair verdict. In my whole 5.5 year divorce process, you are the only one that has actually made a clear, decisive decision fast and decisively. I can't say enough positive things about how you mediated it professionally and quickly. In a world of lawyers trying to drag things out, I appreciated your honesty and ability to move quickly. Thank you.

A Confident, Caring, and Professional Lawyer
I had an incident and for the first time had to go to court and testify. I found Steve through a recommendation from a friend and am so grateful I did! From the very beginning, Steve was willing to speak with me on the phone or e-mail, answer any questions that came up, and even met me prior to our court appearance and bought me breakfast at a nearby diner! I was so nervous on that day, and Steve's confidence, good humor, and preparation made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a lawyer you can rely on to be knowledgable, warm, and a great communicator.
