Money Hungry

He seemed good at beginning (a divorce case) but into it..he just took my money and didn't fight for me nor advised me correctly. He got very annoyed when I. question him and bottom line is he is only interested in money....he cost me my future and never would recommend this guy.

Thank you

I reached out to Mr. Baer with a tricky family case. He handled it with understanding and legal expertise. His ability to address the case in it multiple levels allowed me to get a resolve without having to go through a hearing with another family member. He gave me the peace of mind when I needed i...t most. I am grateful for his services and clear ability to negotiate extremely Complicated matters.

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 le...ading 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 escalat...e 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.
