Excellent Family Law Attorney

Carol Baskin is one of the most knowledgeable and pro-active family law practioner's in the state of Georgia. Whenever I run into contempt issues with my ex husband I know who to contact! I wish I used her for my divorce! She is thorough, no nonsense, and to the point. From what I gather, Judges like... her and listen to her!! Even opposing counsel enjoy working with her, as I was before I retained her. She is a lawyer's lawyer! Please call her today!

Great attorney

I hired Carol to represent me in divorce and post divorce matters.She is both professional and caring to her clients.I had a contempt case to enforce a stipulation in my divorce decree.Carol uncovered information that proved to be fraudulent on my ex in court.Without this i do not believe we would ha...ve received the outcome we got..The opposing counsel never knew what hit him!!She is a straight shooter and her knowledge of the law is amazing!!If you are looking for representation on family issues you will be hard pressed to find any better than Carol!!

Don't walk or run the other direction, but sprint like you're in the Olympics

I hired Ms. Baskin for an uncontested motion and order. After submitting the required information, her office prepared a 2-page legal document for my signature. The document included several typographical and grammatical errors, including errors in my name. I reviewed and marked corrections before re...turning it for revision. Upon receiving the revised document, some mistakes remained, which was sent back for further correction. I was billed for two rounds of corrections, and Ms. Baskin stated that “we are all human and make mistakes.” This led to questions about whether clients should pay additional fees for correcting spelling and grammar. After the case ended, I requested the return of the unspent balance of my retainer. This request was declined based on contractual terms. When I indicated that I did not recall signing a contract, Ms. Baskin maintained that one had been signed. Upon request for a copy, she later confirmed in writing that no contract had been signed but still declined to refund the money. I consulted the State Bar, which identified the matter as a fee dispute and suggested arbitration. The Arbitration Board then determined that the disputed amount was below their minimum threshold for involvement, set at approximately $1,000. Ironically, while preparing documentation for the State Bar and Arbitration Board, I noticed that the Final Order signed by the Judge contained an error: the date referenced was incorrect and should have been nine years earlier. Furthermore, there is at least one other online platform hosting attorney reviews that do not seem to appear in standard web searches; with further research, this one site can be found and offers client accounts of their experiences with attorneys.

Horrible attorney

I hired Carol for a simple modification, that she’s kept on going for over a year, after taking my money she then withdrew from the case.

Replied last March 10, 2020

Attorneys do not lightly withdraw from representing a client. It is done only if it is considered to be the best direction for both client and attorney and when there is a total breakdown of communication. I certainly wish this client well and hope that he achieves everything he is seeking as an outcome in his litigation. Unfortunately, sometimes it is difficult for a client to understand that if you start litigation the other side might just counterclaim, which must be addressed, as well as, the case in chief. A desire to disregard discovery requests can prove to be very detrimental to the ultimate outcome and it is evident that a new opinion might help to resolve the problem. I know the client is in good hands with his new counsel and wish him all the best.

Run for your life

OMG..!!! Carol Baskin will turn what will be an amicable divorce into a world war. My ex and I began the divorcing process with a decent attitude about our separation. BY the time Baskin got finished we were fighting over everything in endless litigation. Worst part is, we had nothing to fight ove...r... The divorce took 4 years while the marriage was only 1.5 months.. He bill ended up being 38,000. And she loves to charge interest. Check her out on the Court Calendar in Fulton and Cobb. She will sue you for not being able to pay what she charges you. RUN!!!!! She will destroy you entire chance of developing any type reasonable family structure. It's all about the money to this nasty lady...
