Atlanta's Best Personal Injury Attorney

I refer everyone I know to Joel Baskin for personal injury cases and serious criminal defense. While his practice is busy, Joel takes a personal approach with each client. His staff provides prompt, professional, and friendly service. It is comforting to know that if I have an auto accident, fall,... etc. I won't have to search for an attorney - I just have to call Joel and his staff.

He will not disappoint!!!

Attorney Baskin was my personal injury attorney and he went above and beyond in handling my case. This was my first car accident but working with Mr. Baskin, the process was smooth from beginning to end. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and readily available to speak with his clients. I ha...ve already referred several clients to Mr. Baskin and I will continue to use Mr. Baskin in the future.

Joel was great, He wen't above and beyond! Thank you Joel and staff

I was involved in a terrible accident and I was refered to Joel. From the very first contact to the very end, Joel was always strait foward and very helpful. I am glad that I wen't to Him. You will not be dissappointed. He always kept me in the loop and took the time to explain everything to me. Than...ks again Joel!!!

Go to someone else!!

Dealing with this lawyer was one of the worst experiences in my life... First off he is connected to the chiropractor I went to in decatur (which I didn't find out until later)..then he never really kept in touch, I called him to get more info on what was going on with my case...before I signed up wi...th him I spoke with the law clerk, I asked how the lawyer would get paid & she stated he would get paid 1/3 after the bills where taken care of...that was not the case, when the settlement of $15,000 came, This lawyer took $5000 up front, knowing that my medical bills amounted to around $10,000...and when i confronted him on it he said that he reserves the right to take his cut before or after the bills where paid....(so in essence he screwed me)...Do not use him for auto accident claims he is not trustworthy & he has a smart mouth....so much so that my father & I almost cursed him out in his own office...Do not end up like me.. Find someone else...Do not be fooled by his office nor the first impression...Looks are most definitely decieving in this case!!!
