RUN AWAY

Be careful hiring Attorney Baum. All the 5 stars reviews are fake. Open up their profiles and you will understand. Like others mentioned in the REAL one-star reviews, he will ghost you. He was responsive and ‘nice’ until I paid him to handle a dispute with my HOA, which was supposed to include two h...ours of mediation. He sent three brief, poorly written emails and vanished. No updates, no follow-ups, no mediation.. I called and texted multiple times with no response. It has been two months since I hired him and I am in the dark with no updates whatsoever. The HOA no longer takes my dispute seriously since even my own attorney disappeared. Hiring him wasn’t just a waste—it was counter productive. AVOID HIM BY ALL MEANS.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
