Very unhappy

I was very unhappy with the service I received by this attorney. After the retainer was taken, she never met with me or reviewed the discovery as promised. I went to court and had no idea what was going to happen. It turned out to be a nightmare and I had to seek other counsel that did a much better... job, met with me, went over discovery and charged less.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I first met Ms. Baginski when we worked together as PDs for the 6th Circuit. Ms. Baginski truly loves criminal defense work and it shows. Firsthand I observed Julia continuosly fighting for her clients no matter how big or small the case. Julia never backed down from a fight with the State Attorney's office and fearlessly went to trial when it served her client's cause. I've always respected Julia for aggressively protecting her clients rights and her immense dedication to the practice of law."

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.
