Jae park

This is my first time having to hire a lawyer to help with my case. Ive had 2 failure to appear and it was a mandatory court appearance needed. I was already relocated in a different state and i couldnt go out there. So i hired alan because he specialized in that area and he was located in the same ...city n county that i had my tickets for. We only spoke on the phone few times n spoke over email and he was superb! He absolutely knew what i needed and helped me out to the best deal possible! I would reccommend alan to ANYONE thay needs a lawyer in birmingham, AL area. He was very professional, nice, considerate of my situation. He was the best lawyer hands down! Thank u alan

Excellent Attorney

Hiring an attorney was a new experience for me, but I can say that Mr. Baty was exceptional. He kept me informed through email, phone, and text messages and also met with me when necessary. He is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable in his field. He also won our case. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Baty Gets Amazing Result

I have hired Mr. Baty twice. In both occasions Mr. Baty was able to obtain amazing results. In one case, because of his familiarity with the local Judge, he was able get my driver's licence suspension removed within 24 hours. I can not recommend him more highly.

Very good lawyer!

He took care of my case without any problems at all. Very calm and knowledgeable. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Baty to anyone.

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.
