Joanne Baitup

Sends subpoena to the wrong place never advocated for me whatsoever wound up having to borrow money to get another attorney she works for the state not the client if you are considering her please think again only reason for 1 star is I can't go lower she really doesn't even deserve a rating as the m...ost awful rating would be a positive next to her

Miss Baitup was never available. When she did finally return a call I was given the excuse that she didnt have "the reports" available. Trying to discuss strategy was not in need of "the reports". I was told she only keeps office hours on Fridays? Every friday of me showing up to try to speak with he...r after weeks of no return calls... Doors locked! Left messages in her box and nothing. I hope that Porter County Juvenile center will take her off their roster of attorneys for defense of children. Worst experience! Sounds like from the previous comment that sadly my children and I are not the only ones with this experience.

She is appointed to me through the courts. She rarely returns my phone calls. When she does says she doesn't have much to talk about because she doesn't have a report. That doesn't mean that I don't have concerns or questions I need help with. Refuses to meet with me until right before court. I'm ver...y disappointed and wish she was more helpful. I'm hoping they can appoint me with someone who can actually help or do something.
