Martin S. Baum's Lawyer Endorsements
"I first met Marty when he tried and won a criminal case in the Oakland County Circuit Court. He did an unbelievable job representing his client and was able to win what looked like an impossible case. In 2003 he brought me in to assist him with the intoxication evidence in a high profile drunk driving causing death case. We tried the case together over a three week period and I was astonished at how hard Marty worked and how much he wanted to help our client any way he could. He was funny and smart and incredibly talented in the courtroom. Marty was and is an inspiration on how to prepare and try a case the “right” way."
