One of the most helpful lawyers I have ever met

I ran into a serious issue recently requiring legal assistance and was on a very limited time line. I initially contacted Ms. Baxter for assistance and left a message in her office. She reached out to me immediately and my first impression, after chatting with her for just a short amount of time, wa...s that I began to feel that Ms. Baxter truly cared about my circumstances. After providing Ms. Baxter with my details, she felt that I might be better served by providing a referral to a different lawyer whose scope of work was a better fit for me. However, rather than just pass me off and forget about me, Ms. Baxter continued to follow up with me to assist me and direct me along the process helping me to avoid any mistakes that I might make. I was amazed by the relationship that Ms. Baxter was quickly able to develop with me and the kindness and understanding she showed me during such a stressful time for me. I will definitely be utilizing Ms. Baxter's services, if needed, in the future and would highly recommend her to any others in need of legal assistance.

knowledgable

Working with this lawyer was a great experience after I had requested quotes from many others in the State of Michigan and Grand Rapids Area. She was so knowledgable that she was able to do alot of the work Pro-Bono; I know how that sounds, but seriously, her campassion and determination kicked in a...nd allowed her to navigate the system very efficiently. From the beginning I found Judith A. Baxter to be very trustworthy and an advocate for her clients to the full extent possible. On the phone she was really good at breaking things down to make sure I understood where we currently stood. Overall, her work in expungement was the best Christmas Present I could of ever asked for. I, John James Sakocius, would personally recommend her for your expungement cases.

Knows how to handle sçenero's

I called Me. Baxter seeking legal advice. If it's something she doesn't handle she can refer you out to the network of attorneys who can handle such cases. I'm very pleased with her advice.

Highly recommend

Judith Baxter has been a blessing for me and my family. Judith has been my attorney for the past two years. she has gone above and beyond for me during my hardship in dealing with family court. It was such a relief for me to know that Ms. Baxter always had my best interest at heart. I do not feel lik...e just another case number for Ms. Baxter. She is a very strong attorney and is quick to respond if you have concerns or questions. I will continue to have Ms. Baxter represent me for any other future court dates I may have.
