Bruce A. Baughman

It was a very frustrating, offensive time that I paid this guy to be rude to me. He was ill informed every time we went to court, never had paperwork. The opposing attorney walked all over him and his response was to call me stupid and other names. Big waste of money and time, during a time I had... neither to lose. His office staff seems scared of him, they constantly lose emails and paperwork and aren't up with technology that may help them be more organized.

Bruce would not take my case unless I left Iraq and appeared in his office. When I did get a chance to leave he did not even remember who I was or anything about my case. He is very condescending so he treats you as if you are a child or really stupid and any question that you ask him is beneath him ...to answer. On April 30, 2009 I had court Mr. Baughman decided to go say hi to his buddies in other courts and asked me to tag along. I had no ideal why he ask me or why we were going to diffent floors but when we return back to my court where I was suppose to be he almost got the case thrown out because we were running late. After court was over my parents had question as did I but I guess he found my mom to be the most annoying and asked my dad and I if he could curse out my mother. I stood in shock an aw. Is he a good lawyer? NO. Will he do you right? Just as along as you keep giving him money.

From the moment I gave Him his retainer I regretted hiring him but it was too late. The second appt. I made with him to discuss questions that I had I was greeted in a Hostile manner. Every question was answered in a condescending manner and I was made to feel totally incompetent because I didn't un...derstand legal terminology. When I questioned the billing He asked me if "I could add?" Throughout the course of the case there was absolutely no contact from His office other than sending bills. Whenever his office sent copies of legal papers, there would be no explanation as to what the paperwork meant or what He recommended. When I called His office I was told they were busy and they would call me back. I would not get a return call. Things got really ugly towards the end when He scheduled court and didn't inform me. A second court date was scheduled to finalize paperwork. He showed up 3 1/2 hours late! Because of this there could no longer be another rescheduling without having to go to trial! Long story short, He withdrew as Counsel days before our case was due to court. I had to hire another attorney at the very last minute to represent me. Wonder how many people He has done and will continue doing this to in the future?
