Compassionate and dedicated Lawyer that's Mike!

Mike, was a life saver, came into my grand daughter's case back in 2010. He works hard, and is diligent in his endeavor's, has his clients best interest throughout this long ordeal. But he never gave up, was always helpful and broke things down to be less complicated on how things were done, and what... all we can do. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing his expertise. He also became a friend as well as just an attorney. Thanks Mike, we so appreciate you!

Short Notice Representation

We found Mr. Baseluos to be an extremely principled attorney who engaged the prosecution and the Judge in an aggressive but highly professional manner, representing his client's interest without hesitation or question. He advised our son on what to reasonably expect based on the information provided.... His tireless efforts reduced the fines and required courses' costs by over $2000. Mr. baseluos took our son's case on less than one week's notice and was quick to respond to questions and coordinate actions with the county court. We would recommend Mr. Baseluos without hesitation. We will use Mr. Baseluos services in the future without question.

Agreement for sale of business

Mr Baseluos handled a conflict between the seller of a business venture and my buying it and later reselling it. The sales agreement drafted by the seller was very clear as to the terms of payment, but the seller interpreted the terms differently and decided to obtain legal consul to intimidate me i...nto agreeing with his interpretation. I never met Mr Baseluos face to face. Everything was conducted over e-mail, and I loved it. I thought this was great because it saved a lot of time for both of us. After evaluating the documentation in question (everything scanned and e-mailed) Mr Baseluos contacted the other party's lawyer and all was put to rest. He kept me abreast of his actions and what he would need to do next. Copies of correspondence between his office and the other lawyer's office were immediately e-mailed to me so I was never kept in the dark as to what was going on or how things were being handled. I highly recommend Mr Baseluos as a capable and very able attorney-at-law.

Professional

I first decided to use Mr. Baseluos based on the information on his website and was glad to see prior military service.I am not only a dependant wife of a retired Air Force Master Sergeant but I needed a lawyer that had experience with military medical records for my case. I have found Mr. Baseluos t...o be knowledgeable in his field and have appreciated his insight and instructions regarding my legal matter.My case specifically is not easy and involves a lot of research with medical records and small details,through his instructions and review of my records I feel that I am helping put together everything possible for the best outcome.Mr. Baseluos has continually kept me informed of any changes in my case and of any data that I may not have known to submit. Mr. Baseluos has been responsive to all of my questions and I am confident that he is the best person to represent my case.
