Amazing Child support case!

I was very pleased with the outcome of the matter. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past and I felt that Falynn and her assistant Kellie were the best! They were very friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the law. I would recommend Falynn's firm to anyone I know that needs an excellent... family law attorney.

Great Attorney

Falynn is great to work with. Her sense of humor and wit help ease stressful situations. She is personable and responds quickly to communication. Falynn specializes in family law and is upfront and honest if your need/question is outside of her family law scope of service. She will not "yes" you ...simply to gain your business. Falynn is honest and ethical. I would recommend Falynn to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Slow or no response

Slow or no response. If you want an attorney then who truly understands your case, and will fight for you do not hire Ms. Baum. I advised her that I needed temporary orders filed immediately, but she waited at least 6 weeks before she filed. Hence, my financial situation became quite dire. In addi...tion, when I would leave her voice mails or email her, I either did not get a response, or had to wait a week or 2 for a response.

Watch out for this one…

She was retained through a 3rd party to handle my family law case. Once she received the payment, she went ghost and provided no updates on my case. There were several times I sent emails and received no response. When I emailed the paralegal, the paralegal added her to the emails and again, no respo...nse. On top of that, they waited too long to serve the other party and file the proof of service, which put my case on the docket for dismissal. $2,400 paid to have my case set for dismal because of the incompetence of the lawyer and her staff.

Replied last March 19, 2026

I was not hired as attorney of record. Client is aware. I was hired to draft and file. Payment goes directly third party NOT me. The scope of the services terminated upon filing the matter. Process service goes directly through the third party NOT me. I have not control on when or how the other party is served. It is not a negative inference when a case goes on the dismissal calendar. The court is simply waiting on the parties to direct the court to the next action after filing.

Felt Misled and Unsupported in a Safety-Related Custody Matter

retained this attorney through Valley Law Group to represent me in a family law custody matter involving serious concerns for my son’s safety and my own safety related to the child’s father. In a case of this nature, I expected strong advocacy, clear guidance, and a commitment to pursuing my stated g...oals. Unfortunately, that did not occur. From the beginning, I clearly expressed my concerns regarding safety and my desire to pursue relocation to protect my family. Over the course of more than a year, I felt I was repeatedly led to believe that these concerns and goals were being taken seriously, only for the case to ultimately end in a standard parenting plan. My priorities—particularly relocation for safety reasons—were not meaningfully pursued, and I did not feel adequately represented or advocated for. Communication throughout the case was consistently poor. Updates were delayed, responses often required multiple follow-ups, and expectations were not clearly managed. This lack of transparency was especially distressing given the emotional and high-stakes nature of a custody case involving safety concerns. I was also troubled by a lack of professionalism during interactions. At times, comments were made that were unrelated to my case and inappropriate in a professional setting. Additionally, I experienced what I perceived to be bias influenced by the attorney’s personal political views, which made me uncomfortable and raised concerns about impartiality in my representation. While the attorney appears to have general legal knowledge, the combination of inadequate communication, failure to pursue my stated objectives, blurred professional boundaries, and perceived bias significantly undermined my confidence in her representation. Between my experience with this attorney and Valley Law Group overall, it was an extremely disappointing and stressful experience. For a matter as serious as child custody and family safety, I believe clients deserve far better advocacy and professionalism than what I received.
