Rick Baum guided us through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and we felt supported every step of the way. Our first consult was a year before we actually filed; we thought we could "do it on our own" and when that effort was obviously not yielding substantial inroads into our debt, we went back and started t...

Rick Baum was excellent from start to finish of a 5-year bankruptcy; from helping us to fully appreciate the tradeoffs of this versus other courses of action, through the mechanics of the initial filing and intermittent formalities along the way, to the final close of the case with the Trustee. We c...

Rick has represented me multiple times over the past 6 years. He has successfully negotiated favorable results (on multiple occasions) with an extremely unreasonable and difficult opposing counsel regarding a bankruptcy litigation case. Rick is both patient and knowledgable and a master negotiator. ...

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Rick Baum sets the standard for excellence. We have worked together on many complex matters. Rick has keen insight and a clear, long-view. He has help bring many difficult and contentious matters to resolution. He is my go-to co-counsel for all bankruptcy and debt matters."
"We are a very, busy personal injury law firm with multiple locations and 16 employees. Whenever we have a bankruptcy case to refer out, we always refer the client to Richard, our trustworthy and reliable bankruptcy expert. We know that when we refer a client to Mr. Baum, that the client will always be provided high-quality, legal representation from an honest and ethical bankruptcy lawyer, at a price they can afford. All of our clients have been consistently satisfied with Mr. Baum's work."
"I cannot recommend Rick highly enough. His grasp of the bankruptcy code, and ability to implement it is unparalleled. He was recently able to convince a judge to make a finding that a bankruptcy had been filed in bad faith, to avoid a state court trial. The bankruptcy filing was made the day before trial was scheduled to start. You cannot go wrong in calling Rick to help you with any bankruptcy related matters."
"Great attorney, great person, and a great uncle. There's is no one more qualified than Mr Baum to vigilantly and aggressively pursue his client's interests going through the often difficult process of bankruptcy. I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"While being Rick's brother-in-law may result in some bias, being married to his younger sister means I also hear the offsetting childhood war stories. So, in the end it all balances out. But related or not, Rick is an outstanding attorney, to whom I (and his little sister, my wife and law partner) refer without hesitation all complex Los Angeles area bankruptcy cases. Rick is sharp, intellectually curious and honest, and hardworking. His commitment to his clients and their cases is unquestionable. He enjoys the respect of his peers and, most importantly, those judges before whom he appears. If high intellect, unquestioned ethics, and hard work are qualities you are seeking, Rick is the easy choice."
"Rick Baum is dedicated to his clients and has a broad range of experience in the business, asset-protection and bankruptcy arenas. His litigation skills are well honed. Rick is someone I would hire personally. Jane B. Hall"
