Life saver!

I’m a person who does not like conflict. Because of this, thank goodness I haven't gotten nor plan to get into any issues that are legal related. But an ex boyfriend, who is very toxic and manipulative filed a complaint against me for some type of “electronic contact” from many months ago. In f...act, though, he would be calling me from blocked numbers yet I would reply in emails. I reached out to David late Friday night right when I got the letter... Left him a message. . We spoke Saturday about this letter I received in the mail for the phone hearing with the Los Angeles hearing officer that was due to be on Monday. (The letter was dated from weeks ago. I only got my mail from the mailbox that night) David shared with me his extensive experience in hearings like these which eased my mind. He spoke and gave me lots of knowledge about what this type of hearing is so I felt much more prepared and comfortable: He was on the phone with me during the hearing which was very reassuring and went smoothly! The complaint was dismissed right away on the phone during the hearing! Knowledge IS power! Super thankful for David’s support He’s very easy to speak to, great listener with awesome feedback, empathetic, as well as cool, calm and collected!

Excellent Legal Representation

I hired David Baum on a sensitive and stressful court case involving a restraining order filed by our neighbor. From the very beginning, David was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough in his approach. David took the time to understand the nuances of our situation, offering clear ...guidance and expert advice on how to proceed. He was always responsive to our questions and concerns, making sure we felt supported throughout the entire process. In court, David’s preparation and skill were evident. He presented our case with confidence and clarity, ensuring that our side of the story was communicated effectively. His ability to navigate complex legal arguments while maintaining a calm demeanor helped us feel reassured during what could have been an overwhelming experience. Thanks to David’s expertise, we were able to address the matter successfully and move forward. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and capable attorney. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart.

This is the attorney who I should've went with

To put it short out of all the attorneys I consulted with David was the only one who gave me the cut and dry straight forward answer in how to best handle my case unfortunately I went along with the majority ideas and I really should've hired David because if I had I wouldn't have done any jail time... or plea bargaining which led to lots of money, classes, community labor, probation for years after. David got it right with the information I gave when I told my side of the story.

Excellent Choice!

David is one of the most intelligent, caring, attentive, and responsive professionals that I’ve ever met in this industry. You would be lucky to have the opportunity to do business with him. He was patient with us and communicated clearly and directly with the management company. He acted with integ...rity and in a few short months my daughter was relieved of over 90% of the financial responsibility. Her credit was restored and she is now free from the stress of debt and harassment by creditors. I highly recommend Baum Law. This will be a decision that you will look back on and be happy that you made!
