June marked the beginning of my 50th year as a criminal defense attorney. It seems like only yesterday that I started my career as a deputy probation officer and was going to law school at the same time. As I look through all my many memories and experiences one feeling surpases all others--I have always loved what I do and I still do. Helping people in trouble has always given me great satisfaction, and I think it shows in the results I have been able to achieve. I'm especially proud of my certification as a Criminal Law Specialist by the California State Bar and having been twice selected by Los Angeles Magazine as a "Super Lawyer".

Alan turned a possible lengthy sentence to an incredibly palatable one. He kept me updated on a regular basis and knows the federal legal system very well.

Simply said Alan gave me and my family our lives back. This man is the best lawyer money can buy. I was in a serious situation and didn't know where to turn. Thank God I found Alan to handle my case. His experience and knowledge of the legal system got me through this tough time. Thanks so much Alan

In 2018 I was facing my first ever Federal drug offense and Alan was the only lawyer out of half a dozen that would take my case! He was very straightforward and honest about what he could do for me.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Baum is one of the best criminal lawyers in the State. If you have been accused of a crime, do not hestitate to make the call to Mr. Baum's office. He will aggressively defend your criminal case in federal court or state court."
"I endorse this lawyer. Alan is an exceptional criminal defense attorney not only on the state level but also in the federal system. As a lawyer particularly focused in this area too, Alan has been a great mentor and teacher both in the court and with client relationships. Unfortunately, in this business some clients tend to be repeat clients, and Alan's always return to him for any of their criminal matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Alan and I have worked together for over 10 years. It should go without saying that being a certified criminal law specialist and consistently named a SuperLawyer by LA Magazine that Alan is one of the best out there. While he is great at serious felony defense at the state level having successfully defended drug, murder and white collar cases there, his really specialty is federal defense. He is exceptionally well respected in all federal courts, by the judges and the U.S. Attorneys and his results there are often astounding."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Baum's professional practice has been an example for my own. His ability to find novel approaches in resolving difficult cases is second-to-none."
