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".

Excellent advise, wise
I had the pleasure of speaking with Alan and immediately he came off as someone who has a lot of experience. After speaking to many different attorney's, I had some fast ball questions and Allan's answers were spot on. He knows how to view the situation from a multidimensional perspective. I recommen...

Skilled & Practical
Alan did a great job representing me. It was a complex case and he was able to help me navigate the most difficult time in my life by giving me clear information about what to expect, along with negotiating a favorable plea deal.

Helen R. Broosk vs County of Los Angeles 1976 or Darrell E. Brooks vs County of Los Angeles 1976
Mr. Baum represented by husband and myself in 1976 for the murder of a police officer in which we were cleared of this crime by a summary trial. Darrell was imprisoned for I think a year and I was arrested and put in jail for 3 days and fired from my Los Angeles County job for murder of Police Office...
"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."
