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".

The BEST
If you are looking for the best federal criminal defense attorney, we highly recommend Alan Baum! We hired Alan on a case for our son. We were very diligent in our interviews with perspective attorneys to take our case. Alan was already highly recommended and we are very pleased with our decision to ...

Great Lawyer, Great Man
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

Alan is The Man You Need on Your Side
I went through several attorneys before finding Mr. Baum. I was in a serious bind and other legal counsel had made me feel very nervous about my situation and what it could lead to. My only regret is that I did not find Alan sooner. He has so much experience that he knows most of the judges and mo...

Great Lawyer and got the job done.
I hired Alan because of his fantastic reputation and he did not disappoint. I was looking at more than 15 years for a large white collar crime case and now I'm going home to be with my family. I don't know what these other people here are posting but I can assure you he did everything he could to do ...

Very understanding
Alan is a good lawyer. He was very helpful and precise with everything that needed to be done in my families case. We must have called him 100 times during the case and he was always available and understanding. I would definitely use him again.
"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."
