David H. Baum

My husband and I consulted with Mr. Baum, in March of 2016 to help us with a step parent adoption. We were unsure of how to go about it, I initially called his office and Mr. Baum was so helpful and answered all our questions without any hesitation, he never made us feel rushed when answering questio...ns. We decided to acquire his services right away, he invited we meet with him in his office and we did, he again went over everything we needed to know he was so thorough and extremely knowledgeable and really made us feel so comfortable and confident with the process. During the course of our case we encountered a couple of bumps in the road with the biological father, but no matter what Mr. Baum again made us feel really confident with the progress of the case. and always offered solutions. We ended up having a situation where the biological father served us papers, and unfortunately Mr. Baum does not handle the contested portion of the adoptions, but that didn't stop us, he suggested a lawyer whom he works closely with and she did not disappoint us, she too was amazing! Mr. Baum just works with and is the best!!! Fast forward to October 2016 we were officially done with our case and the outcome was exactly what we wanted!! Mr. Baum did not let us down one bit, anytime he was in vacation, he still would answer his emails and even call us. His staff is amazing and polite. Mr. Baum is extremely knowledgeable and very well known in the court system, which gave us much more confidence in him. We would definetly recommend Mr. Baum to anyone that is looking to proceed with the step parent adoption.

David Baum is professional, ethical, knowledgeable and truly at the top of his game. I have recommended him to many of my close friends who are considering domestic adoption. He helped us through the entire process, from preparing our birth mother letter, to finding a child that was eligible to adopt..., and to finalizing the match. We chose David because we felt he was trust worthy, and this proved true over time. He understands adoption from a personal and professional perspective, and is very committed to helping with family formation and is sensitive to the needs of all parties involved. David and his office staff are quick to respond to questions, and are extremely knowledgeable and thorough. If we are lucky enough to adopt again, we will go back to David and his team.
