Bull Dog

In my free consultation he told me what to expect from my husband and his attorney and he was dead on target. He is expensive but I guess that goes with experience. I've talked and hired other attorneys before and this one will actually call you back and fight for you in court. His staff is very h...elpful too. In fact his paralegal is great she will explain everything if you have a question and don't want to talk to the attorney direct.

Highly Professional, Decades of Experience in SD Court (Does not "Suffer Fools Gladly")

This attorney has an impeccable reputation. Doing a thorough background check on him, there were many recommendations as to his in depth knowledge of local San Diego courtroom practices and personnel. He knows these people well. He knows what it takes to protect you in a family law courtroom. The... California Bar Association gives him a clean record. I prepared and organized documents thoroughly BEFORE calling for a free first meeting so that he could see the depth and breadth of these complex issues and I could determine his ability to comprehend and analyze. I created a cover sheet with a profile, a summary of the facts and the documents. He was amazing. Baumer read EVERYTHING, assimilated the most important facts, analyzed their importance to this case, created a series of suggestions and a Game Plan to go forward. In addition, he personally knew the judges who had already been involved. While I was in the office, he phoned a colleague to do an analysis of the attorney on the other side. He called a second professional colleague for advice on a unique aspect of this case. These professionals answered the phone for him immediately and provided the info he requested immediately. This is a very sharp individual. He is a consummate professional. Do not show up here unprepared and sobbing uncontrollably. His job is to get you through the divorce - not to hold your hand. If you want comfort, get a dog. But don't hire that dog to assertively represent you at trial! If you are the type of person who would want the absolutely top of the line cardiac surgeon to do necessary heart surgery, this is the attorney you want. If you are the type of person who requires hand holding, tissues, and a Marcus-Welby bedside manner, you are probably not doing to do well at court and you might want to hire an attorney of a lesser caliber. Be Smart. Hire this man! I am pleased.
