Mr. Baumer

There was a lot of comments that Robert was going to run up my retainer etc. But that was ALL false. He really REALLY tried,...He even compensated me for some of the issues that wasn't solved. How many lawyers have you heard of THAT happening? Never. He took the case as far as humanly possible. He wo...rked hard,...I know its always a hesitation to hire someone. Be he will work for you. Although the case didn't turn out the way I wanted it,...it was circumstances outside of what Mr. Baumer control and I acknowledge that. I can say it is very honest and forthright. You can't say that about most lawyers either. Mr. Baumer is truly an exception.

Did what he said he would

I want to Thank Mr. Baumer and his entire staff for the work they did on my case. The attention to detail and professionalism from him and his staff was exemplary. He took on my case and did just what he said he would do. My court date went smooth as he and his staff was very well prepared. I felt su...pported throughout the entire process even when I was out of state. I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family law lawyer. Thanks again to Mr. Baumer and his staff

Experience Matters

Mr. Baumer and his entire staff have been responsive, engaged, and proactive in court and in solving issues that came up in my legal matter. The team works well together and they are doing everything they can with sensitivity to the issues and complexities of this decades long matter. I honestly be...lieve that if they had come on board in this matter from the beginning, they would have saved me a lot of time and trouble over the years. My case is an extremely complex one, and Mr Baumer and his team have worked tirelessly to help me and reach a successful outcome. I would not wish on anyone the difficulty of my custody and divorce situation, but if you need solid, honest, experienced, and completely dedicated representation then you should choose Mr. Baumer. He is action-oriented, proactive, and tireless in his advocacy.

Attorney Robert J. Baumer

Had a lot of court experience which is what I wanted. He is known as a tough guy in court, a bull dog, which is also what I wanted. He was honest and told me my case could go either way. He made me aware of the challenges I would be facing and what my financial obligation may involve. He's not ch...eap but the other others I talked to were in his ballpark price and some were lower but did not have much court room experience. I weighed my options and thought I was better off paying someone who had fought many court room battles rather than hiring someone with little court room experience. Yes, I won my case but even if I didn't I wouldn't have Judged him harshly as he told me upfront that he could not guarantee that he would win. Let's face it no one is guaranteed anything much in life. Even if you had the best case in the world, I know that Judges don't always rule in your favor. They have a mindset of their own and talk about EGO. Enough said, I would recommend this attorney.
