Joshua Michael Baskin

DO NOT HIRE THIS LAW OFFICE!! They do not do their Fudiciary duties, they lack communication, they lie, and in the end hinder your case due. This office refused to respond to me or the other party's attorney on many occasions. Only responses I would get were generalized saying they were working on it... or reviewing it. However, it came to the point 2 business days before my hearing the other parties attorney filed a 48page Motion in Limine and were going to file sanctions due to never hearing from this attorney on their multiple attempts. Mind you the office never told me this I found out by looking at the court case website and downloading the motion. This office never communicated with me regarding my case until days before my hearing nor did they provide anything to the other party's attorney as in what was requested or even my proposals. In the end after the motion was filed I fired Mr. Baskin due to lack of competence and failure of Fiduciary Duties. Upon pickup of my case file more was proven of his lack of work on my case when I was given all the documents the other party's attorney sent as wellas seeing nothing was prepared for the hearing that was in 2 business days. Even after all of this I followed up with the office on multiple occasions to resolve issues and seek refunds and never got a response or never recieved my requested recordings after months and multiple requests. I have now filed a complaint with California State Bar.

I had a case with the firm and Mr Baskin was able to obtain a good resolution for me. His staff was accommodating. They do communicate mainly through email which I understood as my information needed to be kept confidential. They don’t give out my information to anyone who calls claiming it’s me. I w...ould recommend him as he offer payment plans and works with clients

When I first hired Mr. Baskin he was seemingly helpful and seemed to care about my case and situation. He was good about communication while I was paying him. After finding out the case was going to be more complex and we were moving forward more in court he neglected to inform me at that time he kne...w (which was months before the next hearing/trial date) that he was going to be charging me more money to continue representing me. Him and his office waited until the month of the next hearing to try and charge me without a formal heads up about the need for payment to proceed. The bill being sent to me from his billing department was the only notification I received about the need to be charged more to continue representation. Had I know when he first knew I would have been prepared to pay his fees long before the newest court date. He did not give me that opportunity.
