Robert Michael Baskin

In my opinion, words can not express the horror that I encountered once I broke down and engaged the services of the Law Office of Robert Baskin. First, I learned he backdated our employment contract so he could charge me almost $3,000 in consultation fees. Now I learn after publishing my story on ...a variety of web sites, that there are at least a dozen other people who suffered similar fates, and that they too have filed complaints with the State Bar of California. At the time I considered hiring BASKIN, my twin-sister had died suddenly. To make matters worse, COVID19 isolated me (and so many others) from the world. Without my twin-sister to help advise me, I was lost. She had warned me as executor of her estate, I would be dragged to the bowels of hell by her greedy relatives; but fortunately, a friend was able to secure an incredible attorney who I would recommend 100 times over. However, like for so many others, life did get worse – suddenly my best friend of thirty (30) years died. Then I learned the Lodge I had joined for support was now asking me to perpetrate financial crimes, and was also engaged in discrimination against the LGBT community and people of color. Now I had to look for yet another attorney. I was barely holding up. Finally I was referred to Robert Baskin. After insisting that I send him 100's of documents to evaluate my case, he insisted that I had a great case, and to give him $25,000 to start with. What he failed to reveal was he would need another $200-$300,000 to fully pursue the case. Most importantly when an attorney with firm left, I was asked by Baskin if I wanted to stay with him. I agreed — on the terms that the case had to be filed before he spent more than $10,000 of my money. Within a month he spent $25,000 and wanted more. I was near suicide. I had been lied to again. I would never, ever, ever recommend this man until you have researched all of his “recommendations” and asked the other people who filed complaints against him too.
