Couldn't have asked for a better attorney

I am a grandmother with guardianship of my 9-year-old granddaughter. A former male baby sitter of hers attempted to gain parental rights and appealed my guardianship. An attorney in Visalia recommended Mr. Baxter as the best appeal attorney in the region. He told me he usually doesn't handle family l...aw cases, but he would take mine. Bottom line: He won the the case for me. My opponent's appeal was dismissed. At the outset Mr. Baxter told me how long it would probably take, how much it would probably cost and what the likely outcome would be. He was sincere, compassionate and very knowledgeable about how the appeals court works due to his vast experience with appeals. He inspired reserved confidence in me, always letting me know at each step what COULD happen, but also what would PROBABLY happen. He knew the appeals judges were going to rule in my favor by the way they questioned him at the hearing. So, even though the actual decision didn't come out for a couple of months after the hearing, I was not too stressed out. I have worked with several other attorneys in the past, and I can honestly say Mr. Baxter is the best ever. He also didn't charge me for every little thing, and I could tell he was trying hard to keep the cost down for me, which I really appreciated. I would retain him again for any type of appeal case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
