Richard Baum

Excellent attorney. After two prior attorneys made errors in my case my insurance company likely fearful of their own liability pulled out the stops and assigned Mr. Baum to it. He was meticulous, thoughtful, honest and in the end prevailed despite the shenanigans of opposing counsel. He help me r...egain some of my waning faith in the justice system. Bravo Mr. Baum!

Great job dealing with a government agency

Richard helped us deal with a local government agency lawsuit and did a great job representing us, including negotiation with our insurance carrier. I highly recommend both Richard and AAA.

Richard Baum is an Excellent choice for an attorney!

To start, my case was a very sensitive business & family matter. It needed a fine touch and a strong understanding of the fact that not only was this a legal issue, but a very personal family matter that needed to be handled with great finesse. Rick did just that! He, along with my other lawyer, who ...actually found Rick for our team, managed to get us an equal settlement, which allowed both sides to end the lawsuit with pride and fairness. Our team needed a lawyer that understood how to navigate the San Mateo County court system and was well respected. Rick proved himself time and time again. I don't think I could have found any better representation than him. There really is so much more I could say, all being positive, but I think you have the message by now. Rick is a great choice!

Highly Recommend

This was a difficult and trying time for me but with Richard's experience and calm demeanor, I was able to put my best foot forward which resulted in the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him anytime.

If I owned a business, I would want him working for me.

Im involved in a lenghty case that he has handled both personally and professionally. His updates and communications keep me confident and informed.

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.
