Compassionate, reliable and knowledgeable

My car accident case was complicated and I wasn't sure I'd be able to find an attorney who could help me. But then I found Theresa. She was compassionate, hardworking, professional, quick to respond and reliable. She really took the time to understand my case and explained how we could move forward t...ogether. She provided detailed information about California's car accident laws and worked with me every step of the way until I received a great settlement that was more than fair. I highly recommend her services!

Positive experience

I've had very positive experiences working with Theresa and her staff on my car accicent case out of Berkeley in 2020. From day one she was extremely motivated towrds finding constructive solutions that met my expectations both legally and financially. Whenever any roadblocks surfaced along the way, ...she and her staff worked swiftly to address them. Her attention to detail and commitment make it easy for me toe recommend her services without reservation whatsoever!

Compassionate accident attorney

I highly recomend Theresa, who is an outstanding accident attorney in Walnut Creek. My car accident case was particularly difficult due to the severity of my injurys and the complexity of the legalities involved. Theresa's compasssionate attitude, hardwork, profesionalism and responsivenes made it th...e situation much easier for me. She was always available to address any questions or concerns I had and always delivered on her promises in a timely manner. I could not be more pleased with the results she obtained for me, as I felt she truly went above and beyond what could be expected under the circumstances.

Excellent attorney - very responsive and knowledgeable!

I've employed Theresa's services on two separate occasions and in both cases, she has been very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Theresa understands her profession and takes the time to explain the laws and how they pertain to your particular case. I've had attorneys in the past who didn't... take the time to explain the "game plan" and what direction we were heading - not the case with Theresa, she cares a great deal about her clients and walks them through the process. I read someone's wrote a review for Theresa on this site, but obviously that person didn't have the same experience that I, nor the people that I've referred her to, have had. I would HIGHLY recommend Theresa for any personal injury litigation. She is honest, and very forthcoming with letting you know exactly where you stand within the realms of the law. I was involved in a car accident in 2012, and Theresa took care of everything for me. From garnering the liens on medical services, physical therapy, and surgery, until the case was resolved, to providing me with great referrals to care providers. When it came down to settling our case out, she worked very hard and got me an award that was proper/justified for the injuries sustained. She even made sure I was compensated for my time away from work and the travel expenses to get to doctor's appointments, physical therapy, and any thing that was related to the accident. I've referred several of my friends to Theresa - and they all really enjoyed working with her and were thankful to have her representing them. I have only great things to say about Theresa Baumgartner's services. A simple call to speak with her will tell you within minutes that you've made a solid choice!

An INEXPERIENCED lawyer who claimed to be an experts on MVA, BUT A FAMILY LAW????

I was referred to her and she claimed SHES an expert in MVA,...SHES VERY INEXPERIENCED. She will send you drafts instead of legal copies of docs. SHE HAS NO INTEGRITY, SHE IS VERY DISHONEST THAT SHES TAKING CARE OF YOUR CASE BUT SHES NOT!! Furthermore, SHE DOESNT WALK HER TALK!!! When I called her... out on all the inconsistencies of her not doing the job but still lies ! Found out SHES a family law?!??? Lesson learned! A Waste of my time & energy.

Replied last June 01, 2015

I do not do family law, but respect those that do. In my 11 years of practice and over 500 cases handled, I have never received a negative review until now. In my 11 years of practice I have never terminated a client, until this one. She had lawyers before me and has several after me. I love my job, and have always had the upmost respect and concern for my clients and their cases and have received favorable results upon their behalf.
