The best ERISA attorney

So Julian took my case off for a year is a case against MetLife insurance and disability and after four years of dealing with MetLife and their bogus trumped up process, Julian was like a grand master chess player he worked out every move knew what they were gonna do how to deal with them and in the... end I wound up getting all the benefits and deserved and things that I didn’t believe they were going to come up with they actually did. Julian was like a grand master chess player he worked out every move knew what they were gonna do how to deal with them and in the end I wound up getting all the benefits I deserved and things that I didn’t believe they were going to come up with they actually did. I would recommend him to anybody he is in my opinion one of the best attorneys I’ve ever met and I’ve met quite a few

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Julian is not only a fantastic lawyer, he's a fantastic person. I've worked with him on numerous ERISA cases for 8 years, so I know not only the high quality of his work, but also how highly he is regarded in the legal community. He treats his clients exceptionally well and doesn't hesitate to put their interests before his own. He not only has integrity, he is down to earth and tells great jokes. In addition, we were law school classmates at the University of California (Hastings College of the Law) so we’re not only close friends, but I remember him before he wore suits and still had hair! In federal ERISA cases, he is among a small group of elite practitioners in Northern California."

Employee benefits lawyer | Feb 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Attorney Julian Baum, who represents ERISA claimants. If an employer provides long term disability benefits and the insurance company denies the claim, Mr. Baum is the attorney claimants ought to speak with. I first met Julian Baum in April, 2009. Because we both practice the same type of law (he on the West Coast and me in the East), we compare notes on legal and regulatory developments. Based upon these interactions, it is my opinion that Mr. Baum is an impressive lawyer: intelligent, down to earth, honest, and resourceful. I do have a sense he has a good reputation in the regulated community, including adversaries and judges. Every day, I am inundated with emails. But when I see one from Mr. Baum in my inbox, I always take a moment to read it because he always has something informative to say. He's a gentleman; he treats people with respect. I know Attorney Julian Baum, and I endorse him. Matt Vance February 24, 2014 Morristown, New Jersey"

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.
