Jacci is very professional and navigated me through the divorce process. She took emotion out of the process, and advised me based on facts and process. If I get married again, I will certainly use Jacci for my divorce.

Jacci was amazing from the very start of my custody case, she was very thorough and compassionate to my situation. She added a personal touch to where she seemed more like a friend than just someone you hire for legal help. She was always very reachable, and always offered great points of help. She’s very well educated and has a drive to make sure you won’t be disappointed in the outcome. I felt very confident with her and her abilities from the first time we talked, and she always was straight forward with me. It worried me seeing that she was a younger attorney in the beginning, but she seems to have more experience and knowledge than most older lawyers I’d spoken to. She is on the ball to say the least. She got me everything that I had asked for and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Jacci is truly a miracle worker and will make you feel cared about and in good hands. I highly recommend her to any father/mother who’s in need of legal help. She is amazing!

Jacci helped me retain fees owed to me after a divorce; not only once but twice. She was very personable and I felt I could open up to her. She explained each step of the court process and I am very grateful to have worked with such a knowledgeable and fair attorney.

I had an emergency situation happen involving my child, and Jacci absolutely came to my rescue. I had consulted with other family lawyers in the past regarding different issues, but Jacci was the only one that made me feel at ease from the minute I met her. Throughout the incredibly stressful ordeal, she answered the millions of questions that I had very promptly; taking away the stress of court and the mounds of paperwork. If you want someone to fight hard for your child and yourself, Jacci is the best hands down. She does not back down when it comes to your child, what is best for them, and their safety. Even after my case has been settled, she continues to answer any questions that I have regarding my custody agreement and issues that arise. I am very thankful that she was the one representing me, and I will continue to use her for any further matters.

Mrs. Baumann was amazing! She walked me through all my options and I felt that she always had my best interests in mind when executing the option that was chosen. I would highly recommend her for any family law issue. Very knowledgeable and real warrior in the court room.

I hired Jacci to defend me in a visitation/custody case, and she was exactly what I wanted. I had a lot of questions and she always had answers. She was very empathetic with me and provided with much needed guidance. She was very organized, attentive, and knowledgeable. We were overly prepared for the first hearing, and my ex and his lawyer seemed shocked that we were unwilling to roll over and give into their demands. My ex ended up withdrawing his motion for visitation, because he realized that we were serious and he was going to have to spend a lot more money than he had planned on. If he ever tries to take me back to court for visitation again, I will definitely hire Jacci again.

Jacci worked hard to help me gain sole custody of my daughters. I am in the military and live out of state so there were times I was frustrated to keep coming home for what felt like a never ending battle. She made it as easy as possible for me and showed immediate results that ultimately lead to my girls being safe in a drug free home with me. I have nothing to worry about and I owe all my thanks to her for guiding me step by step through the process. If I ever need a family lawyer again it will be her.

We started with another firm at the beginning of our case & made the switch to Atkins & Atkins, specifically Jacqueline Baumann. Jacqueline was amazing & treated us like family. She was very responsive, understanding & was able to get the results we needed. Highly recommend this firm over any other.

Jacqueline's firm was referred to me by the probate office for a step parent adoption. We didn't have any surprises. All communications were detailed and professional. It was a slam dunk!

You did a great job on my case and I can’t thank you enough. I would not use anyone else. She worked very hard to get everything done as fast as she could and she made sure it was perfect. Nobody cares as much as she does and she wants to do the best job for you
