About

I offer a full array of family law dispute resolution options.  I have over 30 years of litigation, negotiation and mediation experience, so I can offer a variety of ways to help you with your situation.  I know the pitfalls of family law litigation, including the toll it takes on the family, the expense and uncertainty.  I have become a leader in advancing alternative dispute resolution, especially mediation and collaborative law.  I have extensive trial experience which I use when necessary, but if I am representing a client my negotiation skills usually get my clients good outcomes without a trial. My practice is split between representing family members and mediation for the family.  I mediate many divorce separation and settlement agreements, but also any disputes that need the guidance of an experienced neutral to resolve the situation. In addition to divorce mediation I mediate guardianships, custody, non-marital separations, inter-generational disputes and whatever matters require a neutral to help resolve the dispute.  I have practiced in several areas of the law, so that I can bring varied experiences to the table. As detailed in my biography, I have both a family law and business law background. I can bring a business perspective to family law issues and the family law perspective to business disputes. As a litigator and alternative dispute resolution attorney, my goal is to help you resolve your dispute in a way that costs you as little as possible in terms of time, money and pain.

I hired Bob for mediation, then suddenly the thing got much worse than expected. Initially I just panicked, but got a calm and truthful advise. Finally he walked me through the trial with no drama. I really appreciate his service.

I would highly recommend Robert Baum to represent anyone going through a divorce. After my disappointing experience with a previous attorney, who mishandled my case from the start, I contacted Bob with the hopes of getting an experienced and seasoned divorce attorney. Boy did I make the best selection!! He was always available and knowledgeable with all of my legal options. My case was especially volatile, with many twists and turns along the way yet Bob was up for every challenge I faced. In the end, I was awarded everything I deserved. Bob provided quality legal services and knew the law. His experience with litigation was especially gratifying! Bob makes you feel like you're his only case! Thank you again Bob for everything you've helped me through Now that its finally over, I feel like my good friend is moving away. You cant find a better person.

Bob is an amazing lawyer I would recommend him any day. He helped me bring my daughter back home after she was not returned from her visitation. He is a hard working person and has integrity which you don’t see very often in lawyers. I am glad we found him.

Bob helped me thru the toughest time in my life. We ended up going to mediation where I got everyone of my demands met and it was as much of a successful divorce as it could be. I would recommend Bob to anyone going thru this ordeal!

Mr Baum is absolutely fabulous! He is without a doubt an expert in his field! My "simple" separation became a challenging divorce. Mr Baum's expertise, professionalism, and advocacy allowed my children needs to remain the focus of the divorce process. It was clear thru this process that Mr Baum is well respected in the court system. I am forever grateful to Mr Baum. I will continue to recommend him!

I hired Bob several years ago for my divorce. Excellent interpersonal skills and solution oriented. He listened first and was quickly able to think of reasonable solutions for me to consider. He summarized my complex situation and presented ideas based on his years of expertise and knowledge of family law. I trust him and his ideas were always putting the children's needs and future success first. I trust him, and would recommend this attorney to anyone. After several years, I am a repeat customer and have hired him again for some additional support in custody case. Great choice, highly recommended.

A Phenomenal Attorney! Mr. Baum is man of integrity! He takes great pride in his work and clients. He is an extremely experienced, passionate, articulate, and business savvy attorney. He goes well beyond expectations and is very responsive. He kept me well informed during a very stressful time. He truly is very knowledgeable and a leader in his field. I was involved in a very contentious divorce involving tax fraud and hidden assets in a family business. Mr. Baum was there every step of the way, advocating on my behalf with integrity and worked with forensics to unravel the tax fraud. I highly recommend him! Thank you Mr. Baum
