He created the school’s aviation accident law course; for 21 years he taught courses in torts, aviation, and legal writing and analysis.

Ron and his staff have been a very strong legal team in handling my tour bus accident / personal injury suit. He has adeptly maneuvered through the current COVID-19 restrictions to keep my case on track. I am very happy with his work so far and look forward to our continued relationship in 2021.

Attorney Ronald Goldman was an exceptional attorney that we retained after my father was tragically killed by a negligent truck driver on 11/30/10. He was one of several attorneys that worked with the Law Firm, Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman. I only had the pleasure of meeting him once, during a Mediation hearing my family and I attended before our case eventually was settled. He was one of the kindest most sincere and honest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He also had a gentleness and sensitive nature about him that spoke volumes about who he is a person. He spoke very clearly and made sure that we all understood everything that was happening. My mother stated that he reminded her of a dear relative she knew growing up and that she felt he genuinely cared about our loss and getting justice for our family-we all felt he did. I would highly recommend this law firm and Ronald Goldman as an attorney for anyone seeking any kind of legal work that would require an attorney. We have been truly blessed and feel honored that our case was taken on by such an amazing attorney but evern more, by such an amazing and outstanding human being.

On behalf of our entire family, and most importantly my mother, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for all that your firm did for us during a very difficult process. It is very difficult still, four years later, to deal with the loss of my mother. As you heard many people say, she was the glue that held us all together. Her loss continues to be felt by all of us and all that knew and loved her. My family hired Baum Hedlund to represent us in our case against the trucking company responsible for my mother’s death. We mainly worked with Cara Luther, out your Washington, D.C. office, who literally held our hand through the legal process. Paul Hedlund also worked on our case and followed through on everything he told us during our initial consultation. We did not get to meet your senior trial attorney Ron Goldman until the end of our journey, but it was clear he too was part of the team we had come to trust. Everyone at Baum Hedlund continually demonstrated how much they care about your individual situation and that you are important to them. What you think and feel is important to them. Thank you for showing that you understood what we were going through and that you really do care about people.
