Ron Baum just worked a miracle in the courtroom for my loved one whom was facing some serious prison time. This was a felony case that involved 6 probation violations as well as a warrant for absconding to another state while on probation. This looked bleak. Not only was my fiancee considered a fugitive he owed a large sum of money to the courts including the cost of extradition which is charged to the fugitive. So restitution costs plus extradition cost almost totaled 12 grand. He was able to convert the restitution and the cost of extradition to a civil case and my fiance will be able to walk out of county jail after serving less than 90 days with nothing hanging over his head, no probation, nothing, a free man. Simply amazing. Oh and he worked with us on legal fees and was more than fair. He was very attentive and never ignored our calls. I even reached out on the weekends with questions. He responded and offered to accept collect calls because he knew money was tight. Doesn't make false promises and gives it to you straight and he darn sure delivers!! M
I unfortunately needed Ron's services, and considering the predicament I was in, I was nervous about the fate of my future. But rest assured, Ron put my worries to rest! He did the absolute best job representing me, and got the best possible outcome. My charge was reduced and I can start the sealing process soon! I appreciate that he took the time to explain all my options to me and always made himself available to answer my questions, he truly does go above and beyond! I would definitely recommend hiring him as your representation, he will surely fight for you!
I was referred to Ron by 2 attorney friends of mine!....From experience now, Ron Baum, has a heart of gold and gets the best possible outcome you could have never expected. I trusted him to help my daughter in a difficult time and I definitely recommend him for his expertise, resources and caring personality. He is always available and takes the time to explain the process, even if you keep asking questions. He expedited the case and got it closed!!! As we all can make mistakes in life, it does not have to ruin your life.....We are forever grateful for Ron.
Ron is an excellent attorney and demonstrated a lot of empathy and professionalism in dealing with our case. He really went above and beyond -- we are very grateful for his kindness in jumping into action at short notice on a weekend to start helping us deal with our case. Ron helped explain the legal process right from my first interaction and made sure that we did all the right things at the right time. I would highly recommend Ron without any hesitation.
I was extremely concerned about having to deal with my legal matter just as I was planning to move out of state. Mr. Baum's professionalism and calm demeanor put all my concerns to rest as soon as I met him. He helped me through a tough situation and always made himself available to me if I needed to speak to him day or night. I could not be more grateful for his expertise.
