I initially chose Baum Hedlund, now Wisner Baum, to represent me in my Zantac case based on the reputation they earned through their handling of the Monsanto case. I wanted a firm that had a proven track record in successfully litigating cases of personal injury through company negligence. Dealing with cancer and it's aftermath was a daunting enough experience but to find out that a company that I trusted with my health care knowingly put me at risk for that cancer felt like such a complete violation. In this type of situation it is so reassuring to know that I have an experienced and caring team at Wisner Baum working on my behalf. My representative, Luis Ballesteros, answers my emails and/or phone calls promptly. He is extremely kind and caring and always makes me feel listened to. He keeps me informed of any changes in the case and lets me know what to expect next.

 
Response from Wisner Baum

Working with Monique has been a great experience. She takes the time to explain and to follow up via email so that I have a written record of what we’ve discussed.

I hired Baum & Goldman, Hedlund law firm! I was a part of the Camp Fire in Paradise, Ca. This lawsuit has been a very long process due to the Fire Victim Trust and emotionally draining! I am grateful and thankful for the help of Matthew French and hands down for Janet Ospina!! Janet is so wonderful keeping me updated on our cases for myself and my children. She is compassionate and caring. Janet is professional and organized and communication with her was great. I am happy with my settlement offer they are receiving for my family and I highly recommend this law firm! Thank you!

The law firm of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei and Goldman is handling my Zantac cancer case and I’m really glad I chose them to represent me. I’ve never been involved in any litigation and was a little apprehensive about the process. But my Case Manager, Luis Ballesteros, has been very helpful, knowledgeable, and empathetic ~ a true professional. He has called me back immediately whenever I’ve had a question or concern and he keeps me informed of current progress. I highly recommend his firm. David A.

I have never needed a lawyer before. But i did my research and the reviews for Baum Hedlund were written by people such as myself. My case manager Kirstin Cautillo is a caring very compassionate person. She keeps in touch with me, which is not easy with my work schedule. Dropping me an email to checkin, Is so appreciated. She explains the process so that i can understand without having to have a degree.Im very glad i picked this law firm. But very glad they have Kirstin working my case.
