Hired Law Firm

Mr. Baker and Susan Guedj are the best. Susan is the best to talk to. She is so sweet and pleasant, always giving her full attention and helping get answers to any question you may have. Mr. Baker has been wonderful. He helped me when I thought I had no hope. Mr. Baker led me through a difficult time and was so knowledgeable and honest with me at all times. I loved working with them and will recommend Sanzone and Baker Law Firm to anyone seeking a honest, professional attorney. They are true genuine great people. I absolutely loved they way they handled everything. I have full trust in them. Thank you so much for everything you did for me.

Mr. Sanzone treats his clients with the utmost respect. He is very honest and upfront with details about the case with each client. Each employee of Sanzone & Baker is hard-working & strives to do their best on each case. I would recommend the law offices of Sanzone & Baker to any member of my family and all of my friends.

Example: Sanzone insisted that I only needed to be "enrolled" in VASAP to get my license back at the end of a 12 month suspension. VASAP disagreed. He told me basically that they don't know what's up. I listened to him. He was wrong. By the time I was driving again it was 22 months. No restricted license either. He may say he knows what's up and is an expert in the field of your case, but don't be surprised if he steers you wrong. Very difficult to get him to return calls too.

Very disappointed!. Does not return phone calls, little willingness to work on case without being pushed. We were unable (no voicemail or email) to actually speak to our lawyer.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
