I am very happy that I chose Baum Hedlund to represent me in my case. I wanted to be with a firm that was reputable, knowledgeable and experienced. Unlike other law firms I have worked with, I was pleasantly surprised to also find my lawyers, Brent Wisner and Fran Phares, to be down to earth and compassionate. Talking to Fran was like talking to a member of my family. She treated me like her top client, when I knew she had thousands. I found this firm's heart to be in the right place. They provided me the guidance that I needed, the answers to my questions and always with timely responsiveness and professionalism. I am very pleased with the outcome of my settlement and I highly recommend any one in the unfortunate situation of needing high-caliber trial lawyers, to choose Baum Hedlund.

Baum Hedlund Law Firm offers free consultation and is handling my case of the Zantac Cancer Lawsuit. Because Baum Hedlund Law showed me the importance of dedicated, understanding staff who explain and guide you through the legal process, diligently prepare your case, welcome your questions, and promptly responded to my needs. With a decades-long track record of success handling pharmaceutical drug injuries. Plus pairing me with Kirstin Cautillo my case manager from Baum Hedlund Law Firm whom sincerely cares about you as a person and your suffering. I know its a win for me with Baum Hedlund Law Firm.

We have nothing but praise to give working with Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, P.C.. They are the most dedicated, caring, professional company I have met. They expained everything in terms that are easily understood and were always compassionate and fast to respond to any questions or needs I had. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for above and beyond legal help.

Definite '5 STAR REVIEW'. Before deciding on BHAG, I researched 10 other law firms, their reputation and results, their team, values, website, etc. For me, BHAG was a clear choice and preference, mostly based on how they come across in terms of corporate values and in particular, how they connect personally w/the client. A perfect example of this is the support - special support - that Kirstin has extended to me. For case continuity, Kirstin (my new case mgr) called today to introduce herself. I was totally impressed, truly thankful for her keen personal touch / professional talent to listen, relate to, and genuinely empathize w/my cancer situation. She was sincere, patient and kind. To reiterate, Kirstin was highly professional yet friendly and approachable. Her integrity was palpable even at a distance of 1,000 miles. Moving forward I'm confident all is handled with the above hallmarks of harnessing an important legal case, independent of outcome. THANKS BHAG & Kirstin!

Hired Attorney Frances M. Phares

From the start of my case, Fran was honest and open. She never made promises she couldn’t keep. She returned calls, text and always answered my questions, or found out the answer in a timely manner. Lots of variables in this case were out of her hands, and she always kept us informed.

I am writing a review of the law firm of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman. You see I and my family were struck by the tragedy of the Woosley Fire in California, which destroyed many homes and personal property along with the loss of human life. They did everything from cataloging and appraisals of the damages that were caused to even visiting I and my family to discuss the case. They were always professional and promptly return my phone calls or E-mails no matter what time I contacted them with questions including weekends. Their response to our case was incredible. I want to thank the whole team at Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman for their hard work and wonderful treatment I and my family received from them. So I can only suggest in the strongest possible terms, that if you ever find yourself in need of expert legal representation do yourself a favor and contact Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman
