We have worked with Mr. Kaune on our wills and other matters over the years. It has amazed us that after an extended period he was able to update our wills as if we were with him days before instead of years. He is very thorough and patient with all our questions and his team is very efficient in turning around documents for review. We trust him to take care of our needs.

My will and power of attorney and similar documents were updated. Everything went very smoothly. Mr. Frees made a schedule and met it; he explained all the entries in my new will in a detailed Zoom meeting. The documents are all extremely well done--at least insofar as a non-lawyer can judge. All possible contingencies were addressed, and he coordinated with my trust company to ensure that they are on board.

Mr. Kaune is an excellent lawyer. His knowledge of creating wills, POA for financial and medical needs and living wills is "right on". He explained every item in terms that made it easy for me to understand. There were many "ah ha" moments when my questions were answered. He made me feel very comfortable with what I was doing. Making a will is a stressing activity but Mr. Kaune friendly but professional and respectful manner certainly eased the stress. I have every confidence in him as well as his firm.

I could not have found a better attorney for my divorce. Brooke brings all of the knowledge and skill as any other quality lawyer in the field. What sets her apart from the rest is that she is authentically personally invested in achieving the best outcome for your family. Especially during times of personal trial, you can rely on Brooke to represent your best interest. That type of reliability she provides is rare and invaluable. I’m confident you will get the same sense from your first conversation with her. If you are searching for legal representation, reach out to her and have that conversation.

My case was not a typical open and close book case. When it seemed like we reached a dead end, Jennifer would find another road for us to venture down. She was always very supportive and understanding of the sensitivity of my situation. Most of all, I appreciated her honesty and determination to help me regain what was taken from me. We had many adventures with twists and turns for 4 yrs before finally exhausting all of our options and agreeing on the best decision. One year later, I received a call from Jen, we finally did it, I won my case!!! I owe a lot to her and everyone at the firm for all they did for me!! Thank you!!!

Ms. Bender was able to help me with my family law matter after another lawyer failed. She seems good-natured and I actually enjoyed having meetings with her. I really felt she was on my side. She also helped me later do my Will and helped me with the settlement on my new townhouse. All in all, very positive experiences.

In my recent engagement with Joseph Rizzo, for a very reasonable price, he got RESULTS. I am in a complicated custody and support battle. In two hearings, and limited time, he undid much of what five other attorneys could not do in the previous four years. I am very happy with his representation and he also makes a real effort to listen to his clients and understand the case before making rash recommendations as so many lawyers tend to do.

While I had wish we met during different circumstances, I reached out to Mr. Baer when I was going through a civil battle. It was instantly apparent that from our first moments of communication that Mr. Baer was both well versed and qualified to represent me. Aside from his extensive experience with the legal system and various cases, Mr. Baer also has a very endearing way about him. Going through any legal ordeal is very taxing on an individual, but he walked with me through every step. If there is any future issue that arises, I would not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Baer as he is and forever will be my lawyer of choice.

Hiring appropriate counsel for family matters can be an extremely intimidating & daunting task. Last year, my husband & I were saddled with said task due to an inevitable court battle. This would be my first experience going to court and to say I was fearful would be an understatement. The unavoidable reality was that this court ruling could & would change the trajectory of my daughter’s and subsequently, my life.
My husband suggested we meet with the associates at Baer Romain & Ginty. So I set up an interview to see whether this firm was right for us. My initial conversation was with Jennifer Hulnick. She was a straight shooter, which I really appreciated. She told me the reality of the situation and not want I wanted to hear. She was also punctual, understanding, very informative and knowledgeable about the law. We had plans to move forward with her as our counsel but due to scheduling conflicts, Stephen Baer ultimately represented my husband & I in our upcoming court case.
I met Stephen the morning of our first court hearing. Although we didn’t have time to meet in person prior to this, he made sure I was ready for the proceedings via phone & email.
That first meeting marked the beginning of our client-attorney relationship that lasted several months. During this period, I found Stephen to be beyond thorough, courteous and attentive. He made sure I was fully prepared for all court matters, executed our paperwork thoroughly & without error, he was timely every time and helped me to understand every aspect of our case. Stephen was always available to me and rarely missed my calls but if he did, he would call me back that same day. Stephen’s attitude and his years as an experienced attorney helped give me confidence as I walked with my husband and daughter through unfamiliar territory. I knew my family was in good hands with Stephen as our attorney.
Our court case was settled quickly and we were granted everything we wanted and more. My satisfaction with this experience is beyond anything I could have imagined. I recall crying uncontrollably the day I had to make the call to Baer Romain & Ginty because I didn’t know what the future would hold. On the day of our ruling, I remember smiling so hard my cheeks hurt and taking a picture in Stephen’s office that is displayed proudly in our home.
I would choose this law office every time my family & I need counsel. They truly care and have the best interest of their clients at heart.

Deborah has been a strong and successful advocate for clients in pursuit of family, legal support. She is both professional and empathetic in providing counsel.
In most domestic cases there will be a party on the losing end. Either by virtue of the facts of the case and/or as a result of their own behavior. Writing a false and misleading evaluation of the opposing counsel is their way of deflecting from their own short-comings. Keep that in mind when you read these reviews.
Deborah Brand is an experienced legal professional who has the ability to understand and sympathize with her client's while at the same time providing a strong representation of their case and delivering positive results. She is highly respected by her peers in the legal community. I fully endorse and recommend Deborah Brand.

My husband & I have hired Leo White last Sept (Sept 2014). So far it has been a roller coaster ride. Things were done that we are not happy about so far. We will revise at the end of our services with him. We feel like that's why he have handled things the way he has thus far. Again, we will revise this review at the end of his services to see just how he handle things from this point on.
