We had a loved one held hostage for insurance money at a facility in North Tampa. This team was responsive, professional and effective (on a weekend nonetheless). We very much appreciate how they were able to help us free our loved one. Highly recommend!

Paid $8000.00 to retain services knowing my partner was being baker acted by mistake. By the time initial filing was created with attorney, we had already progressed to completing the release of partner. Attorney was not aware of the release (until I notified that night) and word was sent that the file was being closed with no more services needed - I wanted to sue the hospital that did this- regardless, the attorney sends me a $105 credit to my account stating that since it closed early, and the other was non refundable/non-negotiable that was the extent of the service. A few weeks later, unauthorized by me, I was charged an additional $395 for some unknown reason, and the attorney will not return my inquiry. Now that they have my bank card on file, they pretty much can charge whatever they want without my knowledge. If you can’t trust the attorney ethics in a situation of dire need - who can you trust ? they were quick to interview and get payment, and fix the docs needed to file with county, but county moved person before filed, and refilling was delayed while their contacts in county assured them the patient was not being released, but moved. Next time- if this happens, we will try to rectify ourselves as that 8,000.00 could have hired an attorney to sue hospital for damages and won- now we are feeling taken by both the county, the facility, and our representation that was hired in good faith ethically. There aren’t many baker act attorneys. Must be a reason why. Very unsatisfied customer at this point- with no hint of amicable resolution by attorney office since no return contact has been initiated in almost 7 days of the charge to account.

Thank you to all the lawyers and staff at your company. We spoke to Jarred, Jesse, Lewis mostly. We never imagined we would need your services ever but we are so thankful we found you! You all explained procedures and have treated us well with kindness and handled our case in a professional and urgent manner! Thank you all so much and all the videos Mark has out are great for explaining how these cases are taken care of. We are learning so much from the videos! Thank you all so much and Mark please keep posting videos!

Lifesavers! They do what needs to be done to get your loved ones back fast. Cannot say enough about Mark and his team. They start immediately and don't waste time, because time is of the essence. Do not hesitate if someone you know has been given the Baker Act. You need the best and that was my experience with Mark and his team, Jesse helped a lot, they were awesome! Thanks again Mark and Jesse!

We are beyond blessed and thankful for Baker Act Attorneys. Jarred, Kathleen, Mark and Lewis were very helpful and went above and beyond to help our family member be released from a Behavioral facility under a Baker Act. Our family member was released in less than 24 hours! If you ever run into any of these situations, they are your best choice!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you & may God bless you all!!!

Responsive and professional. They understand the word URGENT. Expensive - but you get what you pay for - VERY SATISFIED.

Ken and the firm does great, we have used them for years.

Called this attorney after my daughter was wrongfully baker acted. $8000.00 to send out a single letter to the facility!!!

Mark Astor did a phenomenal job helping us with an involuntary baker-act situation. Within a few hours of contacting him, he and his team had the situation under control. He was kind, understanding, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Total rubbish, took our money gave false information, stay clear of them !!!!

This review is long overdue…. It’s quite a long story and I’ll spare everyone from the details, but I will say that Mark was the best attorney I have hired. We were in tight spot and he knew exactly what to do, when to do it and had our back’s even after everything was settled. Couldn’t be happier with the service. Mark was very professional, attentive and worked extremely fast. I hope I never have to use his services again, but he will be the first to call if another situation like that arises.

Baker Act Attorneys are the real deal. My cousin was Baker acted by her abusive husband who used it as a way to threaten and control her. Baker Act Attorneys got in there and got the job done by getting her out quick. My family and I were kept informed every step of the way and Baker Act Attorneys did what needed to be done to get my cousin out of harms way. Do not even hesitate to hire this company. They are fantastic at what they do.
