Pam helped me in my divorce case. She was fair, hardworking, and honest, and reliable. Highly recommend her.

I can say my experience w/this attorney was great very successful!! She's patient, caring & very understanding!! You deal directly w/her no third party. If you're having issues Pam Baumgartner is the go to lady!!!💯 😊

She was my free public defender. I asked for a different lawyer as she wasn't interested in really helping me in my case. Pam then told me how I could end up with an even worse lawyer. And when I lost, she showed not an ounce of compassion during the whole process.

Great and very helpful and knowledgeable. Attorney Pam Baumgartner is very respectful and dependable. She makes herself available and I can tell she truly cares about the families she works with which makes the processes easier to get through and understand.

Mark has walked with me through a very difficult divorce. He not only took care of the legal side of the proceedings, he also coached me in how to take the power away from bullies. His team is amazing. They always responded to my calls and emails promptly. I recommend Mark to anyone seeking legal counsel in divorce matters.

Who you choose as your divorce attorney is the decision that will have the greatest impact on the outcome, and I don't just mean financial, but also in terms of emotions, time, and relationship with your soon-to-be-ex. I am very glad I choose Mark Borns to represent me. He asks smart questions. He understands strategy. He knows when to push and when to push back. He listens well, and communicates clearly. My spouse and I were on the same page, but he had to wrangle with her attorney, who was a troublemaker type of attorney. He ran circles around this other attorney while gaining the respect of both me and my now ex-spouse. A few more things about Mark that I think are unusual but, at least in my case, good. He is NOT a nickel-and-dimer. Does he charge you for his time? Yes. But unlike my ex's attorney, he adds value each time he emails or talks to you. Again unlike my spouse's attorney, he has a great paralegal (Jenny) who more than once was able to answer my questions and keep the ball rolling and her lower rate. Mark and Jenny always appeared to be on the same page and communicated very well, so even when Mark was not always immediately available, I had confidence that Jenny could direct me appropriately and communicate with him promptly. And again, you don't realize how good your attorney is until your ex''s is terrible, but he let me run with a lot of the spreadsheets to save money while at the same time, my now ex's attorney was retyping things at $250/hour. Ridiculous. Mark is experienced in divorce so he knows all the emotional ups and downs that are inherent in the process, and the games that ex's and their attorneys play, and was able to help navigate me through these with empathy, professionalism, and logic. (Logic is a rate commodity while divorcing...) All in all, I am thankful that I had Mark on my team. He was the leader of the band and got both sides to the separation agreement.

If you are looking for someone who is willing to stand up and fight for you, then Mark Borns is your lawyer! Mark took my case 4 years ago and stepped right in and helped me sort through my ugly divorce. He continues to help me with my post divorce issues and I have been extremely happy with all that he has done for me and my son. He is a man of good character and knows what is the RIGHT thing to do! Mark and Jenny have been awesome and I am so grateful for them. I highly recommend Borns Law Office.

Mark has represented me in several complicated post-divorce matters, and I am very pleased with his approach and outcomes. Mark is a practical and reasoned professional -- he considers all solutions to issues to work in the client's best legal and financial interest. His breadth of expertise and years of experience give him insights that have helped me to feel grounded in my expectations, giving me the confidence to advocate for myself and my children. Mark has the respect of his peers and professionals involved in the family court system - it was very affirming to hear high praise for Mark's practice during conversations with a social worker, a family court mediation specialist and several other attorneys. Every interaction I've had with Mark and his staff has been positive and constructive, which makes me feel I am receiving excellent value for his services. Mark came highly recommended to me -- from the former spouse of one of his own clients! -- and I am very happy to have recommended him to several others.

I have known Mark professionally for over 5 years through many child custody conflicts following a divorce. He is widely respected in his field by peers, which is something I have seen firsthand. While I feel unfortunate in the frequency of my legal issues, I couldn't ask for a better attorney to represent me! I have been awarded favorable outcomes every time to date and I wouldn't consider another attorney. Prior to working with Borns Law I worked with a different attorney that was in a large law firm downtown. While this too was a favorable outcome, I spent more money and had a very difficult time getting to speak to that attorney causing more anxiety and confusion with the process. Mark has taken my calls, answered my emails and seen me in person with a days notice when needed to prepare for upcoming legal proceedings. I also refer to Mark as the voice of reason. Legal issues, especially involving custody of a child are always stressful and cause significant anxiety but Mark maintains a very no nonsense approach and refrains from getting involved in the drama or antagonizing the other party which keeps things professional and above board. For this, I have referred many people to Mark for consultation over the years.

When you are going through a divorce, it is a very difficult and painful time. You need someone who is a good listener, someone who responds to your concerns in a timely fashion, and, most importantly, someone who is a very able advocate on your behalf. MARK BORNS HAS NONE OF THOSE CHARACTERISTICS. During my divorce, he constantly had to be reminded of the issues which were a part of my divorce. During meetings with my ex-wife and her attorney, he consistently called her by a wrong name. During one very difficult session with a judge, Mr BORNS announced that he was not going to waste his time dealing with a particular issue because he didn't deem it to be important. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY OTHER THAN MARK BORNS
