“The people at Baron Family Law are what set them apart from other law firms. Divorce is so complicated and emotional - it’s nice to find a place that embodies depth of knowledge as well as compassion and understanding. 10/10 would recommend.”
“It’s never fun to need an attorney. I actually picked them because of the reviews I read and was not disappointed. From my initial call with Sheri I felt safe and heard. The response time for getting an appointment was much quicker than expected. My appointment was with Lora. I was so happy after speaking with her. She seemed to really care, asked me great questions and by the time we hung up I felt a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt I had someone in my corner. I highly recommend Baron Family Law.”
