Hired Attorney Frances M. Phares

Frances M. Phares (we called her “Fran”) was one of the attorneys who worked on our case. I have to say that we could not have asked for someone more caring, knowledgeable, and sensitive to our situation. She kept us informed about all developments, and she maintained constant communication. She made sure that we understood all of the details of our case, and she was always available whenever we needed her.

Hired Attorney J. Clark Aristei

Clark, your kindness over the phone was such a reassurance as we faced the mediation. I truly was impressed by what you’d learned of my Dad by reading the mounds of information I’d shared. I knew you cared and I appreciated that you’d taken the time to know him. The fact you had 3 attorneys sitting with us at the table for the mediation was amazing to me. To consider that with the caseloads you carry and all the good you do for your clients, you flew across the country to support us.

They were amazing to work with during a very difficult time!! They took the time to "know" my Dad and learn everything they could about the accident so they could best represent my family. Paul, Clark and Cara were guardian angels for our family - they gave us strength when we had none of our own left. Every phone call I made was answered promptly. They continued working with us until everything was settled - even after they had been paid - they continued to dot every "I" and cross every "T".

Hired Attorney Paul J. Hedlund

From the moment we met Paul Hedlund we knew that we were in good hands and those responsible would be held accountable. He made it clear from the start that it would not happen overnight, but we knew however long it took that Baum Hedlund was also in it for the long haul. They continually illustrated their commitment and followed through on everything they told us during our initial consultation, that everything would be taken care of by them throughout the case. Integrity Counts!!

I want to thank you wonderful people for being so knowledgable and compassionate in representing me and my brother for the loss of our brother Bill, who was killed in the 2005 Glendale Metrolink train crash. Little did we know that one day we would need the services of attorneys that handle deaths with a major city and state transportation system. We appreciate the outstanding job you did with us and other clients to try and change safety issues on how the train runs.

Mrs. Phares is a very caring person. She was always there when I called or would always respond to her emails in a very timely manner when I would email her. She always had my concerns at heart. She is a very caring individual who really does care for her clients. I have nothing but the upmost respect for her as she treated me like I was her only client & like family & not just another case that she was working on. I love her & we still keep in touch.
