    I cannot say enough about how kind and helpful the firm, especially my case manager, Kelechi, have been! They have handled my late husband’s Zantac case with compassion and empathy. Kelechi does an excellent job keeping me informed but not overwhelmed. I cannot recommend this firm enough!

    The law firm of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei and Goldman is handling my Zantac cancer case and I’m really glad I chose them to represent me. I’ve never been involved in any litigation and was a little apprehensive about the process. But my Case Manager, Luis Ballesteros, has been very helpful, knowledgeable, and empathetic ~ a true professional. He has called me back immediately whenever I’ve had a question or concern and he keeps me informed of current progress. I highly recommend his firm. David A.

    I am one of the plaintiffs in the Roundup case. This law firm met and far exceeded my expectations, negotiating medical liens with my insurance to get me a settlement larger than I expected. They were very great at communication, responding to all emails and keep me appraised throughout the process, which was several years long. I would recommend them to anyone.

    I have never been involved in anything like this Zantac class action. My case manager Kirstin Cautillo is just absolutely fantastic. Not only is she incredibly intelligent but she has a great deal amount of empathy. She follows up & keeps in contact to let me know how the case is progressing & explains everything so I can understand it easily. She is a friend now regardless of what happens. I feel blessed she came into my life!

    I received exceptional service from Baum Hedlund throughout the process of the case I was involved in. My Case Manager was Blake Sandeen, she was responsive, patient and intelligent; her guidance resulted in a higher settlement for my specific circumstances.

    I cannot say enough about the law firm of Baum Hedlund. I contacted them because my prior firm did absolutely nothing. First off, they are caring and compassionate. I noticed that from the start. My paralegal/case manager, Danielle English, was on my case from the get-go. She listened to my story, to my concerns, and has emailed me frequent updates on my case. If I have any questions, she is available for a call and responds quickly to email. Without hesitation, I would recommend this firm wholeheartedly.

    I couldn’t be more pleased with the law firm Baum Hedlund. They have a diamond with Kirstin Cautillo. This is a complex case that will probably take years to finalize,Kirstin has kept me up to date on the progress faithfully. If I have questions she always is there to answer th. She makes her clients top priority with a warm laugh and top notch service. She has that wonderful trait of always making you feel as if you are the only person in the room , never rushing you. The whole law firm is very professional, I feel I am in good hands.

    I am writing a review of the law firm of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman and attorneys Diane Marger Moore and Ronald Goldman. You see my family and I were struck by the tragedy of the Woolsey Fire in California, which destroyed many homes and personal property along with the loss of human life. They did everything from cataloging and appraisals of the damages that were caused to even visiting I and my family to discuss the case. They were always professional and promptly return my phone calls or E-mails no matter what time I contacted them with questions including weekends. Their response to our case was incredible. I want to thank the whole team at Baum Hedlund for their hard work and wonderful treatment I and my family received from them. So I can only suggest in the strongest possible terms, that if you ever find yourself in need of expert legal representation do yourself a favor and contact Baum Hedlund. You will be glad you did. Your case is just as important to them as it is to you!!! Charles, Robert and Ernest deCiutiis

    Not having any experience with law firms I was a little apprehensive as I had heard that law firms as a whole can be detached and unavailable. I have to say I have been more than pleasantly surprised with my interactions with Baum Hedlund Aristei and Goldman. From the very beginning they have been completely transparent and readily available to answer all of my questions when asked. Kirstin Cautillo whom Ive been working with has been fantastic at answering all of my emails and calls. Ive never waited more than 24 hours to get any of my concerns or questions answered. Kirstin takes the time to make sure that everything is explained in a way that I can understand and has gone above and beyond by reaching out to me and filling me in on the entire process which took away any concerns I had. Kirstin in fact has reached out to me more than I have her which took me by surprise. I would have absolutely zero reservations in recommending Baum Hedlund Aristei and Goldman to anyone who needs a firm that goes the extra mile and really takes the time to make sure the clients feel like they are a part of the team and are informed each and every step of the legal process. Kirstin Cautillo has represented this firm in a way the Baum Hedlund Aristei and Goldman should be very proud of and I have been super lucky to be able to have her working on my case. Thanks guys keep up the great work!!!

    From day one I have found this firm to be very professional. Having never been in a situation like this before I had no idea what to expect. They have assisted me through the process and have shown caring and compassion. A very special thank you to Danielle- for listening, caring, and treating me like family.

    Baum Hedlund is engaged in complex litigation concerning Zantac. They do a good job of keeping clients informed of current progress. Their legal aides make regular contact with the clients to check on their condition and give any updates. I’ve never been involved in this kind of class action litigation before, so I can’t compare to other firms, but I am satisfied with them so far. I have been with them for over a year and understand that this litigation may take several more years.

    Kirstin Cautillo is an absolute gem to work with. She is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and a great listener. She has helped guide me through this difficult time with warmth and understanding. Kirstin listens to all of my concerns and responds very quickly when I telephone or email her. It is a great comfort to know that she cares very deeply about her clients and is passionate about the work she is doing. I am so happy to be working with someone that I can count on. I know that she will always be there for me.

    Learning that my life-threatening cancer was the a result of a product that I used and trusted for decades was shocking particularly since the manufacturer of the product knew for decades that their product contained a known carcinogen and failed to warn faithful consumers like me. After my surgery, my daughter’s research discovered that I had one of thousands of known cases of this particular cancer. She urged me to file a claim against the manufacturer. Baum Hedlund et al was one of the three highly rated law firms I contacted and offered to take my case after doing their due diligence and preliminary investigations. I chose to have Baum Hedlund represent me for too many reasons to enumerate. But I will state a few. I was met with infinite kindness and compassion initially by paralegal Franklin and currently paralegal Danielle. Neither promised me a rose garden. But Danielle helped me organize the myriad of necessary paperwork chronicling my cancer journey for the court filings with seemingly simple ease. Danielle also has timely responses to my phone calls and emails. She sends me updates on my case when necessary and at appropriate intervals. While my case is still in its early stages, I feel confident that Baum Hedlund and attorney Nicole Maldonado will settle my case satisfactorily. This firm has the experience! Thank you to attorney Nicole Maldonado and paralegals Franklin and Danielle.

    Baum Hedlund lawyers, Pedram Esfandiary and Monique Alarcon, are excellent lawyers and amazing people. They treated me and my police misconduct case with care, compassion, and competence from the beginning of our time working together. I’m grateful for and impressed by the service and treatment I received from Pedram, Monique, and the firm, Baum Hedlund. They truly took care of me and went above and beyond in doing so. I am so thankful for them and what they have done not only for me but for all of their clients.

    While my case has been proceeding for several years now paralegal Danielle English has been outstanding in communicating professionally. Danielle has helped me with all documentation and responded to my questions promptly, even though I know she has a lot of other cases to process. Thank you.
