This private attorney is a godsend and promises no lies. I had obtained him after be hit with a 1st degree felony and having a previous criminal background, he was able to work a deal between the state attorney and the judge that I was able to achieve to earn my probation. Now I am being accused of a vop 5 years into my 7 year probation period and need help once again to prove my innocence under extraordinary circumstances. To whom am I going to turn to? None other than Ron Baum.

This was a felony case that involved 6 probation violations as well as a warrant for absconding to another state while on probation. This looked bleak. Not only was my fiancee considered a fugitive he owed a large sum of money to the courts including the cost of extradition which is charged to the fugitive. So restitution costs plus extradition cost almost totaled 12 grand. He was able to convert the restitution and the cost of extradition to a civil case and my fiance will be able to walk
