Lanham Blackwell & Baber, P.A. Profile & Reviews

I hired Brett Baber to represent me in a high profile, very public, employment matter. He came highly recommended by several other employment law attorneys who I had called, but who could not represent me because of conflicts. Their recommendation was spot on and taking their recommendation turned out to be the best decision –; no question. I was impressed with Mr. Baber from the very first contact. He returned my call promptly and was “on the case” considering options and giving me solid advise from the very beginning. Mr. Baber assisted me through the human resource investigative interview process and then immersed himself, his knowledge, and his talents in defending my interests. He prepared the paperwork that would be necessary to file a 1st Amendment action in Federal Court and prepared other lawsuit documents. Ultimately, neither were necessary as he, instead, shifted gears when appropriate and became aa advocate and negotiator on my behalf. Over a three month period, he negotiated a very appropriate and beneficial settlement for me with my employer and helped me clear my name. During the entire process, he was extremely responsive and returned calls or answered emails promptly, sometimes even on evenings or weekends. Mr. Baber was always professional, never aloof or short. He is a genuinely nice guy who can play hardball and fight if needed. He continually considered my options and opinions while patiently dolling out sage advise. Most importantly, he never wavered from his focus to get the best outcome for me, and he always providing excellent counsel toward that end.

Our company is a building construction specialty trade subcontractor. We often get involved in complex technical contractual matters which are difficult to resolve through contract clauses alone. At project completion, collecting the final retainage balance due us, previously withheld from us with each monthly progress payment, can be extremely difficult to collect after these contract disputes have arisen through no fault of our own. Brett Baber already understands the building construction process and contracts, so Brett is ready to hit the ground running for our company when problems arise. Brett has repeatedly proven himself to be very effective, innovative, and successful, in helping our company resolve these contract disputes, and final payment matters; thereby allowing our company to collect all of the funds earned and due us. Brett Baber has provided our company with superior expert legal services. Working together with Brett on our team, enables us to continue to deliver a job well done!

We reside in California and were served for an action in Maine regarding a dog. After contacting a half dozen attorneys in Maine who refused to help us in the matter, we found Brett. He immediately calmed our fears and provided the concern and support necessary for us to respond and proceed with our defense. Although I’m sure we overly pestered him, he showed us nothing but kindness and responsiveness. We received updates and status regularly. His knowledge and experience helped us attain a favorable conclusion to the process. Five Stars for Brett.
