1 /5 Sandra Solanchick: Review of Baghdaserians Law Firm Overpriced, Mismanaged, and Dangerously Unethical
My experience with this law firm has been deeply disheartening, financially draining, and emotionally traumatizing. They charge certified family law specialist rates, yet the majority of the work is outsourced to inexperienced first-year associates who routinely botch essential legal tasks. Despite their inexperience, the firm continues to bill as if the acting partner is personally handling every detail—an insult to any client expecting real legal representation.
The acting partner is a controlling presence, micromanaging where it doesn’t help and delegating critical matters to the least qualified staff. Their strategic decisions—or lack thereof—have consistently caused delays, confusion, and harm to my case.
Most egregiously, in the middle of an urgent crisis involving my personal safety and the well-being of my child, the managing partner refused to assist me unless I paid more money immediately. I was effectively strong-armed at a time of extreme vulnerability. Worse, because he was still officially listed as my attorney of record, I was legally prevented from filing anything on my own to protect my child. I was trapped—abandoned by the very firm I had hired for protection.
To add insult to injury, this firm succeeded in securing an award for their own legal fees and monthly payments from the respondent—but failed to obtain child support, spousal support, or any meaningful protection for me as a domestic violence victim. The respondent has continued to violate court orders without consequence, while these attorneys have done nothing except issue more invoices.
When I asked for answers or clarification, I was met with deflection, evasiveness, and threats that they would drop my case if I continued to push. This firm is not just ineffective—it’s dangerous to vulnerable clients.
If you are a survivor of abuse, or in any sensitive legal situation, I urge you in the strongest possible terms: stay away from this firm. Their priorities are clear—and your safety and justice are not among them.
