She is awful and will take all your money and do no work and will avoid your phone call. If you speak with her on the phone she is billing her hourly fee, unbeknownst to you. I took her to the Geaorgia Bar and won my case. Evil women, almost lost my mind behind this unethical women. Refused to give me my files and I had to hire another attorney. I was out of $7,500 dollars. She does not care if you need a roof over your head for you and your children, she will try and take your property, too. Trying to collect for hours she worked but you never get a bill for what was done. She looked really stupid at our hearing with the Georgia Bar. They are aware of her shenanigans. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.........Evil and deceptive RID: 209370
Click to report rating    5/23/16   1     1     1     1     1   A high price and a B I G ego! NO HELP WHATSOEVER, lies, does not return calls. Lack of character, sending different attorney to court, she was a no show and never called us to explain any thing. She really would be doing people a favor by retiring . What a phoney! There's a reason she cannot keep attorneys . Don't go to her. She's dangerous!gnh RID: 169567
Click to report rating    10/15/15   1     1     1     1     1   13 Years ago, my son paid Carol Baskin $1,100 as a retainer for a divorce. After paying the retainer, he was told by Attorney Baskin, due to he could not furnish a forwarding address on the person he was attempting to divorce, she would not proceed with the action and also did not refund the $1,100.00 he paid in retainer fees. I realize 13 years has gone by, but it is difficult to forget what Carol Baskin did to my family. If she will do it to him, I am sure he is not the only one, or the last one. My son had to pay another attorney and never heard from Carol Baskins office again. They just kept his $1,100.00. RID: 160469
Click to report rating    8/9/15   1     1     1     1     1   I researched and hired Dawn Baskin who did an amazing job. That is until she "left" the firm "to further her career." I was then dealt to Carol Baskin. Unfortunately I did not research her thinking she's Dawn's mom, she's got to be good. How wrong was I. Carol Baskin is nothing but a lazy money hungry so called attorney. She demanded useless information (not even pertinent to the case), the unexplained billing came next. Then finally my day in court shows up. The judge called my case,she stands up and tells the judge I wanted something that I did not. After 3 years I think my jaw is still laying on the floor. She then spent hours telling me this is what I wanted. I hired her to do a job, she did nothing but OVERCHARGE and UNDERWORK. $8500 and 10 months later I was still nowhere. Needless to say...I fired a TERRIBLE ATTORNEY! I paid what I could on my bill (as a single mom of 3)over the years and all Carol did was threaten to put a lien on my house. Now its paid and well..don't choke. RID: 157913
Click to report rating    12/5/14   2     2     1     1     1   Gives lawyers a bad name. Gave away 80% of my assets to my ex-wife. Billed me over $100,000 with multiple over billings. Don't run away from Baskin and Baskin.....Sprint at break neck speed. Absolute thieves led by the Queen thief, Carol Baskin. RID: 147208
Click to report rating    2/11/13   5     1     3     4     1   I have been waiting for my final bill before I posted. I realized way too late that I had chosen badly, but felt stuck. I told Carol that I needed her to be a bull dog for me but the only one she was a bull dog for was herself. The law was on my side regarding property, and child custody was a no brainer. She strung out the proceedings for three years. Carol isn't interested in her clients or their well being. They are a means to her good end. Specifically, Carol was rude, condescending, and intimidating to me. She has no people or verbal communication skills. The billing has no detail so you cannot reconcile what was actually done. I cannot express all my displeasure at dealing with this woman in 1000 words so I will not start. Just please read these posts and look at the common thread and run as fast as you can to another attorney. RID: 100617
     1/1/13   3     2     1     2     1   It has been a number of years since Carol Basking represented me. My previous negative review apparently is too old to be in this list. My experience is similar to those posting here, I was grossly over charged, $28000 for contempt compliance action. Advised by other attorneys that I was poorly represented. I was threatened with a suit for a final bill for activities occurring after making it clear I was unhappy with the prior billings, legal performance, and results. Not only would I not recommend her or her firm, I would advise anyone currently represented to cut their losses and find a new attorney. Had I done so I believe I would have saved 10-15000 and gotten better service and results. Carol talks a good game to get you in the door and you are rapidly passed off to the rotating group of inexperienced attorneys that stay a short time at the firm and leave after having to deal the multitude of dissatisfied clients. If you think you are hiring an experienced attorney in Carol RID: 97564
     7/29/11   3     1     1     1     1   Carol plays GOD! Broke all promises. Deliberately took ZERO evidence case against me & turned it into a multi trial money making nightmare. She ignored & refused to talk to EVERY SINGLE witness after instructing me to have them call her. After playing GOD, I gave her WRITEN instructions duplicating HER own game plan & she refused. Georgia Bar states, MUST follow our instructions. I asked questions about why she did NOT do as promised in court & she refused to answer. When she wants your $, she is nice, then is ugly, smart mouthed, rude (including too witnesses) & puts you down. Carol even retaliates & did to me when she helped opposing attorney write order NOT agreed on & would hurt my family. Everything here on money is true too. She spends ~ $2000 - $3000 a day! She will try & get EVERYONE (GALs, Forensic Investigators, Doctors, etc…) she can involved for $. “Shark frenzy” I knew this game & said NO! So she added it to her court order as part of her revenge. Fired pronto! RID: 49354
Click to report rating    12/3/09   5     1     5     1     1   She has the legal knowledge & tenacity, but at this time in her life has determined to be judge & jury. She no longer listens to her client, reminds them she's the attorney and refuses to communicate or answer questions concerning the case, inflates her bill needlessly, and overall does not protect her client. Understand that this is my personal experience with this attorney and may not be your experience. Since I got no explainations from her for her actions this is my determination. Knowing that I was treated this way there will be and have been others. RID: 24894
