Sentiment Analysis
My family and I were kept informed every step of the way and Baker Act Attorneys did what needed to be done to get my cousin out of harms way.
With out the help of this attorney she still be there because of our quality insurance
It’s quite a long story and I’ll spare everyone from the details, but I will say that Mark was the best attorney I have hired.
Within a few hours of contacting him, he and his team had the situation under control.
Although the hospital had filed a Petition for Placement and a hearing before the court was set for that Thursday, that did not deter Mark from using all of his tools to secure my wifes release in the interim...
Expensive - but you get what you pay for - VERY SATISFIED.
Jarred, Kathleen, Mark and Lewis were very helpful and went above and beyond to help our family member be released from a Behavioral facility under a Baker Act.
Mark did an amazing job working after-hours on a Friday evening to help get my mother released on the same day I initially reached out to him.
We appreciate all the work they do for people who experience what can be an unjust system and loss of rights for a person in crisis.
This was a horrible and frightening process but thank God we found Attorney Mark Astor, he immediately showed compassion, took charge and made us feel like we were in great hands.
