Exceptional Attorney

Alysia represented me in my complex divorce. My husband and I own a business together that we needed to value and divide. She understood the complexities of both the business valuation and tax issues. She also broke it down for me so that I could understand everything and spent the time with me tha...t I needed. She understood my needs and wants and helped me through a very difficult time. I would strongly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. I disagree with the comments about billing. My bill was so much less than my husbands and she did a lot of work without billing me.

Divorce

Alysia provided exceptional legal services throughout my divorce process in a strategic, solution-oriented, and supportive manner. With twenty five-plus years of experience she has the wisdom and sophistication to understand how to litigate for her clients with zealous advocacy, while recognizing the... benefit of resolving disputes to save her clients the expense, burden, and emotional drain of proceeding with litigation. And if your case turns out to be litigious, as mine did, she has superior skills to fight and win. In a nutshell, she is competent, knowledgeable of all aspects of family law, professional and not someone you want representing your adversary.

Thank God for Alysia Baker

I was going nowhere with my divorce when a friend of mine recommended Alysia to take on my case. Thank God I switched to Alysia. She is such a knowledgeable, excellent, experienced negotiator and divorce attorney. I might not know what was her strategy and I kept calling her assistant about my case. ...I was a pain-in-the-butt, but she did not abandon me. Looking back now and I begin to understand what she was doing. She's at her best when she was negotiating and defending me. It was like watching a court room drama. The opposite side didn't even know what hit them. She is such a good attorney. she is worth waiting for.

Brilliant, dedicated attorney- highly recommend!

Alysia R. Baker and her office took a real challenge when accepting to take my case in August of 2011. We were not only up against my husband in this divorce, we were also against my vindictive, powerful, and wealthy father in law. Alysia and I were always having something thrown at us from my fat...her in laws attorneys, although nothing Ms. Baker couldn't handle. I know she worked days, nights, weekends, even holidays, and vacation time to win my case. She always gave mesmerizing appearances leaving my side with a positive feeling. She was always up against testimony from top New York City experts but was never rattled by them. In fact she turned out to be the expert causing the opposing side much distress. Watching Alysia in court was better than watching a movie. She is a fighter until the end. She does not squander her clients' money. Alysia is detailed, takes amazingly accurate notes, and has a photogenic memory. Thus saving the expense of ordering multiple transcripts unlike the opposing side. Alysia is a brilliant attorney who is on top of her game, I would highly recommend her.

Great Attorney

Alysia has been my attorney since 2003 when I hired her as my divorce attorney. She fought for me throughout my matter. I often wanted to give up because my x husband dragged the matter along , he went as far as to pick out a jury to contest grounds. She tried to keep costs down and discussed with m...e various options for settlement. She has helped me with all follow up work for my divorce. Her staff is wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable attorney willing to fight for what is fair.
