This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Thoughtful and Thorough

Over 30 years in business - and some creditor disputes were wearing me down. Some complex IP matters at stake, and I was almost ready to cave, Michael Baker had my back with not just ideas, but solution based advice and multiple ways to achieve those goals. Is honest, and is forthright about op...tions. TBH, at this point in my life I appreciate blunt and thoughtful advice. Delivered.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

incredibly smart, strategic-thinking, client-focused attorney

Michael is a former colleague who I’ve known for over twenty-six years in the legal community. He works diligently for his clients, first to understand their needs and/or issue, and then assumes a results-driven approach. He does not get sidetracked by the distractions that other attorneys often do... and achieves efficient, successful outcomes. Michael is first and foremost a strategic thinker. He has counseled some of the largest banks and companies in the world on finance-related legal issues, making the complex appear straightforward. When it comes to finance attorneys, there really is nobody better.

Good service

Michael assisted with a business separation and formation of a new business. Every step he sent helpful memos to outline what needed to happen next and surprised me at how responsive he was evenings and weekends. I would use him again.

Kind and honest

I was in a dispute with a former business partner and needed to determine whether it was worth the cost of pursuing legal action. I didn't want to run up a huge legal bill but wanted advice I could trust. Michael was understanding and honest and ultimately saved me a lot of headache for something th...at wasn't likely to be worth the cost. I appreciated his honesty.
