Top Notch Attorney

I came to Mr. Baker to help me with a very contentious divorce, after working with several attorneys that we’re awful. He stepped up to the plate and helped me tremendously. I was treated with respect and honesty. His knowledge of law and how to maneuver the process of trial was so comforting. I will... continue to recommend Lawrence to everyone that I know.

Amazing

Mr. Baker is hands down the best attorney in the upstate New York area. He has impeccable presence in the court room and is so down to earth during appointments. Helped me with my divorce case and won. Very pleased with him and his work.

A true gentleman and a fantastic lawyer!

Larry Baker has got to be one of the best, if not THE BEST, lawyers in the Rochester area. Larry knows the laws and helps you understand your options in realistic terms. He represented me during my separation, divorce, and helped me with my Will. Not one to lead you astray or give you false hope, Lar...ry will fight like a bulldog to represent you with honesty, integrity, and reliability. In the end, it's his clients who matter most.

Former Client

Larry has represented me on numerous occasions, including my divorce that he won. I cannot say enough great things about the guy--absolutely genuine, highly professional, and cares about his clients. I was able to call him at any point of the day and get my answers and/or concerns met immediately. A ...divorce is not an easy thing to endeavor, yet Attorney Baker did a marvelous job in helping me get through it.
