Horrible

Horrible lawyer! Fails to return calls, emails and his main focus is money not his client. I’d never again hire him or recommend him to anyone! Doesn’t respond to calls or emails once he’s been paid. Can’t keep track of basic information. The staff is much the same. Lack of communication! I would n...ever pay a dime to this layer again, he’s not worth the money or the time!

Would never hire again!

Paid to have our will done, then left important medical documents with Mr.Baker and we were told they would be 100% safe in his care and not to worry. He referred us to another law firm for the medical issue and we never got one call back from that lawyer so I tried multiple times to get our medical ... documents back and they claim they sent them by UPS to this other lawyer. The other lawyer has not and does not have them as we’ve spoken several times. Mr.Baker not only lost the ONLY copy we had of these medical documents but doesn’t bother to take responsibility for it or mailing them to this other attorney without our permission. They haven’t returned calls or emails in regards to the location of these papers! My parents had trouble getting things handled properly when they used him to do their wills. NEVER AGAIN and we would NEVER send anyone to him!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
