Excellent Advocate & Compassionate

Emily was so easy to work with. She is patient, compassionate, and I always felt heard. She has a great way of focusing on what is truly important, as she helped me rewrite my PSA, which was emotional and messy. I felt like I had a true advocate on my side, and I trusted Emily with helping me navig...ate decisions for myself and my family. I would recommend Emily Baker to everyone I know.

Couldn't recommend Emily more

Emily was a tremendous help for me during a difficult time and a great guidepost for how to (legally) navigate a unique situation. Extremely professional, had me feeling really secure in what type of document we were crafting. I always felt taken care of, heard and prioritized. I always appreciated t...he time Emily took to hear me out, explain legal areas to me in laymans terms and how creative she was in accomplishing what I needed to get done.

Outstanding Representation

Divorce is a difficult process, even when it's needed. Emily provided outstanding service, expertise, and strategy throughout. I felt well represented, like I had a fighter on my side, and she stood tall through each step of the process. My personal circumstances (what should have been a simple, ...cut and dry proceeding) were made more complicated and difficult by my ex-spouse and her attorney's obstructionist attitudes. Emily managed those difficulties with superb negotiation, and got the settlement agreement that I needed. Any review would be incomplete without mentioning the personal side of her representation. Emily's empathy, sensitivity, and good humor lessened the pain of the process. She paid special attention to avoiding unnecessary costs as well. Any client would be wise to select Emily Baker.

The Best

Emily was wonderful in helping navigate my separation and divorce! She was recommended to me by another industry professional-- I visited her when recently separated and she was very empathetic and kind. She is extremely knowledgeable, and was tough and resolute when she needed to be. I always felt t...hat she was prepared, especially in the final divorce when we were at court. She was also very thoughtful when it came to the cost of her services and absolutely felt like I got excellent value and service. I would recommend her to anyone-- I had a great experience and walked away from my divorce very happy.

Highly Recommend

I was referred to this firm by a friend who had previously worked with Alice & had a fantastic experience with both the firm and Ms. Alice. When I contacted the firm to book my initial consultation with her, she was on sick leave and was directed to Ms. Baker. I am so glad everything worked out the w...ay it did. As soon as I was done with my initial consultation regarding child custody, I felt so at ease with her and my case. I had no doubt I wanted to retain her to represent me during this highly emotional time of my life. Ms. Baker, truly cares about her clients and was always upfront with me and kept me updated on everything. She helped me navigate from court filing to mediation and getting me all that I asked for and more that I didn’t even know I was entitled to. I could go on and on about Ms. Baker, but all in all I highly recommend her legal services. She’s truly a professional and will work with you to help settle the matter out of the court, but isn’t afraid to help you through litigation if your case requires. I appreciate that she worked to help me settle this during mediation and eliminate the cost of litigation.
