Emily Baker is a family law attorney based in Northern Virginia who primarily serves clients in Fairfax County, Arlington County, the City of Alexandria, Loudoun County and Washington, D.C. With a focus on separation and divorce, including complex and high-net-worth family law matters, Emily believes in the importance of listening carefully to her clients as they develop their goals.
“I value being able to really be there for someone during what’s often one of the most difficult experiences in their life, helping them problem solve and guiding them toward a better future,” she says.
Depending on the unique circumstances of each case, Emily assists her clients through negotiation, mediation and/or litigation. As a proponent of Collaborative Divorce and a trained mediator, she advocates for a process grounded in mutual respect. Her approach is deeply collaborative, seeking her clients’ input to achieve realistic solutions. However, she also says, “I will fight to the end for someone being wronged and that has a basis in the law for what they’re seeking.”
From the initial meeting to the conclusion of their case, Emily is a zealous advocate for her clients. Understanding the emotional and uncertain journey of divorce, she works closely with each client to maintain focus on what truly matters. She brings empathy, attention to detail and creative strategies to work towards securing the best possible outcomes.
Emily earned her law degree from Washington and Lee University School of Law in Lexington, Va. Following her education, she clerked for one year for the Honorable Robert J. Smith of Fairfax County Circuit Court and clerked for a second year for the Honorable Bruce D. White, Chief Judge of the Fairfax County Circuit Court. Both these experiences helped hone her advocacy skills.
Today, Emily is proud to be part of a sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional family law firm that provides clients with exceptional resources to resolve challenging family issues. She also serves as a board member on the Fairfax County Bar Association Board and is the volunteer coordinator for the Fairfax Law Foundation’s Annual 5k.
Emily lives in Arlington, Va., with her husband and daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, spending time outdoors and traveling.

Patient, thoughtful, approachable, responsive, and awesome
Emily met with me first in 2018 when I was just exploring separation and my legal position, and I was able to process without pressure. She stayed in touch through 2019 and was patient as I navigated all the negotiating with my now-ex. When we started in earnest, Emily was great for me behind the sce...

Great divorce lawyer
Emily helped me in the exact ways I needed in my divorce. I did all the negotiating with my now-ex and consulted with Emily behind the scenes on strategy, settlement agreement language, timing and whatever else I needed. She gave me great advice, and even gently told me when she thought my ex was m...

Wonderful!
Emily went above and beyond in helping me with my divorce. She was sensitive, communicative, quick, and listened to and answered every one of my silly questions. As far as I'm concerned, I could not have asked for someone better to assist me with a process as emotional as this. Thank you, Emily!

Fantastic divorce lawyer
I cannot say enough good things about Emily. I worked with her for a almost a year and a half from my first consultation with her, trying to determine whether divorce would be financially sustainable for me, all the way through to the judgment of absolute divorce. I was a complete mess and Emily was ...
