Excellent Representation

First off, Emily is compassionate and easy to work with. She is both detail-oriented and focused on the big picture. I appreciated that she remembered details about my case, my priorities, and my goals. She was able to move my case along when there were lags. Emily recommended a great mediator wh...o worked with me and my ex to draft a parenting plan. She promptly responded to my calls and emails. Finally, her knowledge and experience was evident in her advice and drafting of legal documents.

Helpful knowledgeable counsel

I needed someone to walk me thru custody law and provide solid advice, and Emily was perfect. She took time to explain facts, how the court views different matters, and why she was recommending a specific course of action. She drove for a resolution when oppsosing cousel dragged their feet. And she ...remained calm and cool when opposing counsel aimed some low blows. I appreciated having her on my side. It greatly reduced my anxiety. I'll be using her for all custody matters in the future.

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...nes during a long back-and-forth process that I managed since my ex was unrepresented. She was great with strategy, settlement agreement language, parenting schedules, providing me with resources to help educate my ex on my rights, timing, and follow up. As things got closer to agreement and finalization, she was able to effectively and professionally communicate with my ex spouse to get things done without anything becoming tense or litigious, working on my behalf but with him. She helped with complexities of military spousal benefits and rights and took every extra step to ensure the agreement was in place with DEERS so I didn't have to navigate that bureaucracy alone. Emily is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Excellent Lawyer: You won't be dissappointed.

Emily was fantastic navigating me through the legal process of updating the Child Support and Child Custody documents. Emily was very professional, patient, and thorough in guiding me through from start to finish.

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.
