Great Experience

Emily was incredibly helpful in the process of negotiating my pre-nuptial agreement. She saved me from a process that had already taken a year and a half with another lawyer. She got it done in about 3 months and on top of that was always available when I needed her (even last minute) and always made... sure I understood everything perfectly. Hiring a lawyer can be expensive, but Emily never made me feel like she was on the clock and never made me pay more than the absolute least amount to get the job done. Highly recommend!

Top Caliber Client-Centric Attorney

If you are looking for a top caliber lawyer that is reasonable and understands her clients' needs, then Ms. Baker should be your top choice. I recently worked with Ms. Baker in the drafting, negotiation and execution of a pre-marital agreement; a situation that is often very difficult to navigate. ...She was responsive, extremely thorough and her zealous advocacy always took in to consideration the outcomes I desired. As a fellow lawyer, I have experienced many situations in which zealous advocacy has served only to further frustrate relations and outcomes for clients. And while zealous advocacy is often intended to achieve the best result for the respective client, it can have the opposite effect and drive parties further apart. Ms. Baker took the time to understand what I wanted and the results I sought to achieve. She was measured in her approach, and while her counsel always contemplated a best case scenario for me, it was balanced with an understanding of the outcomes I communicated to her I sought to achieve, irrespective of whether those outcomes were most advantageous to me. Ms. Baker is high caliber client-centric lawyer and an expert in this practice area. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal services in this space.

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.

Excellent guidance

Emily gave me the confidence and perspective needed to navigate my divorce. I am 77 and though my decision to divorce was clear, it was not easy to do at this time in our lives. Emily was both firm and understanding whenever I got frustrated during the process. She is knowledgeable and professiona...l, explained her recommendations from both legal and her client experience. She is strong and compassionate and I benefited greatly for choosing her for my attorney.

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Emily! She was professional, answered any questions promptly, friendly and trustworthy. I really appreciated how efficient she was with her time and billing on my uncontested divorce, and made a very difficult life change go seamlessly from the legal side.
