Posted by Joshua | July 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Excellent Professional Lawfirm

So I am going to give as much of a detail review and the experiences i have experienced. I retained Mrs Baker for a issue with a very insane and intense child custody case. My ex left my son and me for a another guy and her and her family constantly called Social Services and law enforcement on me no...ne stop with "Child Abuse" accusations. I was cleared of every single accusation by Social Services and Law Enforcement but the calls kept on being made by my ex wife and her family. Then my ex wife retained a lawyer to pursue custody due to me turning her in for the 2nd time for not paying child support. My mental state was not well due to the constant harassment and constant fear I had for my son and myself. Me being a single father and being retired from the military was not a easy thing to go thru in life. I retained Mrs. Baker in 2015, When i retained her, a reasonable message was sent from her law office to my ex wife to keep it civil. The harassment then stopped immediately. The case got completed in 2017, the length of the case being stretched out was at no fault of my attorney but constant delays with the court's judges availability. But every single hearing that occurred in between those two years has met with what I considered a success for me. I been established as primary parent for my son and have since been receiving monthly child support payment from my ex wife with no interruption. Mrs. Baker and her law firm has continuously ensured me and kept my faith alive during the whole ordeal which was not easy for my son and me. With her and her office representing me, I felt no more worries. They have kept me calm when I felt strong irrational or overzealous emotions during the intensity of the whole situation. In the end, in 2017, my case was finally settled without it having to go to court again. Her professionalism and her staff's professionalism was able to have both my ex wife and myself work out a very very sensible outcome that both benefited my son, myself, and even my ex. I provided everything my law office requested from me to help better build my defense as I was the defendant. I did everything i was instructed to do and even though sometimes there may be a period of no communication, they did show to me how they were actively working on my case to avoid constant excessive personal appearance in the court room and office which really help with my high anxiety in the situation. They help me win primary custody of my son and it shows that best gift I can have is knowing I proved I am a good father. The cost was reasonable, and they were able to provide full itemization of everything that was charged to the trust account. I was able to work out a payment arrangement or two with no issue as I was able to follow thru. I ensured to be on time with Mrs. Baker's office as they are always busy with a tight schedule and their service is amazing and I would highly recommend it. They were always on top of everything and they also got a personal feel of what i wanted for my son and myself. I am relieved and very happy and would gladly recommend them to anyone as I was recommended by a personal friend.

Incredible Attorney

I can not say enough nice things about Attorney Baker. She always kept me informed on my case and was very helpful throughout this very difficult time in my life. Mrs. Baker went over and beyond my expectations of an attorney. What a wonderful and helpful staff she has too. I highly recommend her !!...!!

Do not hire her

I hired Christina when my ex started harrassing me. I had to get an ex parte restraining order to protect both my self and my daughter. Christina lead me to believe we would be going for emergency custody. Once we got in court, she completely backed down to my ex's attorney. Christina told me we need...ed to change the restraining order from 50B to Rule 65 or my daughter won't be able to even get vistation rights with her dad. She also told me the 50B couldn't be amended to include supervised visitation, which I later found out it could. After dropping my restraining order, my ex slipped in receiving shared temporary custody and broke the Rule 65 restraining order several times without punishment. She also was horrible about getting documents to you. About the only thing good I can say is she is reasonable with cost. When she had to reschedule court, she did not charge me for another attorney stepping in. This was the beginning of my battle to lose my daughter.
