Phenomal lawyer you can trust

So Mrs. Baker was assigned as a court appointed in Gwinnet however we retained her for a Chatham county case as well. While the Chatham case was for probation violation it weighed heavily on the court appointed case. Mrs Baker was extremely responsive and kept her word in resolving both cases timely.... Even though it was in two different counties she was knowledgeable and honest every step of the way. Plus affordable. Definitely recommend.

Carrie, thank you so much for the review. I really enjoyed getting to know your family. Helping people in distress is the best part of my job. I hope you are all very happy. Please call me if you have any problems in the future.

Great service!

I had a less than 1 oz marijuana charge. After getting Attorney Baker on the case, she walked us through the process of reschedules for court dates as needed , dealt with the prosecuter in advance so I didn't have to speak in front of the judge; no conviction, pre-trial diversion and expungement. She... is also very stylish and personable!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
