Trusts done right

My wife and I cannot recommend Mr Baker more highly. We were so concerned about setting up a trust and Mr. Baker answered all of our questions, he is a great listener and highly knowledgeable. He put everything in simple terms that we could understand. The office staff were very helpful and made y...ou feel very welcome. We recommended Mr Baker to other people who live in our village. Thank you Mr.Baker for all of your help, you put our minds at ease.

Jonathan Baker Is Very Responsive

We needed documents within 3 days because of life threatening surgery. We had asked my doctor what I could do to prepare for the surgery and he printed out instructions on how to get to the law firm that Jonathon works at. Our financial advisor also said that his law firm was most likely to complete... the documents prior to the surgery. Jonathon accepted our challenge to complete the documents within the timeframe desired without complaint. I was amazed with his ability to remember details and to produce accurate products. He is very easy to talk to and when interfacing with him he gave me confidence that he understood our desires. He produced multiple documents for us and we are very pleased with their quality. His knowledge of Florida law is very detailed. I highly recommend him.

Jonathan Baker, Attorney

Due to the change of laws and at a very emotional time in my life, I had to have my trust re-written. I asked a friend who he recommended and he suggested I call Jonathan Baker. Jonathan was wonderful; knowledgeable, efficient, prompt, patient, and compassionate. As a result, I have already recomme...nded him to others who have also used him. I highly recommend Jonathan Baker.

Great attorney! Answered all of our questions and explained everything in detail along the way!

Jonathan helpfully guided my wife and me through a somewhat confusing process to individuals that are not aware of all the documents needed to ensure our child is taken care of if something was to happen to us. We thought that all you needed was a piece of paper that said: "hey... this is who we want... to take care of our child..." This is exactly why you Jonathan Baker to walk you through the process to ensure your wishes are clearly stated and your family is able to operate easier if something happens. Jonathan explained everything in great detail and always asked if we had any questions to ensure we fully understood the documents. I recommend Jonathan with enthusiasm and have full confidence in his abilities as he is always working hard to take care of his clients.

  • 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.
