A Pleasure to Work With

I have worked with Ethan Baker for several years on various issues. He is very knowledgeable, ethical, honest and trustworthy. In regards to all associations and correspondence, I find him to be patient and understanding and I have always been more than satisfied with the end result. I would recom...mend Ethan Baker to anyone needing legal advice or representation.

I have hired Ethan in the past for some of my own legal concerns, but most recently hired him to work with my parents to help them navigate some legal questions they had regarding their estate and health issues. He handled their needs with appropriate concern, patience and compassion and properly an...d swiftly resolved their questions and gave them confidence in his advice. I trust Ethan's knowledge and handling of the law and have enthusiastically recommended him to both friends and family and will continue to do so.

Lawyer with impeccable turnaround time.

Presently, Ethan is working on several legal projects that are crucial to the day to day operation of my company. Ethan has handled the incorporation, trademark, policies, contracts, and consultation for all my legal requirements. I shopped around and tested with many attorneys, Ethan Baker by... far was the best choice I could have made. He immediately impressed me with his knowledge and how personable he is. He has been very respectful of my budget and in my opinion has never over billed me for his time. In addition, his turnaround time is impeccable and I always feel that I am a top priority. I have now incorporated 2 companies through Ethan Baker.

Legal Guru

Ethan Baker provided excellent advice and execution of the overwhelming task of planning and implementing all of the tasks involved of starting a business. He provided extensive insight on the best course of action for my specific needs. Ethan Baker incorporated my company in California and was a...ble to have it done way faster than anticipated. I have worked directly with him to have specific Terms of Service policies created for my online business. Ethan Bakers knowledge of several state specific laws are a great advantage to my company.

Simplified a complex process

Ethan has handled a variety of legal issues for us during the past few years. From our own estate planning to legal issues involving aging parents - even a trespassing problem on some property we own out of state. Ethan is easy to work with, carefully identifying and explaining the legal aspects in...volved and then clearly outlining a recommended course of action. My husband and I have great confidence in his handling of the law, his accurate document preparation, and the personal interest he has in not only protecting our rights and wishes, but doing so in a comfortable, friendly way. We have recommended Ethan to numerous friends and family and will continue to do so with great enthusiasm.
