Jackie Baker- Professional, Responsive

Jackie helped me acquire funds for contracted work that had been completed and delivered. Without Jackie's help I may have never been paid for my work which took place over several months. Jackie was responsive, professional and got me the appropriate end result that I was looking for. I will work wi...th Jackie anytime I need her professional experience.

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.
