This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Fast response.

Mr. Baker was fast with his responses and was clear about what he could do and how much it would cost.

My goal is to make my services transparent. When possible I use "flat fees" so you know what you can expect and how much it will cost before we start.

Al did a wonderful job with my case!!!!

Al was available when needed, and went the extra mile to do what was best for my case and the outcome. He is very personable and professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is faced with a personal injury claim that needs a lawyer! Top Notch!!!!

Thank you. I try to give every case my full attention. Since I work alone, when you hire me you get my full attention. Your case is never handed off to an assistant or junior attorney.

A+ Recommended

Al Baker was recommended to me by a relative, and not having ever hired an attorney before, I didn't know what to expect. Immediately I had the impression of professionalism balanced with personability. Al asked all the right questions, made sure in no uncertain terms that I knew my options and respo...nsibilities, and did no less than what I hired him for. From a Misdemeanor B charge to a three month deferred imposition (down from a suggested twelve!), Al carried me through the circuitous American legal system, and I'd recommend his services to anyone for the same.

Thank for your comment. A referral from a prior client is a precious thing. First I listen then I ask for details and clarification so I understand your problem and your goals.

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.
