Quick and efficient uncontested divorce

Nicholas was very professional and thorough. I genuinely believe he cares about his clients. He responds quickly to answer question.

Goes the extra mile :)

I hired Mr. Baker to process my divorce paperwork and motions. He was very detailed orientated, and made sure I had all the correct documents and how to file. His job in theory was done. I can't tell you how many times afterwards I called him, and he always answered my questions or concerns right ...away. He didn't have to. A divorce is never an easy thing to have to deal with, but dealing with Mr. Baker made a rough transition so much easier. I would give him 10 stars if this system would allow me too. I know if he did all that for me, and he just prepared my motions, I am sure he is even more diligent if he represents you in court. Thank you so much.

Found him on a random search

I found Mr. Baker on a random divorce lawyer search on google. After talking with him on the phone and then meeting him in person to discuss the details of the case he got to work right away for me. After a lot of back and forth between and my spouse we decided to stay married and without a hitch Mr.... Baker put all the correct paperwork into order and got it all dropped for me. Very knowledgable about the law and very good about returning phone calls and emails. Don't hesitate to contact him for any need you might have. Thanks again sir.

Best. Lawyer. Ever.

I could not be more satisfied with the help I received from Nick! Since my divorce was relatively amicable, I hired him to put together the paperwork for me only. I assumed for the extremely reasonable price he provided a stack of papers would be all I got. Wrong! He included an invaluable step ...by step guide of where to go, who to talk to, and exactly what to say. He also spent time with me walking me through it in even more detail, including (extremely accurate) descriptions of some of the people I would be interacting with along the way. He was responsive from start to finish, answering my questions by email and phone extremely quickly. I could not have done this without him and neither should you!

Kind, Responsive and Compassionate

Attorney Baker showed himself to be a kind, responsive and compassionate attorney while handling my divorce. My case was extremely contentious, made even more difficult because at the time I had two teenage sons. From the first time I spoke with Attorney Baker until the last time we spoke, during... those two years, he was never anything but kind, responsive, compassionate and always there for me when I needed him. He is very well versed and experienced with family law which was critical as there were complex child custody/child support issues to deal with. I dealt with a few lawyers prior to finding Attorney Baker and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Nick Baker since my first day in law school. Just as then, Mr. Baker continues to provide expert guidance on a wide range of legal matters. His ability to see through complex or downright esoteric issues of law is a gift. Many of my client's have thought so also. I've recommended Mr. Baker's services for several years and not a single client was unhappy with Mr. Baker's legal knowledge or services. Needless to say, I endorse Mr. Baker."

"After reading Attorney Baker's informative guides, I feel an absolute need to endorse this lawyer. In my own practice, I find it incredibly important as an experienced attorney, to provide as much education and information to my clients and potential clients on a variety of topics. I am also thrilled to see that Mr. Baker's guides show as much of his desire to educate and protect people as much as they are to "get the case." Top notch!"
