BEST LAWYER EVER!

I have had the pleasure of working with Nicholas Baker for the past 2 years. Within that time, Nick helped me with my divorce, custody and child support. After our initial meeting I knew this was the only lawyer I could trust. He treated me as if I was his only client and gave me undivided attentio...n. He was always there to help me and keep me calm though this difficult time. He is very professional, trustworthy, honest and kind. Nick was so responsive to my concerns and panic attacks through out this whole process. I don't think there will ever be enough words to describe how grateful I am for all he has done for me and my family. Thank you Nick, you truly are one in million!

God's blessing!

Atty. Baker is very trustworthy and reliable. He is very true to what he promised and he'll never leave you no matter what. He helped me with my divorce problem which was so scary for me at first given very limited resources. God sent Nick, and I am very , very thankful He gave me a responsible and... compassionate lawyer...and so handsome too!

DIvorce

I am super late writing this review but I was able to do everything in Mr Baker's response. He told me the exact forms I would need to do it myself. My divorce was successful and went without a glitch. Thank you soooo much!

Caring, responsible and accommodating

Mr. Baker was very helpful and assisted me in my divorce. He was available to answer all of my questions day or night and explained every step in the process and all at a very affordable rate. I highly recommend Mr. Baker for your legal needs.

Excellent Experience

Nick was an excellent advocate for me throughout the entire divorce process. He kept on top of things and was able to negotiate a settlement that was very fair and worked well for my situation. He was also very approachable when I had questions about the status of the case or any details both before ...and after filing the divorce. I would highly recommend Nick for anyone looking for personalized, helpful advice during the divorce process.

"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!"

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.
