This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A poor client advocate, more so for himself and the State

James Baker filed a civil case on my behalf, then pursued it vigorously and mostly to my satisfaction until shortly before and during trial, when he abruptly requested dismissal of a key defendant wishing to settle, inexplicably abandoned claims/individual defendants and created a plaintiff consequen...ce he withheld from me until too late to rectify. Although I won my major claim, IMO those who benefited most from Baker’s legal strategy were he and my State defendants.

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.
