Divorce after 28yr Marriage

Ben handle a difficult divorce for me that ended a 28 yr marriage. At stake was my 401k, pension, and a recently purchased home valued over 175k. Ben was straight forwarded with me about the division of marital assets in Texas. He asked the hard questions about my character and integrity and how I ...wanted the outcome of the divorce to be, then we made a plan. Ben followed thought on every step we discussed and kept me informed. He is smart , knows his job and how to deal with his adversary's. The result of my hiring Ben was that I maintained 80% of my lifetime of hard work and savings. You need a Lawyer then hire Ben Baker

"Ben is one of the best family law attorneys I know and I’ve learned a lot working with him over the years. It doesn’t matter if he tenaciously fighting for his client on the other side of a case or if we are working on a matter together, his meticulous planning always amazes me."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Baker in one word is simply "advocate." I have been on the opposing side of Mr. Baker, and also used him as a Mediator (another area of his expertise). Mr. Baker is either diligently advocating for his clients as their lawyer, or advocating for a settlement (as a mediator) where every party can feel and view him as a neutral party trying to settle a case, and not "force" a resolution. His knowledge of Family Law is overwhelming. He can recite the Family Code as if it were the Alphabet, and his strategies are top-notch."

"As a fellow attorney and having known Ben for 25+ years, I can say he is a hard working, well researched attorney that will never be outworked in the Courtroom. He is not only very bright, but is a great advocate for his clients. I would not hesitate to hire Ben in either a family law or civil setting."

"I am proud to endorse Ben Baker in the area of Family Law. Early in my legal career I would handle family law cases in Grayson County, Texas. During that time, I knew I had my work cut out for me when Ben Baker was on the other side of the case. Ben Baker is smart, tenacious, and extremely through in his representation of clients. Ben Baker truly separates himself from other lawyers in Grayson County because he understand law. If he doesn't understand the law he takes the time to educate himself to the benefit of his client. I endorse this lawyer."
