Super job Heather!

We hired Heather Baker recently for a family matter involving physical and mental abuse, and harassment. At our first meeting she was very kind and compassionate and we immediately felt comfortable with her. Throughout the process she was in good communication with us as to how things were going an...d what to expect in the court room. She did an excellent job presenting our case and was very professional and confident. We are thankful that this resulted in obtaining the Order of Protection that we needed, one that was previously dismissed at an earlier court date, due to evidence that could not be admitted. With Heather’s approach to presenting the needed evidence, the outcome was clear. She did a super job and if we need an attorney in the future we would not hesitate to work with her again.

Great Passionate Attorney

Heather Baker was assigned to me as a PD. I had hired an attorney on a criminal matter regarding my ex. I used his credit card to purchase a ticket for our daughter to fly back to our former home to visit her grandparents. He had me charged with ID theft although I had paid the credit card off les...s than 20 days after I charged it. Well, when my attorney suggested lying (which I knew I could win the case b/c my ex was a proven liar in court) and/or seducing him to drop the charges, I knew I needed a different attorney and entrusted Ms. Baker as my public defender. During my case, she was passionate, caring, determined to do something fair for everyone involved and to ensure that I would not lose my teaching certificate as a result of the action. She communicated with me and was terrific. I put all trust in her and I came out accepting my fault, but as a misdemeanor and thus, no actions toward my career resulted from this (other than losing my initial 65K paying job).

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.
