The Best

Mr. Baker and his team assisted me with a restraining order and I could not recommend them enough. I went to a different office at first and was given the run around after paying for their service during a very stressful and scary time. When I called Mr. Baker's office, they immediately squeezed me i...n for a consultation. From then on, I knew I was in good hands. His paralegal Christine is excellent with the paperwork and is on top of everything. At the hearing, Mr. Baker ran laps around the other lawyer. He was calm, confident, well prepared, and very thorough. I appreciate the support and professionalism given by his office- they are also doing my divorce case and again, I highly recommend them.

Extremely Grateful

I was referred to this Law firm by word of mouth. I unexpectedly found myself in need of legal counsel for a Child custody case. I was lost, overwhelmed and did not know who to trust. I called the office and was scheduled immediately. Once I met with Mr. Baker, I knew right then and there he would d...efinitey look out for the best interest of my children and myself. I can honestly say the office was always there to pick up my call and always was very pleasant. I have prevailed in court to date and can proudly say that I am "Extremely Grateful" for Mr. Baker and his expertise in Family Law. I am happy to share my success story and recommend The Law Offices of Mr. Heath Baker.

Great Family Law Attorney

Heath Baker took my case at the last minute and is amazing. He was focused on my children and the situation at hand. Great advice and very fair. Answered all my questions quickly and was always available.

Extremely Effective Family Law Representation

Mr. Baker did a wonderful job for me on my child custody case in May of 2013. I was able to retain Mr. Baker only two days before my hearing, and he was able to work my hearing into his schedule and fully represent me and my interests. Mr. Baker's effective representation persuaded the judge to give ...me overnight visitation with a newborn infant, and after the hearing he took the time to explain further steps I need to undertake to fully resolve my case to my satisfaction. I feel that this attorney's personal experience, fast response time, excellent representation, and flexibility with his client's financial circumstances make him an ideal choice for anyone needing assistance with family law in Riverside County. I did not know if I was going to hire an attorney or not for my action, but one visit with Mr. Baker put me at ease about my case. I highly recommend scheduling one of his free consultations if you are considering the services of a family law attorney in Riverside.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Baker takes a unique approach to dealing with family law matters. Often times, family law attorney's appear to be disinterested in their clients emotional needs. Mr. Baker will take the time to help you see past your emotions in order to help you understand Family law and how it will affect the outcome of your case.
