Excellent Experience
I interviewed a few law firms before I decided upon Thomas Baker. As soon as I walked into his office I knew I made the right decision. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He replies to any emails promptly, within minutes usually. He kept me up to date with all developments. I was very confident I would win my case with Baker representing me, and I did. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great worker
This man is very good. He kept me informed every step of the way, I was never in the dark. Made whole process easy to understand, and did not quit until favorable agreement was reached. Very passionate man. My kids have no more worry about us being sent back for doing nothing wrong. Thank you Mr Baker!

Mr Baker initially gave me some great advice through Avvo. I then hired him to deal with my immigration case, which he done in a very professional, friendly manner. Kept me informed at every stage and was there whenever I had questions about my case. He knew exactly what he was talking about and made me feel very happy and comfortable with everything he was doing for me. I know have my Green Card. I would Highly recommend Mr Baker to anyone in the Bay Area and looking for an immigration attorney . You will not be disappointed in the service he provides.

Simply an excellent attorney
Tom helped me with advice on a misclassification labor dispute. While this is not his specialty, he was able to give me sound advice and put me in connection with associates that handled my case perfectly. I found Tom to be an exceptionally passionate and well connected lawyer and would recommend him to anyone.

Real Solid Advice
Thomas was outstandingly helpful when I needed it. Although he is a new lawyer, he is still a great lawyer. He is always willing to pull up a sturdy one, listen to your issue, and provide you with a real solid plan. I've been represented by other lawyers who were just a little groggy. Not Thomas. He's is a sharp guy.

Tom comes through in a pinch.
Open, honest, and responsive. He was there for not only consultation, but provided me good, hoest courses of action.

A Pleasure to Work With
Mr. Baker was referred to me by a friend. He was able to provide me with a consultation very quickly, and provided me with clear, realistic, and helpful advice.
His confidence helped me to feel at ease, and had my issue gone to court, I would have been confident having Mr. Baker on my side.
