Thankful to have met Brian & his firm!

My hard working immigrant korean parents worked hard all their lives coming into the states. All they did was work and family. But after 30 years of business they hit hard times too and legal matters also surfaced. With major debt issues, we didn't know what to do. Being that my parents are unfamilia...r with the court/legal system it was very difficult how to proceed with our financial problem. And doing something like "bankcruptcy" in our culture was considered to be "bad" but it was our only hope to try to figure out our financial mess. We met a wonderful lawyer by a referral but his pricing was very high so he referred us to Ravin Greenberg and met Brian Baker and Chad Friedman. We are so grateful for the referral. I worked closely with Brian and Chad but spent more time with Brian in our case. Brian helped us tremendously and helped save our business and restructure its debt and took the time to explain the process and issues in a way that a non-lawyer can understand. I would ask a million questions and he will explain it so clearly and never made me feel like my questions were insignificant. He gave me answers that didn't leave me more confused but it was always thorough. Our circumstance felt like a huge mountain to climb but Brian made sure we fully understand what was going on and was so positive throughout the whole time. A huge plus. When we were searching for lawyers before some say a flat out "no can't do that or there are no options" but Brian made it feel like "yes" we do have options and lets explore them... So it made us feel safe and gave us breathing room. Thank you Brian!

Very fortunate client to have an attorney of Brian Bakers quality !

I was a client of Brian Baker for about two to three years.He represented me in a bankruptcy case that could have cost me more than necessary.His knowledge and action saved the day for me.He was responsive and advised me to the point that made me feel extremely confident of going forward until the ...case was settled.
