My husband and I are so glad we found Baker & Baker to handle our guardianship case. We were concerned that the process for transferring a guardianship case from another state and getting it approved in Texas would be a difficult and long process. Mr. Baker and his paralegal, Hailey Hale were wonderful. They were constantly keeping us updated on the progress and took the time to answer any questions we had. After dealing with 3 different attorneys in another state, Baker & Baker was a breath of fresh air. Their professionalism and compassion for what we were dealing with was so appreciated. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I know the next time we need legal advice we will be making a call to them again.

Baker & Baker Attorneys at Law provided outstanding service to both my husband and me. They prepared a total of ten legal documents for us with accuracy, professionalism, and attention to detail. Every interaction was courteous, and communication was clear throughout the process. We appreciated their efficiency and the time they took to ensure everything was completed correctly. Highly recommend Baker & Baker for anyone needing trustworthy and dependable legal support.

I learned of Baker & Baker through a presentation they gave at the Mirador recently on senior law, They explained the need for a will, a medical power of attorney and a financial power of attorney. I needed review of all 3 of these so I made an appointment with them and within a month, had new versions of all three. They were pleasant, easy to work with, carefully explaining each step of the way with me, and reasonably priced.

We had a wonderful experience working with Charles (Chuck) Baker on an estate plan. He is a very knowledgable attorney, and he provided great care and service. We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Baker and his firm for estate planning. Thank you, Chuck!!

Although this Firm was not able to assist us... doesn't necessarily mean they can't help in your particular case.

I have used Baker and Baker to help my father with his medical power of attorney and estate needs. Then when it was time for my husband and I to do our own wills and estate planning, MPOAH, etc. I knew where to go. Mr. Baker is kind,competent and experienced. His staff was friendly and efficient. The fees were told to us up front and were accurate. I have referred many friends and coworkers to him as well. Thank you for the peace of mind and reassurance.

Baker & Baker did an excellent job handling my mother's Medicaid application as well as probate issues after she passed away. They answered any and all questions that my brother and I had in a prompt and informative manner. I would recommend Baker & Baker to any one needs an attorney to represent them in the Medicaid application process as well as probate matters.

Will not go there again. At first I paid $295 for the consultation to give me advice on my mother’s Medicaid app, since I had my brother’s check deposited in her bank account. He gave me a short Medicaid form and told me to do the letter, explaining why the checks are going into the same account. He stated he would look at it afterwards and would charge me $175 for a half hour. I gave him $350 for a full hour. I scheduled another appointment when finished, but got a different response when I came in. They wanted $3500 in order to submit the app. I didn’t want that. When I told them I couldn’t afford that, Mr. Baker came in and told me that if I wasn’t hiring them, he wasn’t going to do anymore for me and Good Luck. I tried to show him the $350 receipt, but he didn’t want to see it. $350 went out the door. Find another attorney.

Response from owner

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration you've experienced.<br><br>In our initial consultation, our aim was to offer guidance on the Medicaid application process, which can often be complex and nuanced. When dealing with Medicaid, it is indeed critical to explain any unusual financial transactions, such as depositing someone else's checks into a different account, to avoid any implications of impropriety. The advice and the form provided were intended to help you navigate this step of the process.<br><br>Regarding the additional funds you provided, our firm is committed to transparency in our billing. We typically only undertake work for which we are retained, and the full-hour rate you paid was meant to cover a thorough review of your documents. We understand this may not have been clearly communicated, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.<br><br>The comprehensive service for submitting a Medicaid application is extensive, and the quote for the Medicaid application reflects the significant amount of work involved in ensuring that the application is accurate, complete, and has the highest chance of a favorable outcome.<br><br>We realize that this amount may not be feasible for everyone, which is why Mr. Baker intended to clarify our firm's role and services moving forward. It was never our intention to disregard the value of your investment in our services, and we apologize if this was the impression given.<br><br>To address the situation, we are willing to review the services provided and ensure that you have received value for the fees paid. If there has been any oversight, we will rectify it. We take pride in our client service and want to ensure that every client leaves our office feeling heard and respected.<br><br>If you would like to discuss this matter further or explore possible solutions, please contact our office at your earliest convenience. We are here to help and would welcome the opportunity to resolve any outstanding issues to your satisfaction.

This law firm has helped so many of our residents at Pelican Pointe Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and have donated to our facility. They care and they are a core part of what seniors need when they have nobody else to advocate for them. Thank you Mr Baker!

Baker & Baker assisted my mother who is elderly, Medicaid recipient, has health issues and does not speak English. Chuck Baker was knowledgeable, very helpful, kind and patient, explaining the law and what she was signing. He provided examples to help her understand. We strongly recommend this law firm to serve you and help with your needs. Chuck & staff were excellent! Thank you.

Had nothing but problems with this firm in getting Medicaid approval for my husband. They took over 8 months to get my application submitted and when I would complain, they would tell me that I hadn't submitted the paperwork and I would provide the same information over and over again. After application was submitted, Medicaid closed out the application due to requested information not received in a timely manner. This cost me an additional $15,000.00+ because a new application had to be made. They are truly uncaring and don't accept responsibility for anything. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone

Response from owner

We regret that this valued client has produced a negative review of our firm because we were ultimately successful in obtaining her husband’s Medicaid application in view of the challenges to her and to us in obtaining the necessary timely documentation required by the government regulations. The hurdles were high because of the excess of accounts and numerous assets. Final Qualification for full Medicaid benefits has legitimately saved this family thousands in nursing home costs without loss of full nursing home benefits. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the financial stability of this client as her husband receives the care he needs.

I don't even think there is a NEGATIVE 0 to rate these people. They took advantage of my father and had him sign forms that were NOT THOROUGHLY GONE over with him (dad). My father later told me yesterday that he didn't even know what it was that he was signing, "It was like a hit and run job." Unfortunately, my sister was the one with dad and she did not pay attention OR it was convenient for her and her husband, Dad expressed that "He did not sign any "Declaration...." Talk about taking advantage of the elderly. very unprofessional and will Definitely be reporting the to the :State Bar of Texas." I do not want any apologies from Mr. or Mrs. Baker. You should be ashamed of yourselves for all the damage you have created.
