He works with individuals and families to develop legal arrangements for property transfers, future decision-making, and estate administration. His practice focuses on understanding each client’s objectives and preparing estate plans suited to those circumstances, with attention to how the documents may operate over time.

Baker earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Juris Doctor from Lincoln Law School of San Jose. Before law school, he worked for many years in the Silicon Valley technology industry. He later practiced at a boutique intellectual property law firm before shifting his professional focus to estate planning. This career background adds experience with legal documentation and structured planning.

His estate planning practice includes preparing wills, trusts, and powers of attorney and advising clients about probate proceedings.

His previous intellectual property and technology work forms part of his broader professional experience.
