I understand the emotions that arise when facing legal matters that affect the family.  I provide my clients with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding their cases and ultimately, their futures

What to Expect

From the Law Office of Diane S. Baker, Esquire, in the Colonial Park area of Lower Paxton Township, we offer clients tailored and competent representation in many different types of domestic matters.  With 34 years of legal experience and a competent and attentive staff, I am able to provide quality advice and guidance to clients throughout Harrisburg and the surrounding areas.  I encourage clients to try to resolve family law matters amicably if at all possible, but I also am prepared to proceed aggressively if necessary.  I understand that costs are oftentimes an issue for clients, especially during the break-up of a marriage or relationship, and I therefore offer reasonable rates and payment arrangements.

Your case is important to you but can sometimes become a seemingly overwhelming part of your life.  I recognize a client’s emotional need to receive prompt and accurate information and advice, oftentimes on short notice, as issues may arise.  For that reason it is my office policy to return all phone calls the same business day if at all possible and certainly within 24 business hours.  I also provide all clients with my email address and I frequently correspond with clients after hours.

Additional Areas of Practice

In addition to family law and divorce issues, I also represent clients in other types of cases, such as:

• Estate Planning
• Wills
• Trusts
• Living Wills
• Powers of Attorney
