• DUI/DWI
• Sex Crimes
  "I was falsely accused of committing a horrible sex crime.  Because I had some prior arrests, the cops and the DA didn’t believe me when I said I was innocent.  They arrested me and the DA charged me with all kinds of horrible acts which I absolutely did not commit!   Mr. Baker was with me from the beginning and once he got started defending me, he never let up!  Mr. Baker fought the DA tooth and nail every step of the way.  He never backed down and never gave up on me!
• Robbery
  "In 2008, I was arrested by Brooklyn cops and charged in a gunpoint robbery as the result of being wrongly identified in a lineup by two of the robbery victims.  My life was turned upside down.  I was thrown in jail, humiliated and treated like a criminal.  No one believed me when I claimed I was innocent-until I met attorney Harold Baker.  He listened to my story and conducted a thorough investigation.  At the time of the robbery, I had been on a trip to see some relatives and Harold Baker secured evidence to prove my alibi.
• Drug Crimes
• Murder
  "After I had spent 17 years in prison for a murder I did not commit, attorney Harold C. Baker was there to help me get back on my feet and help me rejoin the fabric of society.  Not only did Harold Baker help get me a new social security card, medical benefits, birth certificate, and driver's license, He helpd me bring claims against NYS and NYC for wrongful conviction.  Harold Baker went after the cops who framed me with a vengeance and secured $6,825,000.00 in settlements for me and my family as compensation for the frame up and wrongful conviction.  Harold Baker will be my friend for life."
