A lot of specialists work in isolation. Take for example, doctors. If there is a heart specialist, you can hardly expect him to check with your family doctor on why the condition of your heart is like what it is. If there is a plumber, he will come and check your taps and water connection but you can hardly expect him to work as a team with your electricians.

But, there are areas in life where one needs to work with the team however specialised one’s area of work is. Lawyer is a good example. Though most lawyers don’t have to work with anyone other than themselves and in court, there are circumstances when one needs to work with the client’s team.

If you are looking at the areas of financial planning, estate planning and elder law, it is better to opt for a lawyer who is good at his law but who is also good at finance and accounts. This is since the work required on these areas demand a knowledge of not only the laws but also an understanding of accounts and finance so that the combined understanding can be applied beneficially to the case and issues on hand.

This is exactly what Michael T.Baker, the lawyer, does. He is a thorough professional attorney. But, he also has immense understanding and experience of finance and accounts having worked with finance people. This means that you have a person here, who not only knows the laws and the fine legal points but who also understands, first hand, the nuances of how the finance and accounts systems work and how they need to be looked at for the benefit of the client.

That is why he and his team are able to work constructively with the client’s team of accountants and the finance team. So, if you have anything to do with estate planning, elder law, trust, will or business planning where the application of the finance and accounts is required, it is better to get him and his firm!
