About
Theodore John Baker is an accomplished attorney based in Moorestown, NJ, with nearly 20 years of experience in general practice, specializing in child welfare and abuse cases. After earning his Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1999 and a Bachelor of Arts from Saint Joseph's University in 1996, Theodore embarked on a judicial clerkship that profoundly shaped his career. During this pivotal role, he worked closely with a judge who exclusively handled child abuse cases, providing him with invaluable insights into the complexities of the legal system. Following his clerkship, Theodore served as a Deputy Attorney General, where he represented the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), now known as the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP). His deep understanding of the intricacies involved in child welfare cases, combined with his experience from both the judicial and prosecutorial perspectives, equips him with a unique viewpoint that few attorneys possess. In 2005, Theodore founded his own law firm, where he has dedicated himself to advocating for individuals navigating the challenges of child welfare cases. Recognizing that each case is unique, he approaches every matter with compassion and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. Theodore is passionate about providing effective legal representation while ensuring that the voices of those he represents are heard and respected.
