William A. Baker and Ridler W. Page were young associates in a Rhode Island law firm who decided to move north in 1966 and start their own law firm in Lebanon, New Hampshire - that firm was Baker & Page.

When Mr. Page left in 1978, William Baker continued a sole law practice, and ultimately, with the addition of Patrick T. Hayes in 1979, it became the current firm of Baker & Hayes in 1982.

The firm has continued to uphold the high ideals of its founder, William Baker, who passed away in 1997, and currently maintains a general law practice.
