I gave Harold Baker Law Group a fair chance. After since last summer of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Fast deposits|Professional team|Social trading features|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Nothing significant
What really bothers me about Harold Baker Law Group is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them after hearing about them at a conference and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|High security standards|Good mobile app
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Slow to add new assets
My withdrawal from Harold Baker Law Group was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for over a year of being strung along.
Pros: High security standards|Instant funding
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Email notifications too frequent
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Harold Baker Law Group. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Clean UI|Professional team|Real-time alerts|Multiple order types
Cons: Search feature is basic|Live chat only during business hours
Where do I even begin with Harold Baker Law Group? for about five months of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Responsive team|Risk management tools
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|No phone support on weekends
Harold Baker Law Group changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Excellent charting|Smooth onboarding|Tax reports included
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Account statements could be more detailed
The reporting at Harold Baker Law Group is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Good mobile app|Two-factor authentication|Demo account available
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Account statements could be more detailed
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Harold Baker Law Group recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Fast deposits|Segregated accounts|Multi-device support
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
I lost a significant amount because Harold Baker Law Group did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Social trading features|Multi-currency support
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|No integrated tax optimization
After for over three years with Harold Baker Law Group I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Good mobile app|Instant funding|Clear documentation|Demo account available
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
