Giant-killing law firm still growing after all these years
Baker, Burton & Lundy, the local law firm with a nationwide
reputation and billions of dollars won for its clients,
continues to expand both its practice and its physical
presence in the heart of Hermosa.
The giant-killing firm has won more than $4 billion in verdicts
and settlements, and the attorneys have argued twice before
the U.S. Supreme Court and won an affirmative verdict from
the California Supreme Court.
Never content to stand still, BBL has been growing its
probate and employment law divisions, while energetically
maintaining its core practices that include business, real estate,
personal injury, elder abuse and estate planning.
To house the expanding practice, the 41-year-old firm is making
its third expansion along Hermosa’s iconic Pier Avenue,
adding new offices and a “lifeguard tower-esque” roof deck
to its storefront.
Partner Brad N. Baker, who heads up estate planning,
probate, trust administration and trust litigation for the firm,
works to bring peace of mind to clients by putting their affairs
in order which allows clients to protect and care for their loved
ones who truly appreciate Brad’s attention to detail and forethought
dedicated to a comprehensive Estate Plan.
In addition to his legal work, Baker serves as vice chair of the
nonprofit Healthcare and Elder Law Programs Corporation
(H.E.L.P.), which provides information, education and
counseling on elder care, law, finances and consumer
protection.
BBL Partner Kent Burton heads up real estate and business
transaction law, while partner Albro Lundy heads the firm’s
litigation efforts.
BBL is recognized far beyond Hermosa’s cozy confines for
high-profile wins, including a multibillion-dollar settlement for
California consumers in a complex, multi-state case
concerning natural gas prices and the energy crisis of 2000 and
2001.
BBL also has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to
battle cases that protected people maimed in preventable
accidents or exploited by those in positions of power, with no
profit to the firm.
The firm’s associates include:
Trial lawyer Evan Koch, who for three years running has been
named one of Super Lawyers’ “Rising Stars,” placing him
among the top 2.5 % of Southern California attorneys under
age 40;
Real estate and business transactions attorney Teresa
Klinkner, who has earned the highest Martindale-Hubbell
rating from her peers;
Business and real estate transactions attorney Clint Wilson,
praised by colleagues and clients for his competitive zeal and
his ability to harness the fine details of cases that others might
overlook;
Estate planning attorney Christine Daniels who is bilingual
(Spanish) and is known for embracing the challenge of
creating individualized estate plans for clients;
Steven J. Dawson, a labor and employment law and
litigation attorney, with nearly three decades of experience
representing corporations and public agencies in matters including
labor, employment, construction and property
disputes.
