The Law Offices of Baker, Burton & Lundy, P.C.
Expanding to Serve the Legal Needs of the South Bay
aker, 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 Beach.
The firm has won more than $4 billion in verdicts and settlements. The
attorneys have argued twice before the U.S. Supreme Court and have
won an unanimous opinion in the California Supreme Court making
new law that encourages resolution and helps reduce litigation.
Never content to stand still, BB&L has been growing its probate and
employment law divisions, while energetically maintaining its core
practices that include business, real estate, estate planning and personal
injury.
People walking and driving down Pier Avenue will see changes taking
place. To house the growing practice, the 42-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. The
shape is symbolic to the firm – just as local lifeguards keep beach-goers
safe, BB&L seeks to help safeguard the legal rights of their clients and
stands by to help when injuries of all kind occur.
Employment Law – Advising Employers and Employees
BB&L offers employment law services to a variety of clients in Southern
California from small start-up businesses to Fortune 500 companies.
Understanding the rights of both sides, BB&L represents both employers
and employees in discrimination, harassment and wrongful termination
cases. They also are experts in analyzing wage and hour issues and
employment and employee requirements under the current California
laws, which are technical and difficult to comply with.
Navigating Probate Litigation
The area of probate litigation has been growing as the Baby Boomer
generation ages. When conflicts arise concerning questionable documents
or how money and estate assets are being managed and/or
distributed, people find themselves needing an expert attorney. The
BB&L probate litigation team helps clients navigate through the complex
probate court system and reach equitable resolutions.
Protecting Sexual Harassment Victims
BB&L has been actively defending the rights of women long before
the #MeToo movement started. The firm spearheaded prosecution of
a doctor who, like Larry Nassar, was using his position and authority to
sexually abuse multiple patients during examinations and who was
convicted in criminal court of four felonies and lost his license. BB&L
also just won several million dollars for an employee who was a victim
of sexual harassment and discrimination. One of the most healing
things for these victims is helping them have their day in court and confront
the person who abused them.
Helping Clients with Brain Injuries
Unfortunately there are many ways people receive serious injuries to
their brain – from vehicle accidents to playing football or even dangerous
falls while walking. These brain injuries can drastically alter a
person’s ability to work and take care of his or herself. It is critical for
head injury victims to seek legal help when an injury occurs due to another’s
negligence so patients can get the resources needed for their
long-term care. BB&L has helped a wide range of clients injured from
falls, horse-riding accidents, and car and motorcycle accidents win
millions of dollars for their long-term medical needs.
Long Term Commitment
As the longest operating business on Pier Avenue, Baker, Burton &
Lundy remains committed to being there for their clients and the South
Bay community. Partner Brad Baker says, “Few professions provide the
opportunity to help people as much as the legal profession. We take
this mission very seriously. From the moment clients walk in our front
door, they know their experience is going to be unique.”
