About Russ
Biography
I started practicing law in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Grayson, Fannin, and Hunt counties since November 2004. In 2016 I moved my practice to the Texas Hill Country and currently practice in Burnet, Gillespie, Llano, San Saba, Masson and McCoullogh Counties. I handle both criminal and family law cases, including divorce, child custody and CPS.
I was born in Arlington, Texas on December 22, 1974. I graduated from Texas Christian University with a B.S. in Biology in 1998. I received his Juris Doctor at S.M.U. School of Law in 2004. I was admitted to the Bar in November 2004. I believe my educational background in Biology makes me uniquely suited to handle criminal cases involving scientific evidence such as DWI, drug cases, Assualt cases dealing with DNA evidence and Burglary/Theft cases where fingerprint analysis is sometimes used.
I have been an active member in the Boy Scouts of America and obtained the ranking of Eagle Scout.
With 18 years of experience in family and criminal law, we have the knowledge and experience to properly handle any case. Please call to set up a consultation.

Saved my family
Not only was Russ Baker extremely aggressive in court. He also was very open and always advised me and which direction to go in. Any attorney can fight for you in court but what separates a yellow pages attorney compared to a real good attorney is being advised and communication which is what I promi...

Better than I could have ever hoped for
My experience with Russ has been a consistently great one. He is passionate about taking care of, and fighting for, his clients. I was extremely impressed by how willing he was to deeply research anew the (incredibly laborious to read) actual statutes in both state and federal law to make sure th...

Awesome attorney
Russ did an awesome job. He made sure we always understood everything, he did what he said he would do, he kept us informed on what was going on with our case.

Best lawyer we have ever used.
Russ far exceeded all of our expectations and he kept us informed at all times, taking a lot of worry off our family. His results could not have been better as the case was totally dismissed. We will always use Russ when the need arises.

Russ did a great job on my case, he went far above what he said he would do for me and kept the cost to a minimum. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
