Took some time but we got it -- case dismissed!
Our son found himself truly in the wrong place at the wrong time and due to the fact that none of the guilty party spoke up, all parties were arrested. Our son faced charges that we knew were not accurate. We contacted Mr. Baker after hours and he immediately returned our call and gave us what proved...

"Phyl is a great lawyer and a great guy. I have worked with him over the last 15 years. He is a warrior in the court room"
"I have known Phil for over 20 years. He is an exceptional lawyer and his expertise is wide-ranging. He can nail a jury trial one day and an appeal the next. He will fight for you!!!"
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Phil is an excellent litigator in the courtroom, and is a zealous advocate for his clients. I would highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for an experienced and well respected criminal attorney."
"I endorse attorney Phil Baker as an extraordinary criminal defense lawyer who is truly an advocate for the people he represents. Mr. Baker cares genuinely for his clients and is known for going above and beyond the normal call of duty. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Phil and to learn from one of the best in the business."
"I have known Phil a long time and I have known Phil to be a great lawyer for just about as long. Phil knows the law, he knows the science and he knows his way around a courtroom..... I would put my case in his hands and if your case is anywhere near LaGrange or the Hill Country I can't think of anybody better to handle your case!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Many years ago I was a young prosecutor and I went to trial against Phil Baker. I was prosecuting two defendants in a misdemeanor trial and Phil represented one of them. I learned from the trial that Phil is passionate about his clients and fights hard in trial. At the end of trial, Phil's client was acquitted and I won a conviction against the other defendant. I respected what he had done for his client and I saw that he really enjoyed what he was doing. That made a big impression on me as a young prosecutor. I recently ran into Phil in another courthouse. He is just as fired up about defending people from the government as ever. I endorse this lawyer. -Steve Hesse"
"I have known Phil for over 10 years. We have been opposing counsel on cases and I respect him as both a person and an attorney. He zealously defends his clients and does not give up until he gets the results he is looking for. Phil knows the law and gets on very well with prosecutors, judges, and attorneys."
"Met Phil when I first started practicing law. We were opposing counsel on a case that went to trial. He was extremely aggressive and I learned a great deal from that experience. Is truly an advocate - fights for his clients."
"I have watched Phil Baker in court since he started practicing law and he has always displayed tremendous fight and dedication to his clients. He is a true bulldog in the courtroom. He is fair and friendly to the prosecutors, however, when they try to mistreat him or his clients they are in for a huge fight. Phil is an extremely intelligent, competent lawyer whom I would recommend to anyone charged with a crime."
"I have know Phil for 10 years. In that time, Phil and I have worked on several criminal defense matters. Phil Baker is, far and away, the most diligent criminal defense attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. Phil advocates vigorously for his clients and maintains excellent lines of communication with all parties. Phil is well respected in the legal community and is often relied upon by less seasoned attorneys to offer sound advice regarding obscure legal issues. The words I use to describe Phil are: honest, thoughtful, compassionate and fair. He knows which questions to ask, how to assess complex situations and communicate solutions. Phil has all the qualities for making just and difficult decisions in a court of law. I am very proud to have tried cases with Phil in the past and it is without question that I give Phil my highest endorsement."
