At Baker Associates, we are committed to serving the State of Tennessee by offering top grade legal representation with offices in Nashville and Sevierville. We strive to uphold the values of respect, accountability, and integrity. Our client focused approach allows us to build meaningful relationships with our clients so that we may best represent their interests.
We believe that the best defense is a strong offense and our trial experience allows us to bring our best offense to the negotiating table. You simply will not get a favorable offer from the State, insurance company, or opposing party if they believe your attorney will not take your case to trial. Unfortunately, many attorneys are hesitant to do so, even when it is in their client’s best interest. Our legal team understands the challenges presented and opportunities to be had by presenting the case to a jury and we are willing and able to do what is necessary to achieve the best resolution for your case.
It is a privilege to represent the people of Tennessee and an opportunity to help you resolve your legal trouble is the reason we are in this profession. Hire the attorneys who treat the practice of law as a passion and not just a business. Contact Baker Associates today at (615) 422-6790.
Criminal LawAs former prosecutors, we have experience on both sides of the law. Our Nashville criminal attorneys have over four decades of combined trial experience. Even if someone is guilty, it is still up to the State to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, and we strive to hold the State to the extremely high burden that the law demands. At Baker Associates, we have the luxury to be selective with the cases we take; this allows us to tailor our representation to the individual needs of each of our clients. Your case will not get buried among hundreds of other cases in our firm; therefore, you will get the attention you deserve.
Juvenile DefenseAs parents ourselves, we take juvenile defense extremely seriously. This could be a defining moment in your child’s life, and it is important to do as much as you can on the front end, and to hire an attorney at the earliest sign that your child may be in trouble with the law. At Baker Associates, we try to handle as much as we can before a case even enters the courtroom. Your child’s case will get the same level of attention from our Nashville criminal lawyers that we would want someone to give our own children if they were in a similar situation.
Disciplinary HearingsWhether you are a university student facing academic or disciplinary violations or a professional facing sanctions, we will represent your rights inside and out of the courtroom. Your future may be seriously affected by a negative finding from a disciplinary hearing, such as suspension from school or revocation of your professional license. Hiring an attorney to represent you during a disciplinary hearing could not only improve your chances of a favorable outcome, but will ensure your rights are protected in the event there is a pending criminal charge or civil lawsuit related to the hearing.
Litigation ConsultingBaker Associates is offering litigation consulting services to assist small firms and solo practitioners gain substantive trial experience. Unfortunately, many attorneys, both seasoned and entry level, do not have substantive jury experience. This could simply be due to a lack of opportunity and in some cases, a lack of confidence. Do not allow your inexperience to limit your practice or your client's options. We will act as co-counsel on your case and guide you through the labyrinth of litigation.
Car AccidentsIf you or a loved one is injured in a car accident, do not hesitate to contact our attorneys today. Having experienced trial attorneys in your corner will bolster your position at the negotiating table because it conveys the message to the insurance company or opposing counsel that you are not afraid to take them to trial. You deserve just compensation for your injuries and we are prepared to fight on your behalf to hold at-fault drivers accountable.
