Brad N. Baker, Attorney

Brad Baker is a veteran estate planner who has practiced law in the state of California for more than 33 years. Mr. Baker offers a highly personalized approach, taking into account the individual situation and goals of each of his clients to create an estate plan that reflects their needs and wishes. With a substantial family law background, Brad also understands and anticipates the generational issues involved in developing an effective estate plan.

Because of Brad's extensive work in litigation matters throughout his career, he knows the litigation process and is careful to keep his clients out of the courtroom through strategic drafting.

Brad has experience in both federal and state courts. For the past fifteen years, he has concentrated his practice on trusts, estate planning and probate, including litigation in these areas.

Brad Baker graduated with a degree in Social Sciences from the University of California at Irvine in 1972 and lettered three years in Varsity Basketball for the UC Irvine Anteaters. He attended law school at UCLA, which is consistently ranked as one of the top ten law schools in the nation. He was admitted to the California Bar in 1975. Shortly after graduation, Brad donated six months of his career to the Venice Legal Aid Foundation. After his experience with the Venice Legal Aid, he embarked on a partnership with classmate, Kent Burton, and established Baker and Burton in May of 1976. Albro Lundy III joined the firm in 1993 adding his litigation skills to the team. Five years in Venice and twenty-eight years in Hermosa Beach have provided many fruitful experiences and many blessings.

Brad is a member of the California State Bar Association and the Los Angeles County and South Bay Bar Associations. Mr. Baker is one of few attorneys who has had the privilege of arguing twice before the United States Supreme Court as well as twice being a member of the billion dollar club for his role in the energy class action settlement.

Brad prefers to think of himself as a counselor of law. He is a third generation Southern California resident and enjoys being with interesting people any time in any setting. He considers himself to be one of the luckiest/most blessed people on earth.
