Mr. Baker was born in Burien, WA where he also went to Highline High School. He has been practicing personal injury law since admission to the bar in 2008.

He is also an avid and omnivorous reader.
PHILOSOPHY
"An intimate knowledge of the law and the judicial system gives influence. I believe that the purpose of influence is not to build one's ego or net worth; the purpose of influence is to speak up for those without it."
