Make no mistake about it, The Baker Law Firm is one of Tennessee's leading law firms when it comes to handling civil rights cases. In particular, The Baker Law Firm has earned this stature and exceptional reputation by holding police officers, county and city governments accountable for law enforcement misconduct.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires that inmates be provided adequate medical care while in the custody of any governmental entity. A governmental entity may be held liable based upon its officers' deliberate indifference to and violation of any citizen's constitutional rights where a custom, policy, or procedure of the municipality is found to be the proximate cause of the constitutional violation.
Excessive force under the Fourteenth Amendment is objectively unreasonable conduct that, given the facts and circumstances, would "shock the conscience" and amount to an arbitrary exercise of governmental power. Each citizen has a constitutional right to be free from the unlawful and excessive use of force, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, and to be free of cruel and unusual punishment, pursuant to the Eighth Amendment.
Being accused of a crime is a life-changing experience. The accusation alone can affect your personal and professional relationships; if you are convicted, the situation only gets worse. Even misdemeanor convictions can in some cases limit your career options, your ability to own a gun or your standing in the community.
At The Baker Law Firm, we understand what is at stake when you are charged with assault. Assault convictions can have far-reaching consequences beyond criminal penalties. A conviction not only ruins your reputation, but it may also affect your ability to enter college, gain employment in certain fields, and maintain or acquire a professional license.

First time in my life I needed an attorney and I was fortunate enough to have Lance Baker in my corner. Every step of the way he was with me advocating for me and making sure I understood all the pros and cons of my case. All my questions and concerns were answered with the utmost respect and care. Months after my case was over I needed some additional guidance and Mr. Baker was there to help me navigate the red tape of the legal system again.If you need an attorney Lance Baker is second to none.

Never got to actually talk to Mr.Baker, but his assistant is absolutely no help. I got referred to the Baker law firm by another lawyer/attorney that couldn’t help. I called and waited to speak to Mr.Baker for 3 days. Every time I called she just kept telling he’d be back within a few hours and he’ll give me a call. Called the last morning and I asked if Mr.Baker ever made it in and she replied with, “yes, but he’s busy right now.” At this point I was aggravated. I explained that I understood he was busy and it’s not his fault, but ive been waiting for 3 days with not much time for

Got a speeding ticket while in Tennessee for a wedding. Called Baker, Lance went to the court date for me and had it dismissed. Very smooth process the entire way through so couldn't have been happier. Was only hoping to have the ticket reduced so a dismissal was a great outcome.

I was recently issued a first-time speeding ticket. I didn't want that on my record, and I had a court date which I needed to attend. Because I am a college student who is also working part-time, I realized this would be a problem. Lance Baker took care of everything and was able to completely dismiss the ticket. Tabbatha, his administrative assistant, is also quite knowledgeable and was extremely helpful in communicating with me. Overall, I'm really impressed.

My boyfriend caught some serious charges and Mr.Baker did an amazing job getting him the best deal possible. So thankful we chose him to be his lawyer! When my boyfriend got arrested they took my property as well because it was in the vehicle and Mr.Baker helped me get it back afterwards. If your on the fence, dont worry and just get him! You wont regret it!

I found myself in a situation I never thought I would have been in. I spoke with a few different attorneys prior to Baker. They all spoke about the situation in very negative terms provoking worry and concern. Attorney Lance baker on the other hand spoke from the very first sentence with confidence. This was with good reason as he has the skills and experience as an attorney to have earned that confidence. Attorney Baker resolved my issues in a way I never thought possible. I cant recommend him enough. There are alot of attorneys you can choose to represent you. l however honestly dont believe
