About Joe
Joe Baker is an attorney who practices with Scheef & Stone, LLP. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Texas Christian University in 2002. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2008. Those academic years framed his interest in legal practice and prepared him for courtroom work and appellate litigation.
After law school, Baker began a career that spans both state and federal courts. He has built a practice that involves appearances and filings across multiple jurisdictions. Over the years he has developed experience handling matters that require coordination between state rules and federal procedure. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing filings and attentive to procedural detail.
Baker is admitted to practice in Texas and New Mexico. He is also authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Those admissions allow him to take cases through trial and into appellate review when necessary. His work thus ranges from initial pleadings and discovery to briefing for higher courts.
He maintains current professional memberships and participates in activities typical for practicing attorneys in his jurisdictions. That involvement keeps him connected to developments in court rules, appellate practice, and state-level procedure. He draws on those resources when advising clients or preparing appellate briefs.
At Scheef & Stone, LLP, Baker handles matters that require attention to both state law and federal appellate standards. He represents clients in proceedings in Texas and New Mexico and files appeals in the Tenth Circuit when cases move beyond the trial level. His current practice centers on litigation matters handled from initial filing through appellate advocacy.
