About Robert
Robert Baker earned his law degree from Boston University School of Law in 1992, after beginning his legal studies in 1989. He entered the profession at a time when courtroom practice still shaped reputations. That early training at Boston University set the tone for a career centered on trial work and civil litigation.
After law school, Baker joined a private practice that soon bore his name. He became a partner at Baker & Zimmerman in 1994. During his years there he handled a range of civil matters and developed a courtroom practice that would define his career. Records show a steady progression from associate to partner in the mid-1990s, a period when he established himself in state and federal litigation.
In 2019 he founded Baker Legal Team. The move marked a new phase: an independent practice under his own leadership. The firm’s name reflects his role as founder and lead attorney. He continues to manage litigation matters and oversee case strategy, while the firm handles client work across multiple jurisdictions.
Baker is admitted to practice in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Florida. He is also Board Certified as a Civil Trial Lawyer by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education. That certification identifies a lawyer who has met specific standards in trial practice in Florida and indicates a concentration of professional activity in civil trials in that state.
Professional affiliations have been a steady part of his career. He holds current memberships in the American Association for Justice, the Florida Justice Association, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and The Florida Bar. He is also listed as a former member of the Rhode Island Bar Journal. Those memberships place him in professional networks that focus on civil litigation and trial advocacy.
Baker’s practice has long emphasized courtroom work, and his credentials reflect that emphasis. He has built a practice that spans several state bars and that centers on civil trial litigation. He balances case preparation with courtroom representation and continues to take cases in the jurisdictions where he is licensed. Currently he concentrates his practice on civil trial litigation and related matters across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Florida.
