About Baker Matthews

Two attorneys. One mission: to give Austin injury victims the fierce, personal advocacy they deserve — and that the big impersonal firms too often fail to deliver.

Our Story

Built on Conviction. Driven by Results.

Baker Matthews Law Collective PLLC was founded by Alex J. Matthews and Daniel Baker — two attorneys who spent years at one of Texas's largest personal injury firms learning exactly what it takes to win high-stakes injury cases. But they also witnessed firsthand what happens when clients are treated as case numbers rather than human beings in crisis.

They left to build something different: a boutique law collective where every client gets direct access to the attorneys handling their case, receives honest updates rather than corporate non-answers, and benefits from big-firm litigation expertise delivered with genuine personal care.

Today, Baker Matthews Law Collective is recognized among Austin's top personal injury law firms — featured attorneys include a National Top 40 Under 40 Trial Lawyer and a Marquis Who's Who honoree. But numbers and awards don't define us. Our clients do.

Alex J. Matthews

CEO & Founding Partner

A proud Austin native, Alex graduated from St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio and immediately returned to his hometown to build a career fighting for injured Austinites. He leads the firm with a focus on personalized strategy for every client.

Recognized as a National Top 40 Under 40 Trial Lawyer and honored in Marquis Who's Who, Alex is as comfortable in the courtroom as he is on the Lady Bird Lake trail. His active lifestyle — golf, sandlot baseball with the Austin Moontowers, and outdoor pursuits — reflects the same energy he brings to every client's case.

Tenacity

We prepare every case as if it's going to trial. Insurance companies know we will fight — and that reputation alone forces better settlements for our clients.

🤝

Integrity

We tell clients the truth — about their case, their chances, and their options. No false promises. No inflated expectations. Just honest, trusted counsel.

❤️

Compassion

Behind every case file is a real person in pain. We treat every client like family — with the patience, empathy, and human decency that a crisis demands.
