Daniel Baker
Daniel Baker brings the sharp analytical mind and competitive drive of a California law school graduate to the heart of Texas personal injury law. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Daniel graduated from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2021 — and made a deliberate decision to plant roots in Austin, Texas, where opportunity for meaningful legal work was abundant.
After passing the Texas Bar and gaining extensive litigation experience at one of Texas's highest-profile injury firms, Daniel co-founded Baker Matthews Law Collective with one conviction: that clients deserve more than they typically get from large impersonal PI firms — more attention, more transparency, more humanity.
Since relocating to Austin, Daniel has secured impressive settlement recoveries for injury victims and has quickly established himself as a prominent legal figure in Central Texas. His client-based approach is the foundation of the firm's culture — every client receives personalized attention and a legal strategy built around their specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all template.
