Baker, Burton & Lundy welcomes referrals from other firms, and pays the highest referral fees allowed by California State Bar rules. Our involvement benefits your client and as a result also benefits you. When you refer a case to us, the experience, reputation, and resources we can apply on your client's behalf can significantly aid your client even before trial, by greatly increasing the likelihood that large defendants and insurance companies will settle. We gain a significant portion of our litigation clients through referrals from other firms.
One powerful tribute to the quality of our work is that we are frequently sent matters by attorneys who have opposed us at trial. As our adversaries, they know our worth and know that our word is true, as well as knowing that we will achieve the best results for their clients and do it with integrity, and efficiency.
We are also open to joint venture and association relationships with other firms. We are creative in developing methods of working with other attorneys at all stages of litigation, and our success is evidenced by our having partnered with over 100 firms over the last several decades.

We have worked with lawyers in all types of organizations – large firms, sole practitioners, in-house counsel, government attorneys – and in a broad range of practices, including criminal and civil defense, probate, corporate and transaction law, real estate law, consumer law, intellectual property, entertainment law, and antitrust.
When you contact us about the possibility of our working together, whether as a referring attorney, a joint venture, or other type of association, you will quickly appreciate the seriousness with which we are prepared to address your client's needs, and your needs as well. We believe in clear agreements, and we believe in paying referral fees promptly. We have never had a problem with a referring attorney or joint venture partner regarding fees.
We will agree with you up front on the percentage fee, based on the particulars of the case you bring to us, including matters such as the type of case, the estimated length and cost, and the role you wish to play in the litigation. Just as we have never had a problem with a referring attorney concerning fees, we have also never had a problem establishing a fee-sharing agreement that we and the referring attorney concluded was fair.
So if we sound like the sort of team you want on your and your client's side, please give us a call – whether you are at the beginning of a matter that may take years to conclude, or are about to go to trial and have decided that there are some important holes need help filling, or any stage in between. We like working with good people on hard cases.
We welcome your inquiries.
