Atkinson, Baker & Rodriguez was originally launched in 1992 as Atkinson & Thal, P.C. Cliff Atkinson and John Thal (now retired) left the partnership of one of New Mexico's largest law firms with a single mission: create a dedicated litigation practice that will be the finest Firm our clients ever hire. Since that time, Douglas Baker (Cliff and John's friend for 40 years, with whom they previously practiced for many years) joined the Firm as a shareholder, and in 2009 the Firm became Atkinson, Thal & Baker, P.C. In 2016, following John Thal's retirement, the Firm once again changed its name to Atkinson, Baker & Rodriguez, reflecting Justin Rodriguez's shareholder status.
