During this period, Mr. Baskin developed a reputation for handling high-stakes litigation under the mentorship of Howard Butler, one of Florida’s most respected legal figures.

From 2012 to 2014, Mr. Baskin worked as a law clerk at Butler Law Group.

In preparation for his future, Mr. Baskin acquired a Bachelor of Arts in political science and government from The University of Alabama in 2008 and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2013.
