Alumni Association Spotlight: Don Baltimore (JD '74)

Attorney and University of Memphis alumnus H. LaDon (Don) Baltimore (JD ’74) combines the practice of law with his interest in government and politics
by concentrating his law practice in government relations and administrative law.
Prior to entering private practice, Don was a staff attorney for the General Assembly
of the State of Tennessee, and General Counsel and lobbyist for the Tennessee Bankers
Association.
Don also devotes time to the American Heart Association, serving on the Board of the
Heart Gala and is currently Co-Chair of the Heart Gala Society. He and his wife were
among a Sister Cities group representing Nashville and the U.S. in Caen, France.
Don has served his civic group, Sertoma, as President.
The friendships Don made at the School of Law have endured as he maintains contact
with many alumni in his work. Don has said that it is rewarding to see his law school
friends become leaders in the profession. Don is married to fellow alumna Anita Wilson
Baltimore (BFA ’72) and they have a daughter. Don is a University Donor and annual
Alumni Association member.
