Made the impossible happen

Baron Eliason was by far the best attorney we have ever come across and hired. My case was early probation release and after consulting with over 20 attorneys who all said it would be impossible for this to be achieved regardless of me following all probation rules, they said I was up against the mos...t strict and uncompromising judge in this specific county and that early termination would not be granted. Not only did Baron take my case on, he was very transparent and explained all that would be involved. Kerri Cockerham, who is one of the paralegals and worked closely on my file/case with Baron, she was absolutely amazing to work with. She is extremely professional and on top of every detail and deadline involved, and always kept us up-to-date by following up with us and letting us know the progress of the file/case. She was Baron’s right hand and together they are a dynamite team. It was initially Karrie who we spoke to, when we were looking for yet another attorney. Her professionalism and Dedication not only impressed us but her true passion for what she does and how she helps others is a testimony on its own. I would want to hire this firm over and over again if and when required and would do so without hesitation. Again they got me the outcome that I required when every other attorney stated that they could not help me. One of the other things that really impressed me about this firm and Baron as an attorney was that he never shied away from giving us a phone call himself talking to us giving us his time without charging us for additional time. I would want again they got me the outcome that I required when every other attorney stated that they cannot help me. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you guys you’ve given me a new chapter in life. I will forever be grateful. Thank you.

HANDS DOWN BEST ATTORNEY IN TEXAS

Baron is the man!!! He got me early termination of probation in front of the most strictest judge in the state of Texas. The best part was I didn’t even have to show up. Baron and Kerri were always upfront and honest and always kept me posted. If you go with Baron trust me you won’t regret it.

DWI

There are attorneys that claim they will help you and all they want is your money, but Baron Eliason is someone that can be trusted. He's a Christian and he follows through about what he says he's going to do and treats you with respect and like family. He helped me get a great deal and it was bette...r than having a DWI on my record God bless you Baron. Daniel

"I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Baron when I was as a prosecutor at the Lubbock County District Attorney's office. Baron is a dedicated advocate for his clients, and truly cares about each individual. He has an immense knowledge and understanding of the law, particularly DWI/DUI. I have also had the privilege of watching Baron in the courtroom and can attest to his brilliant skills as an orator as well as his uncanny ability to tell his client's story. Any client would be lucky to have Baron fighting for them."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Baron for over 10 years. I first met him when he became my senior pastor at WPC in Lubbock. He was a licensed attorney as well as a pastor. I always thought it would be amazing to practice law with him and when the time was right he came to work with us. I have tried cases with Baron and I have seen first hand his abilities. He can cross examine witnesses with the best trial lawyer I know. His true calling is his ability to connect with the client. He feels true empathy for people and he is able to communicate that to a judge, a prosecutor or a jury. I highly endorse Baron as both a lawyer and a great person."
