About Baron
Biography
Our Team of Trial Lawyers have tried over 650 Jury trials.
We have Not Guilty verdicts from Class C misdemeanors to first-degree felony cases in Texas.
As for me, after 25 years in the ministry as a pastor in several churches, I have returned to the law. Standing up for people when they are down comes very naturally to me and I look forward to hearing your story and helping you to protect your future.
Stephen Hamilton says: "Baron’s lifetime of work is defined by a heart for others and a passion to help them successfully navigate the legal, spiritual, and business challenges of life with attention to the client’s need for expertise and responsive communication throughout the process. To this work, Baron brings a pastor’s ear and heart to both your case in the judicial system and/or your hopes and dreams in the business world."
In terms of my associations and commitment to staying current, I am a graduate of the Tim Evans Texas Criminal Defense Trial College and I'm certified in the Standard Field Sobriety Tests used by law enforcement in DWI investigations. I am also a member of the Texas Bar College which requires a commitment to continuing legal education well beyond the minimum requirements for bar membership.
Professional associations include LCDLA, TCDLA, DUIDLA, and the Criminal Justice Section of the State Bar of Texas.

Baron Eliason Review
I have been working with Baron for several months now regarding my charges for possession of marijuana.

Baron was very polite and patient with me. He was certain to explain everything to me in a way that was easy to understand.

He is a very good lawyer. He made sure I was always up to date with everything. Like most people, I did not know what to expect. He made sure I fully understood everything. He also always answered my calls/emails promptly. Worth hiring for sure!

Baron Edmund Eliason's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Baron is the most compassionate, well rounded attorney that I have ever worked with. Baron works hard on clients cases and keeps the pressure on the prosecutor's office to get the best results possible."
"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."
"Baron Eliason is a sharp legal mind, empathetic counselor, and talented orator. He is a fantastic attorney."
"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."
