Baxter Law is the Best!

I have known Casey for nearly ten years. He is a fantastic lawyer and has helped my family out on various occasions over the years. He is professional and ensures that his firm keeps our legal dealings confidential. He is always available, even in the early morning and evening. You never know what wi...ll come up, and you may need a lawyer to talk to; Casey’s firm will help you no matter the time of day. I highly recommend Baxter Law; he has lots of experience, and if he doesn’t have expertise in a specific area, he will point you to a lawyer who can help.

Glad I found him

After doing a rather thorough review of my options I was not impressed favorably with what I found untill I called Mr Casey Baxters office. Casey Baxter is the one who understood the law and guided me through what seemed to be insurmountable odds. Against me was a witness that didn't understand what... he thought he saw and an instigator that thought he was getting away with causing an accident and creating chaos putting many people's very lives at risk. The district attorney was wanting to pin two felonies and a misdemeanor on me. It is an uphill battle when you have witnesses against you and Mr. Casey Baxter managed to get all the original charges dropped along with the need to get finger printed, mug shot, do community service and restitution. That was no easy thing to accomplish but by putting my trust in him I received the confedent guidance that I needed to persevere and overcome the huge injustice that I was being burdened with. Mr. Casey Baxter is the friend you need on your side and if I were to need representation again I will talk to him first. If you want to protect your reputation and record, believe me you want the best. If you have Mr. Casey Baxter working for you, you will sleep better knowing that you are being served well.

Smart, Caring & Professional

I am a 32-year veteran of the Oregon Army National Guard, retiring as a brigadier general. Concurrently, I served 35 years as a law enforcement professional and executive; 27 years with the Portland Police, retiring as a captain and 8 years as the United States Marshal Service for the District of Ore...gon. I have served at all levels of these organizations. Accordingly, I am schooled in assessing the competency of those with whom I work with.   As a 15 year resident of Central Oregon, I have been actively engaged with a number of service organizations including Central Oregon Veterans Military Officers Association (local and state level) and the Oregon Youth Challenge Program. I am also an elected director for Crook County Fire and Rescue. I have known Casey Baxter since 2017 when he joined the Board of Directors for Central Oregon Veterans Outreach. We both still serve on the Board. His concern for the needs of our military veterans is extraordinary. I know him to be smart, articulate and a true professional, putting the interests of his clients at the forefront.  I would highly recommend his legal services and firm to anyone in need..

Integrity above reproach

I have worked closely with Casey Baxter for many years as a member of the non-profit board of directors for Central Oregon Veterans Outreach (COVO). Casey has demonstrated exception knowledge and leadership skills as a board member and carries these valuable traits into his personal and professional... life. He exemplifies the core values of Integrity First, Service before Self, and Excellence in all that he does. Casey has proven be a reliable indispensable counsel. He never promises more than he can deliver but always delivers what he promises. I would not hesitate to retain his counsel on any personal or professional matter. James E. Cunningham, Brig Gen (ret), USAF

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
