"If you need a stellar attorney, call Casey Baxter!"
Casey Baxter is a great attorney. I was involved in a misdemeanor case in which the party involved assaulted me, made false allegations, and filed a restraining order and stalking order against me. These were very serious allegations and the other party thought it was funny that he could make erroneous statements to the police without consequences; however, Casey Baxter and his team got the restraining order, stalking order and misdemeanor cases all dismissed and the best part is he also won a $5,000.00 judgment in my favor against the other party. That's a win, win, win, win scenario. If you need a stellar attorney, call Casey Baxter!
