Valerie D. Baston
Valerie has been a practicing Texas attorney for almost twenty-three years and spent the majority of her career as an Assistant District Attorney in the criminal and civil sections. She decided to leave the District Attorney’s Office for private practice with a focus on criminal defense and plaintiff work because she believed she could make more of a positive and personal impact on her clients.
Why She Cares
Valerie believes everyone deserves great legal representation. Whether it is a criminal case or a personal injury claim, Texans need attorneys that will fight for their rights.
