I recently had the privilege of working with an exceptional lawyer from this team Casey Baxter, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the remarkable services they provided that has helped me from the lowest point to the highest point. From the moment I sought their counsel until the successful resolution of my case, this attorney team walked me through every step and explained in detail about every question I had. Throughout the entire legal process, Casey demonstrated an impressive command of the law and the best ability to devise effective strategies. Their depth of knowledge, combined with their razor-sharp analytical skills, allowed them to navigate my case with utmost precision and finesse. It was evident that they had invested a substantial amount of time and effort into thoroughly understanding the intricacies of my situation. I thought the entire time that they are putting every effort into helping me with my situation. What truly set this lawyer apart, was their unwavering commitment to my well-being and their genuine concern for my interests. They made it their priority to listen attentively, treating me with respect, empathy, and understanding. By taking the time to truly understand my goals and concerns, they catered their approach to ensure my needs were met every step of the way. Their exceptional communication skills were another asset that greatly contributed to my peace of mind throughout the legal process, having access in today's world for every way to communicate is where this shined. I had the team's phone number just in case that I had another question, I got emails very frequently giving me updates on the paperwork after the trial was over. They effortlessly translated complex legal jargon into plain language, allowing me to comprehend the nuances of my case fully. This made me feel very good that I was not just another person but someone they care about and would like to solve the issues I was having. I have never had an experience like this before, when it came to represent me, they let me know how things would work and when we expect the next update. When I have never been in a position like this before, it was very nice to have someone take my hand and walk with me. I will always come back here for help with things like this again and I recommend this firm to anyone with problems like this. read more

I'm an outside state resident I had a reckless driving and endangering another person violation, and on top of that a warrant. I had been looking for a lawyer to call for a while and everyone I talked to was just not understanding my circumstances until I reached Baxter Harder Attorneys At Law and was put in touch with Dan Olsen. That same day I was able to explain what had happened to Dan, he really listened and gave me consultation. Everything just felt right while talking to him, he didn't rush at all, asked me all the key questions about the situation and took my case. He introduced me to his paralegal Kerri Baker, who is just such a good communicator. She requested all that Dan asked for and was available by phone or e-mail every time I reached the office in professional pleasant way. Dan and Kerri were on top of the case and constantly communicating with me every step of the way. For the first step they had my warrant dropped and right away they filed for a court date, and a meeting call with Dan. Dan explained further with what information he had received from the DA and walked me through with what will most likely happen from the past experience he had as a past DA himself. I was able to go in court by video call since I was an out of state resident and Dan was right by side. The Judge put me in for another court date and I was ordered to go in for fingerprints and pictures. Kerri reach me again with an appointment with Dan by phone and I waited. On a Friday late afternoon while I was at work Dan called me and he said "I wanted you to have a good weekend and I didn't want to wait till Monday to give you the good news, your case is DISMISSED and the Judge signed the paper 20 minutes ago." It was as if spring was here again, I was thrilled, happy and so thankful to Dan. I knew I couldn't have had my case dismissed without him. And the fact that he stayed late that day to give me the news was just amazing. Kerri send me all the papers that same late afternoon for my record and confirmed that I didn't have to drive to get my fingerprints and pictures taken any more. I'm so glad I chose Dan from Baxter Harder to be my lawyer, I received an answer better than what I ever imagined. I recommend Dan and Kerri from Baxter Harder to any one, the team is professional and outstanding. read more

Baxter Harder might be the best law firm in this town! Faced with a cheating wife, a false arrest leading to false charges, I didn't know where to turn. I chose Baxter Harder after having many consultations with other firms. I originally spoke with Casey Baxter who believed me right away when I said the charges were false. He was clear, he was direct and most importantly he was unbelievably confident. A little while later my ex filed divorce papers and leveraged her position with the criminal charges and Baxter Harder was right there to catch me with an amazing Family Law team as well. My criminal team led by Casey Baxter also included Dan Olson. Together the two of them worked tirelessly to bring the true evidence to light, that clearly showed that should never have been charged by the DA in the first place. Casey later told me that the firm was bringing on a former Dechutes county DA named Phil Duong who ended up being instrumental in my dismissal, and also ended up being an absolute pleasure to work with. He and I sat together for hours pouring over details and tirelessly criticizing every detail of the DA's position until we were beyond confident that we were presenting the best case that we could. In the end based on all the counter evidence we were able to present, the state ended up dismissing all the charges before it even got to trial. I credit the entire legal team at Baxter Harder for the dismissal. The addition of Phil is such an amazing add to this already blockbuster team. Having a case like this dismissed before the trial ever happens is always the desired result. I am convinced that only happened for me because of Casey, Dan, and Phil. They are heavy hitters, and they go above and beyond for their clients. I am so happy with these results. Thank you so much Baxter Harder! I am so lucky to have found this law firm. read more

I obviously can only give a reference based on my experience and that is what this is. My experience. This firm represented me and my interest as good as I could have expected. It's my opinion, I got the best possible outcome for my situation other than a complete dismissal - which was not to be reasonably expected for my circumstances. Casey is a brilliant attorney. He used to be an ADA for Deschutes County so he knows how prosecutors think and how they look at cases. Casey is personable, friendly and a highly competent and experienced attorney. His Executive Paralegal, Kerri, who essentially runs the show, is amazing. You'll spend the vast majority of your time working with her if Casey is your attorney. Be nice to her... And patient... You're not her only case... but she is incredibly talented and highly professional and will work hard for you. Casey is an excellent attorney and he has a lot of cases because of this. Which makes him and Kerri very busy. If you need an excessive amount of hand holding and phone time they may not be for you. But, if you're willing to trust them and let them do their job... they'll come through for you. At least they did for me and like I mentioned... this is a review based on my experience. I also wanted to add my experience with Ryan, another attorney at the firm. He handled the final negotiations of my case. I have similar sentiments about him as I do Casey and Kerri. He's an excellent attorney and I believe he did an excellent job explaining to me the various factors of my case, the details of the hearings, the potential outcomes and ultimately, like I said, I got the best possible outcome I could have hoped for due to their and his work. read more

What do I want to tell you about David Haskett? He is AMAZING!! David represented me with my divorce and me being a victim of domestic violence he made me feel confident in his representation of me. He was kind, truthful, patient, and respectful. I truly believe that David was on my side and not just because it was his job. He has a genuine passion for what he does. David was tough and ethical and didn't back down from pressure. This was a very complicated processes and David always in control made me feel assured he had me as a priority. Always returning emails or calls in a timely manner. You might have thought that when the pedmenic hit and stay at home orders were implemented this would slow the process down, but David never missed a beat. Nothing was going to stop him from getting me what was legally mine. I would recommend David Haskett to anyone that needs a divorce attorney. His straight forward approach and passion for what he does sets him apart. The first attorney I went was unable to represent me due to conflict issues and he recommended Mr. Haskett. Don't get me wrong the first attorney would have done ok, but David fought for me not just represented me. I should send my ex a thank you note for the conflict issues. He did not know what he was doing as this brought me to Davis Haskett. Through this process was complicated David didn't shy away, he hit it head on. Having someone believe in me and fight so hard for me is helping me through me healing process as well. I did get what was legally mine. Thank you, David, for all you have done! Dawn Marie read more

Casey Baxter, has my highest endorsement to be your legal counsel. I have known Casey since he was a high school student in my Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps class. I took the position as the Senior Naval Science Instructor (SNSI) after 26 years as a Marine officer. I started my career as a second lieutenant commanding a rifle platoon in Vietnam. I was twice a company commander, commanding officer of a ship's detachment guarding special weapons, and a Group Commander of 3,400 Marines and Navy sailors in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I also headed intelligence operations in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. In addition to being the SNSI I have served on several boards here in Bend, High Desert Forum, Caring for Troops, Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, and others. The mentoring and experiences I had during my career has helped me to better understand human behavior. In my opinion, the most important aspect of behavior is integrity. Since I have known Casey, he has continued to develop and internalize this in his life. He has demonstrated he fully understands that setting realistic goals and standards are paramount and to reach these goals one must be responsible and accountable. He has always followed these principles and is tenacious in his efforts to follow through. A quick review of his credentials shows that Casey is highly qualified to provide outstanding legal services. I can unequivocally say that he has the patience, persistence, desire, and commitment necessary to represent his clients. Michael V. Brock Colonel, USMC (Ret) read more

Though we never plan to find ourselves in trouble with the law, when it happens, we pray we have adequate legal representation. Especially when we cannot afford our own attorney, and must be appointed one by the courts. I found myself in just this situation back in April of 2015. And the courts appointed me Casey Baxter. Never have I met an attorney appointed by the courts so motivated and dedicated to his client. Mr. Baxter didn't provide adequate representation in my case, he provided me with exemplary representation. Needless to say, my case was complicated and very unique, bringing about certain situations Mr. Baxter had never encountered. Yet, he dove in head first, excited to be assisting me along my path. And in the end, all of Mr. Baxter's hard work paid off. I believe that in large part because of his consistent support of my situation, I am where I am today....which is over one year clean from the drugs that got me into trouble in the first place, and a conditional discharge of my charges that I worked so hard to meet the requirements for. I don't think I would have had the outcome that I ended up with if it wasn't for Mr. Baxter. Whether you find yourself assigned to Mr. Baxter via the court system or you retain him yourself, rest assured that you are being represented by the best of Deschutes County, and Oregon. read more

Casey was absolutely amazing, he supported me every step of the way and was incredibly empathetic and was able to accommodate the circumstances. My case was out of state which made it very difficult, but Casey and Gretchen worked tirelessly to make sure I met every requirement. Casey and Gretchen really helped support me as a client and as a human being. From the moment the occurrence happened to well after the case was completed, Casey made sure I knew my options and showed his unconditional support every step of the way. I am extremely grateful for the countless hours they worked on my case. They are the reason I felt like everything was going to be okay and they still are. I felt like I could contact them at any hour to inquire about my case and Gretchen would always go out of her way to answer any question or concern I had. Gretchen was very caring and went above and beyond. Casey was extremely professional and also compassionate and while I hope to never have to see them again in this capacity, I am forever grateful for all of the work they did to help my situation. Thank you Casey and Gretchen, I truly know I wouldn't get through this without you two. I am so happy I chose Casey as my lawyer and would not hesitate to hire Baxter Harder LLC again. read more

Kelly is an OUTSTANDING attorney, he is extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing! in every aspect of my case he was very detailed and doesn't mess around. He checked in on me more than needed. I made a bad decision and earned myself a DUI, I searched for a few days and found Kelly to have great ratings and I trusted the reviews, the first time I met Kelly all of my fears and stress went away because I knew with his positive and friendly attitude that he would be the one to take care of me, he acts more as a (friend) rather than someone who just wants to pocket your money. I was nervous at first but very relaxed once I met him, He went far beyond my expectations and after my trial he has still been in contact with me to insure that I am doing well. He has let me know that if I ever have any questions that he will always be here to help. I never had to repeat myself he remembers EVERYTHING. He knows allot of people on both sides of the system, he is a very SMART, CONFIDENT and PROFECIONAL man. I highly recommend making an appointment with him and I promise you wont even think about looking anywhere else thanks again Kelly YOU ROCK I could go on and on about how satisfied I am but just go and talk to him for yourself trust me you will love him read more

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. read more

I would just like to send out a huge thank you to Casey Baxter and his law team. I was recently charged with a DUI which was extremely overwhelming, and frankly terrifying for myself and family. I called Baxter the day after it happened and they got to work immediately helping me with my case. Even just the initial conversation on the phone gave me the peace of mind that I had someone in my corner I could trust and count on to guide me through this daunting process. Given our strained financial situation they were extraordinarily understanding and worked out a payment plan that I could easily manage. Casey showed up to the DMV hearing and in the end was able to get them to disagree with the charges so I didn't lose my license. I work to provide for my wife and two children so this was absolutely the best result I could have hoped for. I would also like to personally thank Kerri Baker as well. She was so lovely to speak with and provided some much needed advice and assistance throughout the process. I pray that I don't need use them again but it's very reassuring to know I have a team of lawyers I can count on and trust if I do. I would HIGHLY recommend Baxter for legal council. read more

I recently had a need for legal representation here in Deschutes County to address what i considered a very seriuos charge. I heard good things about Baxter Law so I reached out to them via their website. Their office contacted me within a few hours. Once I explained the situation Keri, from Baxter Law, forwarded my information onto Casey Baxter. He contacted me within a few hours. I immediately felt he had a grasp of the situation and more importantly I could tell he was going to invest his sincere effort to represent me. His experience as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney made him a great fit for my case. Casey explained to me time lines and what the legal process was going to look like for my case. Keri, his office assistant, continually kept me up dated. If I had any questions, Keri or Casey immediately returned my calls with answers. Each time I spoke with anyone in their office they made me feel like I was their only client. The end result was a complete and total dismissal of all charges prior to the court date. If you need an attorney that will work hard for you and not have to be hounded to do their job. Baxter Law is your go to. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Dan Olsen and his paralegal Kerri Baker to resolve my case. Throughout the entire process, which was a stressful and uncertain one for me, I found confidence and always felt reassured by the professionalism, knowledge, resourcefulness, diligence, thoroughness, responsiveness, availability and care that Dan and Kerri exhibited. They helped me with all aspects of my case, kept me well informed and were always available to answer any questions that I had, managed all filings and interactions with the court and other parties, and provided me with forecasts and guidance to help me make the right decisions and take the right actions to ensure the best possible resolution for my case. The proceedings were clearly explained to me and I always felt like I knew where we were in the process, what the next step(s) would be, and what the potential outcomes were. In the end, the resolution for my case was better than I could have ever hoped for. Highly, highly recommended, I couldn't be more pleased or satisfied with their help and support, and I will definitely give them a call if I ever need legal representation again. read more

Generally, I think attorney's get a bad rap, until you need one. I was referred to Baxter Harder Attorneys and at our meeting I was first introduced to Tiffany Hurner, David Haskett's assistant. She was warm and friendly, yet very knowledgeable and professional. I then met my attorney, David Haskett. He had an air of energy and enthusiasm that exuded confidence. Me? I was anxious, stressed and overwhelmed. As our interaction progressed, I began to feel I was in good hands when they explained that I had a team of professionals behind me that had a culture of no-nonsense, "let's get it done" kind of an attitude. Within a couple days of our meeting the necessary documents for my case were prepared, submitted and ultimately signed by a judge. The first phase of my case was a success leaving me no longer anxious, stressed and overwhelmed. I want to thank the Baxter Harder team of professionals and specifically David and Tiffany for their expertise, experience and timeliness in moving my case forward when I thought the process would take weeks. I have no problem referring them to anyone in need of a great Family Law attorney. read more

Casey Baxter helped me an my husband through a very frustrating case that neither of us understood nor wanted to deal with. A friend recommended him to me and I am so very grateful for that! Casey and his paralegal Gretchen, who also rocks, patiently talked us through everything from day one. It was mostly over the phone as it was a long distance situation for us, but even still we were able to feel heard and safe with him as our advocate. His calming kind, and confident nature is transferrable over the phone and upon meeting him in person feels similar to seeing an old friend. I can definitely say he exceeded what we could have ever hoped for out of an attorney. It was clear that all who knew him in the court respected him and it was clear why upon witnessing his skill at delivering information well and with care. We had an above and beyond successful result out of our case which may have resulted in some tears of joy. No doubt it was due to the guidance, instruction, and skill of Casey and his team. Do yourself a favor and hire this guy to represent you. Thanks again for everything Casey! read more

I highly recommend Casey Baxter and the Baxter Harder firm to anybody who needs legal representation. Casey Baxter was more than empathetic and professional when representing me throughout my DUI case. I am truly blown away at the amount of time and care Mr. Baxter put into my case, especially being one of the founding attorneys. During my second court appearance it took almost 4 hours before my case was called, and Mr. Baxter sat there with me the entire time answering all of my last minute questions. When my case was finished, he personally called me himself to let me know the good news. Mr. Baxter's paralegal, Gretchen was my go-to while going through this process and she was nothing short of AMAZING. She truly went above and beyond for me and was always so sweet whenever I was overwhelmed. She knew I was nervous so she walked me through what my requirements were and consistently checked in with me on getting them completed. Gretchen even came to my first court appearance for extra support because of how nervous I was. Thank you Casey and Gretchen!! read more

First of all, my situation was anything but normal. My case presented a number of challenges along the way, none of which deterred Zach Santos and Eryn Sisson from performing above and beyond my expectations at every turn. If you want a lawyer/ paralegal that will endlessly fight for you without trying to break your bank (not to mention actually care) They are the ones to call! Zach is very down to earth and didn't treat my case like a job, He truly made me feel that my case was a priority and this was evident with the end results. Eryn was amazing with communication and extremely prompt with her responses. She was very helpful with all the documentation and processing all the needed information pertaining to my case. Communication was very easy with Zach and Eryn. I felt very connected, they were easy to get ahold of and made themselves available when I needed to get in touch with them despite their busy schedules and how many hoops they had to jump through for me. Baxter Harder LLC is incredibly privileged to have Zach and Eryn on their team. read more

If you find yourself in a legal complication, seek legal counsel as soon as you possibly can. Casey was incredibly effective and tactful with my case. He was able to keep the charges from being filed with the court. The State declined to file charges against me, which was the absolute best outcome I could pray for. I credit Casey Baxter and Kerri Baker for navigating an incredibly difficult situation on my behalf and landing me safely and swiftly in good standing with the court of law. If your hesitation in hiring the professionals to advocate for you concern cost, please keep in mind that any fees accrued in a drawn-out case or fees attached to conditions in the aftermath of a less than favorable ruling, will most generally always heavily outweigh retaining your lawyer. That being said, Casey's rates were more than reasonable, especially considering the results of hiring him are invaluable. I sincerely recommend Baxter & Harder to find solutions for you and follow through until the brighter end. Thank you so much, Casey & Kerri! read more

I had an amazing experience working with Mr. Baxter. Through the entire process of my case I was always in the loop receiving clear communication and education on what possible outcomes could result in terms of offers from the courts, and always felt assured that things were being taken care of on his end. The service was outstanding- always going above and beyond to speak directly with the D.A.'s office with precise knowledge made me recognize that he wasn't just in it to win it, he actually cared. Gretchen, the paralegal that worked with me, helped on numerous occasions and always kept great contact in terms of the status of my case, and never failed to put a smile on my face as well. In the end of things, with the help of the knowledge and efforts from Casey, my case was closed with prejudice and the felony charges and misdemeanors were completely dropped. I could not imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn't contacted Casey in my time of need, and will always recommend his service to anyone who needs it. 10/10! read more
