A formidable advocate in complex mass tort litigation

When our community faced a significant environmental contamination issue, we needed an attorney with deep expertise in complex, multi-party litigation. Russell Budd and his team at Baron & Budd were exactly that. His decades of experience, particularly in mass torts, were evident from our first consultation. He explained the intricate class action process with clarity, never talking down to us, and his strategic approach was both meticulous and aggressive. It’s no surprise he’s been recognized multiple times as Lawyer of the Year in this field. The resolution he secured was far beyond our expectations, providing meaningful restitution. For anyone navigating a large-scale injury case, Russell Budd is the definitive choice in Dallas.
