Elecia Byrd

With a robust background in personal injury law, Elecia Byrd brings a blend of tenacity, exceptional writing skills, and compelling oral advocacy to her practice. Licensed to practice in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, Elecia has navigated a broad spectrum of personal injury cases, including motor vehicle negligence, premises liability, dog attacks, trucking accidents, and wrongful death claims.

Elecia grew up in Houston, Texas, where her passion for writing led her to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature with a minor in Pedagogy, influenced by her family’s deep-rooted commitment to education. Though she initially considered a career in teaching, Elecia chose to channel her skills into the legal field, driven by a desire to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

After earning her law degree from the University of Texas School of Law, Elecia dedicated her career to advocating for individuals who have suffered personal injuries. Her personal experience with loss, having lost her mother at a young age, profoundly shapes her empathetic approach to client representation. This empathy, combined with her rigorous advocacy and meticulous writing abilities, enables Elecia to effectively address and resolve the complexities of her clients’ cases.

Elecia’s professional experience is complemented by her role as an adjunct professor for the paralegal program at a local community college, where she taught Introduction to Law. This experience underscores her commitment to legal education and her ability to communicate complex legal concepts with clarity.

Outside of her practice, Elecia cherishes time with her husband and three children. She enjoys cheering on the Houston Texans and Texas Longhorns. Her dedication to her clients, coupled with her diverse skills and personal experiences, makes Elecia a formidable advocate and a compassionate ally in the pursuit of justice.
