These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“CJ has a rare combination of presence and credibility in the courtroom that make him equally effective at a hearing or in closing argument. He has a natural understanding of what people on the jury care about and that shows in his results. He is also one of the best negotiators I have ever seen. As effective in mediation as at trial.”
“When it comes to courtroom advocacy, CJ is the cream of the crop. He is a skilled and relatable courtroom litigator without bravado. Juries seem to trust CJ, shown by the significant results he is able to get for his clients. CJ is also just an upstanding lawyer and member of the bar, and is always happy to help other practitioners if he can. Super lawyer indeed.”
“CJ is a gifted trial lawyer with tremendous experience prosecuting personal injury claims.”

I have worked with many personal injury attorneys around the state, and C.J.'s firm is always my first choice. Armstrong Lee & Baker is the best personal injury firm in Texas.”
