Elecia Byrd

Elecia Byrd is a native Texan with a passion for helping others. A member of the firm’s personal injury section in Austin, this talented litigator focuses her practice on automobile accidents, product injuries, traumatic brain injuries, premises liability, dog bites, and more.

Elecia finds purpose as a personal injury lawyer, dedicating herself to helping injury victims who cannot help themselves. She takes great pride in her ability to bond with clients and enjoys not only acting as a legal counselor but also helping people with their recovery.

Having dealt with very close family loss in the past, Elecia can deeply relate to clients who are suffering from catastrophic injuries or a loss of a loved one. She devotes herself to guiding her clients through their recovery, checking up on them, and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Elecia graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. After beginning her career as a teacher in the Belton Independent School District, she decided that her true calling was to be a lawyer and eventually earned her juris doctorate from The University of Texas at Austin School of Law.

During law school, Elecia served as staff editor of the Texas Journal on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights, as president of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society, and as a member of Youth Court, helping at-risk youths from entering the school-to-prison pipeline. She also worked as a student attorney in both the Children’s Rights Clinic and the Domestic Violence Clinic, where she represented clients in court under the supervision of a licensed attorney. It was this experience that solidified her desire to better the lives of individuals through her advocacy skills.

Elecia has benefited her industry as a member of the Capital Area Trial Lawyers Association, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the Texas Young Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice, and the Austin Black Lawyers Association.

In her free time, Elecia enjoys exploring Austin’s various food and music festivals, spending time with her family and her church group, and volunteering once a week with Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid to provide pro bono legal services to those in need. She is also an avid football fan – Go Texans! Go Longhorns!
