Travis Easton is a Co-Managing Partner at Easton & Easton, LLP, and has been the lead figure in some of the firm’s most prominent cases in recent years. Travis joined the firm in 2014 and has acquired more than $150,000,000 for his clients over his career.*
Working alongside his father Doug and brothers Brian and Matt, Travis is part of a family of attorneys uniquely able to synergize their efforts to achieve exceptional results for their clients. Travis’ love for personal injury representation stems from his years of work for Easton & Easton throughout his adolescent, college, and law school years. Whether it was taking calls, drafting settlement demands, or organizing medical records, Travis saw firsthand how a person’s damaged life could be changed for the better through hard work and effective advocacy.
Representing injured people against large insurance companies, corporations, and other so-called “Goliaths” brings a special satisfaction to Travis. Helping clients like these has become a passion that drives him to obtain justice for those who have been seriously injured.
Personal Note
Like his father and brothers, Travis took two years off from college to serve as a missionary for his church in Tijuana, Mexico. While serving the people in Tijuana, Travis fell in love with the Hispanic people and their culture (especially the food). Travis is an Eagle Scout and continues to serve in his church in many different capacities. While in college, Travis married his beautiful sweetheart, Whitney, who has incessantly supported him throughout his career. They have three children, Will, Juliet, and Charlie and Travis loves being a father. Travis has coached Will’s baseball and basketball teams the past several years and loves working with him on the field and court. Travis also loves to participate in all types of sports and outdoor activities, including weightlifting, basketball, baseball, golf, surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and waterskiing.
Experience Overview
As one of the managing partners at Easton & Easton, Travis Easton has built an impressive career on a strong foundation of extensive expertise in pre-litigation strategy and internal optimization to drive results for the firm. Frustrated by the time-consuming, manual process of settlement demand drafting, he set out to improve the firm’s ability to continue to write high-quality settlement demands in a more efficient manner by utilizing AI. The result was an internal AI solution that generates comprehensive, narrative-style, and emotionally compelling demand drafts in minutes that maximize case value. Travis’s innovation has empowered Easton & Easton to boost efficiency (allowed the firm to be able to handle twice as many cases) and enhance client service without compromising legal rigor. Travis continues to look for and develop other AI tools within the firm to allow Easton & Easton to provide better representation for its clients in a more efficient manner.
