Kristen Lawhorn

Kristen Lawhorn is a dedicated personal injury attorney at The Wilhite Law Firm, where she channels more than fifteen years of legal experience into fighting for Texans whose lives have been upended by serious accidents. Licensed to practice in Texas since 2010, Kristen has built a reputation as a compassionate advocate and a tenacious litigator who refuses to let insurance companies dictate the value of a person's recovery. For her, every case begins with a simple commitment: to understand what her clients have lost and to pursue the full measure of justice they deserve.

Kristen earned her Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law, one of Texas's most respected legal institutions, graduating in 2010. The rigorous training she received there shaped the meticulous, detail-driven approach she brings to every claim. She believes that thorough preparation is the foundation of strong advocacy, and she invests the time to investigate each accident carefully, document the true scope of her clients' injuries, and build cases that hold negligent parties fully accountable.

Her skill and professionalism have not gone unnoticed by her peers. Kristen was selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for five consecutive years, from 2019 through 2023 — a distinction reserved for only a small percentage of attorneys in the state who demonstrate both peer recognition and a record of professional achievement. This honor reflects the respect she has earned within the Texas legal community and the consistency with which she delivers for the people she represents.

At The Wilhite Law Firm, Kristen helps individuals and families navigate the aftermath of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle collisions, and other devastating events caused by the carelessness of others. She understands that behind every personal injury case is a person facing pain, mounting medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about the future. That understanding fuels her unwavering dedication. She meets her clients with genuine compassion, listens closely to their concerns, and stands beside them at every stage — from the first consultation through negotiation and, when necessary, the courtroom.

What truly sets Kristen apart is her combination of warmth and resolve. She treats clients like people, not case numbers, and she fights for them with the kind of persistence that gives injured Texans the confidence that someone is firmly in their corner. Whether she is going toe-to-toe with a reluctant insurer or guiding a family through one of the most difficult chapters of their lives, Kristen brings the experience, skill, and heart that have made her a trusted advocate at The Wilhite Law Firm.
