Crawford, Wishnew & Lang Adds Christopher Hamilton in Dallas
Christopher E. Hamilton has joined Crawford, Wishnew & Lang PLLC in its office in Dallas.
In a release, the firm said Christopher, a native Texan who was a U.S. Navy SEAL before pursuing a career in law, has experience in representing individuals and entities in matters involving construction defects, products liability, personal injury and wrongful death, among other things. His practice at CWL also will include other areas of litigation, including business, employment and intellectual property disputes.
Hamilton graduated from Texas A&M School of Law in 2018, where he was decorated and active within the school’s Oral Advocacy Program, placed second in the National Sports Law Negotiation Competition, and was named chair of the Alternative Dispute Resolution section. He received the Order of the Barristers prior to his graduation.
The firm said that, as a law student, Hamilton interned with Dallas District Court Judge Bonnie Goldstein and, during that time, met and developed a relationship with CWL partners Dave Wishnew, Michael Lang and Trey Crawford. This relationship initially led to Hamilton taking a clerkship at the partners’ former firm, Gruber Hail Johansen Shank LLP, and, ultimately, led to Christopher joining CWL as an associate.
His service as a U.S. Navy SEAL and Central Intelligence Agency operator spanned more than 11 years, during which time he conducted operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Pakistan.
