Details

Devon Williamson is the founder of DevonLaw, PLLC, a personal injury law firm based in Nashville, Tennessee, serving clients throughout Tennessee and Florida. Her practice focuses on representing individuals injured in:

  • Car Accidents
  • Truck Accidents
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Slip and Fall Incidents
  • Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Mrs. Williamson earned her bachelor’s degree in communication and public relations from The University of Alabama in 2014. She went on to receive her Juris Doctor from Belmont University College of Law in 2017. After law school, she began her legal career as a criminal prosecutor in Brevard County, Florida, serving in the 18th Judicial Circuit. She is licensed to practice law in Tennessee and Florida, and is also admitted to the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Tennessee.

Following her time as a prosecutor, Mrs. Williamson returned to Nashville and transitioned into plaintiff’s personal injury law. In September 2022, she founded DevonLaw, PLLC, inspired by a desire to provide more client-focused representation. She observed that many injury law firms prioritize quick settlements, often at the expense of their clients’ best interests. At DevonLaw, her mission is to prioritize each client’s well-being, aiming for efficient resolutions while remaining fully prepared to take cases to trial when necessary.

With extensive courtroom and jury trial experience, Mrs. Williamson brings a strong litigation background to every case. She takes the time to understand each client’s individual situation, ensuring that the compensation they receive truly supports their recovery and long-term needs.

She is an active member of the Nashville Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division and has been recognized for her professional accomplishments. In 2024, she was named to the Nashville Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 list. She has also received the Attorney for Justice Award from the Tennessee Supreme Court and was honored as a “Top 40 Under 40” personal injury attorney in Tennessee by The National Trial Lawyers.
