Biography

Michael Williamson, a personal injury trial lawyer with SWLA Injury Attorneys, has nearly 20 years of legal experience in Lake Charles. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Government from Louisiana State University in 2002 and a Juris Doctorate from LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 2006. Licensed by the Louisiana Bar Association in 2007, Michael spent over a decade as a civil defense attorney before transitioning to advocate for individuals affected by life-altering events.

His extensive defense background equips him with unique insights, enabling him to craft effective strategies for his clients.

Outside of work, Michael values family and community. He spends quality time with his wife and three children, enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and camping. A passionate sports enthusiast, he also plays soccer, which helps him stay active and focused. Deeply rooted in the Lake Charles community, Michael combines his legal acumen with a dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of his clients and neighbors.

Michael goes above and beyond to evaluate the lawsuit so that we can determine how to proceed. He has settled lawsuits before discovery in some cases when it was warranted.
