Chris Williamson is an Oklahoma and Texas-licensed attorney and the Managing Attorney of New Horizons Financial Law, PLLC. He represents individuals facing debt-related, credit, bankruptcy, and consumer financial matters.
With nearly two decades of experience in highly regulated financial-services environments before becoming an attorney, Chris brings a unique perspective to financial law. He understands both the systems and processes used by financial institutions and the stress individuals can experience when they are on the other side of those systems.
His goal is to make the legal process feel less intimidating by providing clear explanations, practical guidance, and a judgment-free environment where clients can understand their options and make informed decisions about their financial future.
Before founding New Horizons Financial Law, Chris spent nearly two decades working in highly regulated financial-services environments.
During that time, he led large teams, managed complex recovery and collections operations, evaluated legal and operational risk, and worked closely with internal stakeholders, outside counsel, and vendor networks.
That experience gave Chris a practical understanding of how financial institutions operate and how financial matters are handled from the other side of the process.
More importantly, it gave him insight into what individuals may experience when dealing with overwhelming debt, credit concerns, collections, and financial uncertainty.
Today, Chris combines that financial-services experience with his legal training to help individuals better understand their circumstances and the options available to them.
Chris believes in a simple truth:
Bad things happen to good people.
By the time someone contacts an attorney about debt or credit problems, they may already have spent months or even years dealing with worry, stress, and uncertainty.
Chris believes the first conversation should make things easier—not more intimidating.
Chris takes the time to understand what is happening before discussing potential solutions. Every client’s situation is different, and understanding the circumstances is an important first step.
Legal and financial matters can be complicated. Chris focuses on explaining those issues in plain language so clients can understand what is happening and what their options may be.
Rather than assuming there is only one solution, Chris helps clients understand the options that may be available based on their individual circumstances.
Clients do not need a lecture about how they arrived at their current situation. Chris focuses on helping them understand where they are today and what they can do next.
The goal is to help clients leave the conversation with greater clarity and a practical understanding of their next steps.
Before entering the legal profession, Chris spent nearly 20 years working in highly regulated financial-services environments.
His experience includes leadership, recovery and collections operations, risk evaluation, and working with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

Financial problems can affect far more than a person’s finances. They can create stress, uncertainty, and fear about what the future may hold.
Chris understands that contacting an attorney can feel like a difficult first step.
His goal is to make that conversation different.
Clients can expect a straightforward discussion about their circumstances, their concerns, and the options that may be available to them. Chris believes people deserve to be heard and respected, regardless of how they arrived at their current financial situation.
