Kristen Weaver

Kristen Weaver is a powerhouse litigator and a key leader on the Trust Guss Injury Lawyers team. As a Senior Litigation Attorney, Kristen brings a sharp legal mind, a deep well of empathy, and an unwavering commitment to client success. Since joining the firm in 2019, she has built a reputation for fearless advocacy and results-driven strategy, guiding cases from lawsuit filing through trial with confidence, clarity, and care.

Kristen earned her undergraduate degree in Business from Texas State University before graduating from South Texas College of Law in 2015. She is a certified mediator and licensed to practice in the State of Texas and the Southern Federal District of Texas. Her legal career began in high-net-worth divorce, estate planning, and contested probate, but her passion for advocacy ultimately led her to personal injury law, where she found her true calling.

At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, Kristen leads litigation efforts with an all-in mindset—drafting motions, taking depositions, negotiating settlements, and, when needed, going to trial. She also supervises pre-litigation teams, ensuring every case is built precisely. Her experience with traumatic brain injury clients has shaped a uniquely compassionate approach to communication and strategy, allowing her to connect with clients and tailor her legal tactics to each individual’s story.

Her excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed: Kristen has been named a Top 40 Under 40 multiple times, recognized by Lawyers of Distinction, and most recently selected as a 2025 Texas Rising Star Super Lawyer.Kristen is an active member of several prestigious legal associations, including the Houston Young Lawyers Association, Houston Trial Lawyers Association, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, and the American Association of Justice.

Kristen’s competitive spirit still thrives outside the courtroom—honed from a childhood and college career in gymnastics. When she's not advocating for clients, you’ll find her reading, working out, cheering at peewee football games, or hanging out with family and friends at pro sporting events (and petting every dog in sight).

Her motto? “Change your thoughts, and you can change your world.” It’s a fitting philosophy for someone who gives 100% to everything she does—whether she’s flipping into action in a courtroom or into the spotlight at the firm’s next talent show.

Get to Know: Kristen Weaver

Why did you get into Personal Injury Law?

“I got into personal injury law for the totally cliché reason, to help people. I just thought that the system had gotten too complicated and people were really being treated unfairly for instances that they truly weren’t responsible for and it just wasn’t fair. I wanted to be the person that stood up for them, fought for them, and got them what they felt they deserved. Another cliché is that ‘nothing in life is fair,’ but I’d really like to step in where I can to help change that.”

Do you have any hidden talents or surprising hobbies?

“I competed on the US National Team for gymnastics when I was younger.”

What is your go-to comfort food?

“Mac n’ cheese, anywhere, anytime.”

If you could know more about one thing, what would it be?

“I don’t think I could pick just one. I want to know more about different cultures, old cars, art history, salsa dancing, cooking, wine, fitness, sports, just to name a few.”

What does it mean to you to work for Stewart J Guss, Attorney at Law?

“Working for Stewart means I have a chance to work for someone who actually puts their clients before their bottom line. Stewart has one of the most refreshing perspectives on this business that I have ever heard. It also means an opportunity to work with a team that is always striving to learn more and provide more help to as many people as we can.”

What did you think you were going to be when growing up?

“I wanted to be everything growing up, from a firefighter to a CEO. I landed on lawyer.”

What is your favorite TV show or movie?

“I’m a Harry Potter fanatic that can keep up with the best of them, and I’d watch The Italian Job on repeat if my boyfriend didn’t take the remote away.”
