About Chris
Chris Hammons earned his law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law. He built his legal foundation there before entering practice in Oklahoma. The law school years gave him classroom training and a practical introduction to litigation, which shaped his approach to representing injured people.
He became a founding partner in 2009 at Laird Hammons Laird Personal Injury Lawyers. That year marked the launch of a small trial firm that has handled civil claims across the state. As a founding partner he helped shape the firm's case-handling protocols, courtroom strategy and client intake processes. His role has combined management duties with hands-on litigation.
Hammons practices in personal injury law. He handles claims arising from vehicle collisions and other serious accidents. He represents clients in negotiations and in court when cases proceed to trial. His work includes taking depositions, briefing dispositive motions and preparing cases for hearings and jury trials. He routinely appears in Oklahoma courts on behalf of injured people.
Over the years at Laird Hammons Laird, Hammons has overseen the growth of the office and managed teams of attorneys and staff. He has been involved in the selection of cases the firm pursues and in directing the litigation strategy for complex matters. The practice combines pre-suit investigation, settlement negotiations and trial preparation. Casework requires attention to medical records, evidence handling and coordination with experts.
Clients and colleagues describe his courtroom style as straightforward. He favors clear explanations of legal options and practical timelines for resolution. He prioritizes keeping clients informed about developments and decisions in their cases. That approach influences how the firm structures client communications and case updates.
Outside of individual client work, the day-to-day business of running a trial firm falls under his supervision. That includes oversight of litigation budgets, scheduling and the training of junior attorneys. He balances administrative responsibilities with an active caseload.
As an Oklahoma-licensed attorney who helped found a regional personal injury firm, Hammons has spent much of his career handling litigation for injured people. He continues to practice at Laird Hammons Laird Personal Injury Lawyers, focusing on personal injury matters and trial representation.
