Biography


Elizabeth Wilkerson is driven by natural inquisitiveness and a dedication to uncovering creative solutions for her clients. As a trial attorney at Reynolds Frizzell, she prides herself on her ability to delve deep into research and quickly learn the facts and business considerations of a new case to help her clients tackle any type of challenge.  Elizabeth has mastered the cross-disciplinary approach, with experience spanning the banking, insurance, media, and oil and gas industries.  Elizabeth has represented clients in civil litigation, at the trial court and appellate levels, and in the course of internal investigations.

Pursuing a career in the legal industry felt like a natural fit for Elizabeth, who worked as a paralegal for the United States Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York before earning a J.D. from New York University School of Law. During law school, Elizabeth served as Staff Editor of the Annual Survey of American Law and clerked for the Department of Justice in the Environment and Natural Resources Division. After law school, she practiced at an international law firm in New York City and clerked for Chief Judge Janet DiFiore on the New York Court of Appeals.  In 2021, Elizabeth returned to her Houston roots and joined Reynolds Frizzell.
