For decades, The Carlson Law Firm has built its reputation on advocating for those injured through no fault of their own. In Bryan-College Station, that mission takes on a distinctly local focus.
The firm’s Bryan office exclusively handles personal injury cases, representing clients navigating the aftermath of car accidents, premises liability incidents and other serious injuries. With deep knowledge of the area, the team helps clients pursue fair compensation while guiding them through a complex legal process.
Partner Kathryn Knotts is at the center of that work. Her approach extends beyond legal representation and into the community itself.
Rooted in community and driven by purpose
Knotts has spent more than two decades representing Texans who have been injured through no fault of their own. Since joining The Carlson Law Firm in 2005, she has built her career on holding negligent parties accountable, while helping clients move forward after life-altering events.
But her role doesn’t stop at the office.
Knotts maintains an active presence throughout Bryan and the surrounding area, from sponsoring school programs to volunteering with local organizations. For example, she serves on the North Zulch ISD Board of Trustees and supports initiatives that benefit students and families across the region.
“We’re very community-focused, and it matters to us that we are local,” managing partner Craig Carlson said. “When someone comes into the practice, they’re seeing Kathryn; they’re seeing the person that’s been out in their community.”
That visibility has helped establish a sense of familiarity and trust; one that carries over when clients need legal support.
Building connection through community events
That same commitment to connection is reflected in the Bryan office’s outreach efforts, including an annual movie night designed to bring families together.
The free event, hosted outside the office, centers on literacy, offering books for all ages, alongside a family-friendly film and refreshments. Over the years, it has grown into a highly anticipated gathering for local residents.

Education and prevention are at the forefront
While Knotts is known for her work in personal injury law, much of her focus is on preventing injuries before they happen.
She regularly participates in safety initiatives, including presentations for students on distracted driving and educating the public on what to do after a car accident. Through media segments, she shares practical guidance to help individuals stay informed and prepared.
“She’s very safety-focused; she doesn’t necessarily want to see people coming into her office,” Carlson said. “She wants to avoid anyone being injured, but in the case that they are, she’s there for them.”
Whether guiding a client through recovery or handing out books at a local event, the goal remains the same: to support the people of Bryan-College Station in meaningful, lasting ways.
