Walking into the office just long enough for everyone to remember what he looks like before heading back out on the road.

When someone asks if he's finally staying in the office today...

Absolutely not. 😏

Another road trip, another family law hearing, and another opportunity to fight for a client's future. The miles add up, but so does the commitment to serving clients wherever they need representation.

A little time on the coast to reset, recharge, and reel a few in 🎣🌊

From early mornings on the water to sunsets that remind you why you slow down every now and then — Barrett got a chance to step away, enjoy some fishing, and take in the view.

Now it’s back to what matters most — standing up for our clients and getting to work.

When it’s serious, call Barrett Legal.

Franchesca's mom

My mom meant everything to me and continues to have a lasting impact on my life. She was incredibly funny and always had a way of finding joy in everyday moments. She also had a gift for seeing the best in people, even when they couldn’t see it in themselves. I carry her kindness, humor, and perspective with me every day, and I’m so grateful for everything she poured into me. She will always be a part of who I am.

Meet Mr. Kevin Willhelm

Kevin Willhelm began his legal career in 1992 as an insurance defense litigator, representing individuals and companies in complex cases ranging from catastrophic vehicle accidents to toxic exposure claims involving nuclear plant construction. After three years, he transitioned to one of the largest bankruptcy law firms in San Antonio, where he quickly distinguished himself as one of the youngest attorneys to become board certified in consumer bankruptcy.

In 1999, Kevin relocated to Abilene to manage the local office of Monte J. White & Associates. He later co-founded the Law Offices of Weir & Willhelm, P.C. with Woody Weir, expanding his practice to meet the broader legal needs of a growing and loyal client base.

In 2025, Kevin became Of Counsel with Barrett Legal to further diversify and meet the needs of his clients.

With more than 30 years of experience, Kevin has represented thousands of clients across a wide spectrum of legal matters, including civil, criminal, family, probate, disability, and bankruptcy law. He is board certified in consumer bankruptcy by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1992.

Kevin’s distinguished career includes admission to practice before the United States Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and multiple federal district courts in Texas. He has been recognized as a Super Lawyer from 2021 to 2026, is a Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation, and is an active member of numerous professional organizations, including the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Pro Bono College.

He is a past president of the Abilene Young Lawyers Association and was named its Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year in 2002. In addition to his legal accomplishments, Kevin is a member of Mensa and the ACU Lettermen’s Association, holds a Third Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, and has served as an approved Special Prosecutor for Jones and Shackelford Counties.

Diana and her mom
My mom is one of the strongest women I know. In her own quiet way, her heart is full of love. Watching her through all of her life’s seasons has been a blessing. She carries a strength that runs deep. Thank you, "ma", for all your sacrifices and your example. You have helped shape me into the person I am today. La quiero mucho!

Barrett Dye and his mom

My mom is at the core of who I am—and so much of what I’ve been able to build traces back to her.
She taught me early that nothing is out of reach. If you want something bad enough, you go get it. No excuses. No limits.

She gave more than anyone will ever fully see—quiet sacrifices, long days, and constant support—to make our childhood what it was. Because of her, my sister and I were never just told we could achieve… we were positioned to.

And even now, she’s still in our corner—pushing, encouraging, and believing in us every step of the way.
Happy Mother’s Day. I wouldn’t be where I am without you.

Kevin and his mom

My mother didn’t birth me, she chose me. She adopted me.
My mother nurtured, cajoled, scolded and encouraged me to be better and stronger.
My mother made me exercise the art of being a gentleman while my father exemplified it.
My mother blessed me.
